JD Vance slams Dems for shutting down government to get benefits for illegal immigrants —Maxine Waters says she wants 'healthcare for everybody'

The US government has entered a partial shutdown after the deadline passed at midnight to pass legislation keeping the government funded. One of the sticking points for Democrats, most of whom did not vote to keep government running, is federal healthcare funding.

Vice President JD Vance called out Democrats for refusing to own their intention of providing healthcare benefits to illegal immigrants. Democrats have tried to obfuscate that, but Vance said that what they're saying is "not true."

"A Democrat talking point, they say 'we’re not actually trying to give healthcare benefits to illegal aliens,' and here’s why it’s not true," Vance told Fox News on Wednesday morning. "There are two Biden-era programs that explicitly gave the taxpayer healthcare money to illegal alients that we turned off when President Trump took over in January."
