The issue is the premium subsidy for ACA policies. That is not for undocumented migrants.
This is not exactly true. The fight is about the states that allow the use of state funds to fund illegal immigrant healthcare. The argument essentially is "why are we giving you matching funds for your coffers when you just take the money from your coffers and give it to illegal aliens in the form of free health care."
So, whenever you see someone argue that the Republicans aren't being truthful because it is against federal law to fund free healthcare for illegal aliens, they aren't telling you the whole truth.

The democrats are demanding $1 TRILLION for illegal healthcare and illegal benefits. Republicans are telling them to frick off and Trump has them by the balls.
Why are democrats such shiteheads? Everyone else pays for their healthcare
Why do illegals deserve it for free ? Frick all that shite . They can pay and buy policies like we all do .
Or they can go back to where they came from
Subsidizing freeloading illegals is not in my dna. I don’t believe in it

Don’t worry the Rinos will cave like always because they get anxious and upset.

What is there to negotiate? Dems care about illegals, republicans care about Americans first. Trump has them by the balls. Everyday Americans will see what this is truly about.

I thought the issue was ACA subsidies to help people who can’t afford it get insurance? And to get said subsidies you have to be a citizen so illegals don’t enter the picture?
Illegal immigrants are completely ineligible for coverage under the ACA. You are correct. This is a false narrative that republicans are pushing in hopes that average people are too uninformed to see it for the lie that it is.

Some states do commit state funds for healthcare for all regardless of immigration status. That is true. But there is no federal match or federal funding for any such program. That has nothing to do with the federal budget.

All this talk about Democrats, but don't Republicans have the majority in the House? Where's the roadblock?
It's already passed the House. The roadblock is in the Senate and this will require 60 votes to end debate and push to a vote.

And it's not, and never was, affordable.

The house has already passed bill and adjourned. This leavs the shutdown in the Senate's lap.

You are trying to be clever but it's not really clever. "Any such program"--no kidding. But, am I correct that there is matching that is given to the states? Of course I'm correct. So, what happens to those federal matching dollars? Dollars are fungible.
You are basically saying, "Yes, states give dollars for illegal alien healthcare...but not THOSE dollars." Cash is fungible.

Refuse? Maybe if Democrats weren't being their usual dishonest, grossly uneducated selves but as is typical of the Left, they can't help themselves.

Uhh.. this is a clean CR for 7 weeks that ALLOWS negotiations.
You drones try so hard to spread your programming per your downloaded commands.

Because not even Republicans want to do the Constitutional thing and pass an actual BUDGET.
They're all terrible people. Any of you thinking one group is any better than the other are just fooling yourselves. None of them actually want what's best for you and me.

If the government shuts down in the woods and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Shutting it down.
Vance & Johnson live press conference. Dems want 1.5 trillion added to a 7 week CR. My President told them GFY.
