For months, Democrats have insisted that illegal immigrants are not getting taxpayer-funded healthcare, either via Medicare or Medicaid.
.
U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria said the Trump administration can share location data about illegal immigrants receiving public health insurance benefits with ICE, starting in January.
Gee, how can President Trump share Medicaid data with ICE when Democrats have sworn up and down that illegal immigrants aren’t getting Medicaid?
In his seven-page order, Chhabria wrote, “The sharing of such information is clearly authorized by law, and the agencies have adequately explained their decisions.”
Democrat-run states opposed the data sharing, which is why the case wound its way through the court systems, including California and 21 others.
The ruling limits the sharing of data to those in the United States illegally and can include citizenship, immigration status, address, phone number, date of birth, and Medicaid ID.
DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said the ruling is a “victory for the rule of law and American taxpayers.”
Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left’s lies, new legislation wasn’t needed to secure our border, just a new president.
