In fact, in fiscal year 2024, Medicaid costs for emergency services for illegal immigrants skyrocketed by 142% from the previous year to $9.1 billion.

That's $9.1 billion taxpayer dollars that were going to emergency services for illegals.

Between President Trump's last full fiscal year under his first administration and Joe Biden's last full fiscal year, Medicaid spending on emergency services for illegal immigrants nearly tripled.

There was an increase of 196% between 2020 and 2024.

And I have a chart here for you, and I'm more than happy to email it to you.

I'd also like to add...

because some were asking dishonest questions yesterday about emergency rooms.

In Southern California, according to health care professionals, in 2023, under the Biden administration, Southern California's, quote, entire health care system was being bombarded with illegal immigrants and forcing American patients to endure longer wait times.

In Denver, Colorado, the CEO of Denver Health stated that 8,000...

Illegal immigrants made 20,000 visits to the city's health system in 2023 leaving an uncompensated bill totaling over $10 million.

So when a legal alien goes to the emergency room, who's paying for it?

The American taxpayer.

Look, the president likes to have a little fun every now and then, and I think both things can be true at the same time.

The Democrats have given the administration this opportunity, and we don't like laying people off.

Nobody takes joy in that around here.

And if you think that, then I think that's very sad.

You view the White House and our staff as wanting to put people out of work.

Nobody wants to do that.

But sometimes in government, you have to make tough decisions.

The Congressional Budget Office has been historically wrong. In fact, they predicted the Trump tax cuts from the president's first term in 2017. Their prediction was wrong by half a trillion dollars. There hasn't been a single staffer in the entire Congressional Budget Office that has contributed to a Republican since the year 2000.
