Sen. Thune still adheres to the Parliamentarian’s demands, and she insists we need 60 votes to take illegal aliens off Medicaid.
The Parliamentarian is an Obama plant; can’t we get rid of her? Hire someone from our team while we are still in power?
Senate Democrats moved to block Republican efforts Monday evening to strip illegal immigrants of taxpayer-funded benefits within President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill.
The Senate voted 56 to 44 on an amendment from Republican Texas Sen. John Cornyn that would have reduced federal Medicaid payments to states that offer health care to illegal immigrants charged or convicted of serious crimes. Though four Senate Democrats bucked their party to back the measure, the amendment failed to clear a 60-vote threshold and will therefore not be included in the president’s sweeping tax and immigration-focused bill.
“[Forty-three] Democrats just BLOCKED my amendment to punish states that give Medicaid benefits to illegal aliens convicted or charged with crimes like murder or sex trafficking,” Cornyn wrote in a statement on the social media platform X following the failed vote. “Democrats chose to side with the worst of the worst in our society over our seniors and most vulnerable American citizens. Disgusting.”
This bill is a bit phony. Did anyone really think we would get enough Democrats?
Of course they blocked it. They are the ones who allowed the invasion of the third world, now stealing our wealth and our resources in education, medical care, housing, public services. More than half of illegal immigrants and immigrants in general live off us. They will never leave or stop coming as long as we give them freebies.
Why do we need 60 votes to kick illegals off Medicaid?
It didn’t take 60 votes for them to crash our border & rape our welfare system!
Fire the parliamentarian! https://t.co/egs83acg36

The Empire of Fraud
Additionally, the blue states are poor stewards of our tax dollars. Anything goes. Let’s take California as the worst example.
Multiple senior HHS officials estimate that, under Gavin Newsom, California’s state Medicaid program has lost 25 percent of its budget to fraud. That means it is currently losing $50 billion a year to scammers, fraudsters, and organized crime rings.
California’s Medicaid program pays for exorcisms, housing, in-home chefs, and student loans. Sen. Kennedy calls it spending porn.
California uses a loophole to inflate provider payments, draw down more federal funds, then diverts the money, including $4 billion, to pay for illegal aliens on Medicaid.
To be fair, Dr. Oz and the Vice President’s fraud team are working on it.
