Over the past three-plus weeks since the start of the Schumer shutdown, Democrats have continued to spread the rhetorical equivalent of cow manure about millions of taxpayer dollars that are not going to pay for the health care of illegal immigrants in the United States. Their daring kabuki theater.
Earlier in October, House Speaker Mike Johnson explained to former Bill Clinton campaign staffer George Stephanopoulos of ABC News exactly how—and why—Democrats demanded that the federal government continue to feed illegal immigrants across the country in order to pay for their health care; this is the main purpose of the shutdown.
Meanwhile, even with much of the federal government in hibernation mode, the Trump administration continues to work to lower drug costs for everyday Americans by striking a second deal with a major pharmaceutical company.

RedState writes that there is already ample documentation of how widespread fraud, waste and abuse is in the Medicaid program, with Oregon set to allocate a huge amount – about $1.5 billion – for health benefits in 2025-2027, 25 percent of which is covered by federally funded tax revenues.
As recently as May, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Director Dr. Mehmet Oz said the overall amount of Medicaid fraud was astronomical, according to data uncovered by the Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE), as my colleague Bob Hoge wrote.

Now we see another presentation of Medicaid and illegal immigrant receipts in a new interview on Fox News' Fox & Friends this week. Stay in your seats, readers.
The Trump administration “identified more than $1 billion” in taxpayer dollars that was spent on health care for illegal immigrants – and they only looked at “a half dozen states,” Dr. Oz said in his segment this week:
🚨JUST NOW: Dr. Mehmet O.Z. reports that they HAVE FOUND over $1,000,000,000 BILLION US dollars in federal taxpayer funds spent on healthcare for illegal immigrants!

The main positive from his words is that the Trump administration is in the process of “recovering” this money from misuse. As Dr. Oz also stated in the video, the receipts don't lie – and they continue to pile up on the left who control the Democratic Party in this mess.
I'd say the facts are as clear as a pond after a summer storm: Democrats can't hide that they're content to leave real Americans in need out to dry – while they fight tooth and nail to protect illegals with the help of Senator Chuck Schumer. Shameful.

Editor's note: The Schumer shutdown is here. Instead of putting the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the Radical Democrats pushed for a government shutdown of health care to illegal immigrants. They own it.
