Another day, another defeating for for the lame duck Biden Administration, this one on forcing taxpayers to pay for illegal alien’s ObamaCare.
A federal judge has blocked a Biden-Harris administration rule that required health insurance coverage for those brought across the border illegally as children.
Texas and 18 other Republican-led states sued the federal government over the rule, which allowed Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients to enroll in a federally run health insurance plan under the Affordable Care Act.
DACA is an Obama-era program that delays the deportation of those who arrived in the U.S. illegally as minors.
The 19 states argued that the Biden rule encourages illegal aliens to remain in the U.S. and forces legal citizens to contribute funds for their health care.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Daniel Traynor agreed with the states and halted the rule, citing federal law that prohibits giving public benefits to those who are not legal citizens.
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, whose office spearheaded the lawsuit, called the decision “a big win for the rule of law.”
“Congress never intended that illegal aliens should receive Obama care benefits,” Kobach posted on X. “Indeed, two laws prohibit them from receiving such benefits.”
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton applauded the decision on social media.
Just as ObamaCare was a Trojan Horse to enable government takeover of health care, DACA “dreamers” were a Trojan horse to soften American opposition to the Democratic Party’s policy of importing illegal aliens in America. Of course, the Obama holdovers decided they didn’t need popular opinion on their side and just opened the floodgates to every illegal alien gang-banger who could make it across the border.
One by one, the illegal rules enacted by the Biden Administration to decontrol the border and normalize and subsidize illegal aliens are falling by the wayside. Let’s hope Trump47 kicks that process up into overdrive.
