Trump Admin Found ‘More Than $1B’ in Taxpayer Dollars Were Spent on Illegals’ Healthcare – RedState
In the last three weeks since Schumer’s shutdown began, Democrats continue to spread the rhetorical equivalent of cow manure that millions of taxpayer dollars will not 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 ABC News’ former Bill Clinton campaign operative George Stephanopoulos exactly how – and why – Democrats demanded that the federal government continue operating illegal immigrants across the country to pay for their health care; this is the main purpose of the judgment.
Meanwhile, even as much of the federal government is in standby mode, the Trump administration continues to work to lower the cost of drugs for ordinary Americans through a second deal with a big pharmaceutical company.

RedState wrote that there is already extensive documentation of the extent of fraud, waste and abuse that is endemic in the Medicaid program, with Oregon poised to distribute a massive sum — approximately $1.5 billion — in health benefits from 2025 to 2027, 25 percent of which is covered by federally funded taxpayer dollars.
Most recently, in May, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Director Dr. Mehmet Oz said that overall Medicaid fraud was astronomical, based on what had been uncovered by the Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE), as my colleague Bob Hoge wrote.

Today we see yet another presentation of receipts regarding Medicaid and illegal immigrants, in a new interview with Fox News’ Fox & Friends this week. Hold on to your seats, readers.
The Trump administration has “identified over a billion dollars” in taxpayer money that was spent on illegals’ health care – and it only investigated “half a dozen states,” Dr. Oz said in this week’s segment:

A major positive in what he said is that the Trump administration is “recovering” this money from misuse. As Dr. Oz also said in the video, the recipes don’t lie – and they continue to pile on the leftists who control the Democratic Party in this mess.
I would say the facts are as clear as a pond after a summer storm: Democrats cannot hide the fact that they are willing to leave needy Americans out to dry – while they fight like hell to protect illegal immigrants with Senator Chuck Schumer’s Shutdown. Ashamed.

Editor’s Note: Schumer’s closure is here. Rather than putting the American people first, Chuck Schumer and radical Democrats forced a government shutdown on health care for illegal immigrants. They own that.
