15 States Reject Biden’s Healthcare Plan For Immigrant Children

15 States Sue To Block Biden’s Effort To Provide Health Coverage To Immigrants Brought To US Illegally As Children
Fifteen states have filed a federal lawsuit against the Biden administration over a rule that would allow 100,000 immigrants brought to the US illegally as children to enroll in the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance. The states seek to block the rule, which is set to take effect on November 1, and provide people known as “Dreamers” access to tax breaks when signing up for coverage.
The lawsuit argues that the rule violates a 1996 welfare reform law and the Affordable Care Act, and would encourage more immigrants to come to the US illegally, burdening the states and their public school systems. The states involved in the lawsuit are Alabama, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Virginia.
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach said, “Illegal aliens shouldn’t get a free pass into our country. They shouldn’t receive taxpayer benefits when they arrive, and the Biden-Harris administration shouldn’t get a free pass to violate federal law.”
The lawsuit comes amid Republican attacks on Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris as weak on curbing illegal immigration. Border crossings hit record highs during the Biden administration but have dropped more recently.
The Biden administration has shielded the “Dreamers” from deportation and has said it is committed to providing them with support. In May, Biden said, “I’m proud of the contributions of Dreamers to our country.” The “Dreamers” and their advocates argue that they are young people who had little or no choice in coming to the US and are now fully integrated into their communities.
At least 25 states, including Kansas, Nebraska, and Virginia, allow “Dreamers” to pay the lower tuition rates reserved for their residents, according to the National Immigration Law Center.
The lawsuit said declaring the “Dreamers'” lawful presence by rule is “illogical on its face,” given that they’d face deportation without Biden administration intervention. “Subsidized health insurance through the ACA is a valuable public benefit that encourages unlawfully present alien beneficiaries to remain in the United States,” the lawsuit said
