Exposing The Schumer Shutdown: How Democrats Use Federal Funds To Support Healthcare For Illegals

Posted • October 2, 2025: The Democrats are doing their best to convince the American public the government shutdown is the fault of the big bad meanie Republicans. Of course, the brilliant and sophisticated readers of 'Twitchy' know it is the #SchumerShutdown and Democrats are fully to blame for the halt. —— Chuck Schumer's own state advertises that it has an insurance program through "Medicaid Managed Care" that gives health insurance to illegal immigrants. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G2LXysDWoAAyB_9?format=jpg&name=medium —— 🚨Schumer is ANGRY that Democrats are being accused of giving ILLEGALS free healthcare. "The law prohibits undocumented immigrants from getting payments from Medicare, Medicaid, or the ACA! There's no money…going there!" WRONG—There are 1.4 million illegals on Medicaid. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G2HIrADXoAAAUlh?format=png&name=small

After, I retweeted those two tweets about states advertising Medicaid for illegals, I was told I needed to educate myself of the difference between federal dollars and state dollars. The fact is, I am well aware of the difference, but I am also well aware of the ways duplicitous states take that federal money and use it for illegals. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G2MM45tWQAA7PkT?format=jpg&name=large —— https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G2MNRlNWcAA8LMr?format=jpg&name=large —— So, yes, those are state programs, indeed. They are state programs largely funded by federal dollars. So, yes, the federal government isn't actually spending money giving healthcare to illegals. They send it to the state and the state launders it. Both of these programs receive federal dollars: https://x.com/just_mindy/status/1973495011208732757 —— So, when the Democrats say things like 'federal dollars never fund healthcare for illegals', they are being big, fat liars. Tell your friends and neighbors.

Both of these state programs give benefits to illegals and receive federal funds: https://x.com/just_mindy/status/1973496349325926455 —— Clearly, the Democrats realized this line wasn't working, so they moved on from 'this never happens' to this 'barely ever happens' by the end of the evening. Now it’s just a “small portion” https://rumble.com/v6zrz22-democrat-rep.-ro-khanna-admits-the-portion-of-medicaid-going-to-illegals-is.html —— Mehmet Oz is literally saying it’s happening and it needs to stop. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G2MPktpWoAAjYat?format=jpg&name=large —— Common arguments against illegal inmigrantes receiving healthcare and NY gov saying otherwise. 1. “Federal funds don’t go to state Medicaid programs.” https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G2MRRnQWAAAipwR?format=jpg&name=large —— So, in case your Leftist neighbor comes at you with the lie that the Democrats aren't responsible for the #SchumerShutdown and that federal dollars don't fund illegal's healthcare, now you are fully equipped to win the debate.
