The Truth Behind the Government Shutdown: Democrats Put Illegal Immigrants Over Americans

Democrats are trying to spin the latest government shutdown as a fight about “protecting healthcare,” but the truth is much darker. This is not about insulin prices or making healthcare more affordable for hardworking American families. This is about Democrats refusing to pass a funding bill unless it includes taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants. Let’s be clear: Republicans have been working to keep the government open, secure the border, and protect American families. But Democrats are holding the budget hostage. Their priority is not lowering costs for you—it’s expanding benefits for those who crossed our borders illegally.

The Obamacare Disaster

Since Obamacare was introduced in 2010, healthcare costs in America have skyrocketed. Premiums for families in the individual market more than doubled in the years after the law took effect. Deductibles went up, options went down, and Americans were forced to buy government-approved plans they didn’t want or couldn’t afford. Yet, Democrats still try to claim Republicans are the reason costs are rising. It’s a flat-out lie. The foundation of today’s broken healthcare system was built by Obamacare. Even the Congressional Budget Office confirmed that by 2017, average premiums had spiked nearly 100% compared to before Obamacare.

Who Do Democrats Really Stand For?

If Democrats truly cared about lowering costs for Americans, they’d be negotiating in good faith. Instead, they’re digging in their heels to make sure illegal immigrants get access to the very system that’s already buckling under the weight of high costs and government red tape. Meanwhile, millions of American citizens can’t afford their prescriptions or doctor visits. Families are being crushed by medical bills, but Democrats would rather fight for non-citizens than fix the mess they made.

Kennedy Exposes Democrat Foreign Spending Demands

Senator John Kennedy has now pulled back the curtain on even more absurd Democrat demands. While they refuse to fund basic services for Americans unless illegals get taxpayer healthcare, they are also insisting billions flow to bizarre foreign pet projects. Kennedy listed what Democrats want back in the budget: • $4.2 million for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex people in the Western Balkans and Uganda • $3.6 million for pastry cooking classes and dance focus groups for male prostitutes in Haiti • $500,000 of American taxpayer money for electric buses in Rwanda • $6 million for media organizations for the Palestinians • $833,000 for transgender people in Nepal • $300,000 for a pride parade in Lesotho • $882,000 for social media and mentorship in Serbia • $3 million for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia “We took out, and here’s what they want us to put back in — We took that out. The congresswoman says, we’re going to shut down government until you put that back in,” Kennedy said. He added that Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and “the socialist loon wing of the Democratic Party” are the ones pushing to keep the government closed until these items are restored.

Republicans Put Americans First

Republicans are standing firm: no blank checks for illegal immigration, and no taxpayer dollars wasted on ridiculous foreign projects. The fight is about putting American citizens—workers, families, veterans—first. The mainstream media won’t tell you this. They’ll frame it as Republicans being “obstructionists” or “heartless.” But the truth is simple: the shutdown is happening because Democrats would rather protect illegal immigrants and foreign programs than protect American families from the failed healthcare system they created.
