Democratic leaders, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), have vehemently denied Republican claims, characterizing them as “outright lies.”They have insisted their key demands focus solely on extending Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits set to expire and other health expenditures for American citizens. “Federal law prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars to provide medical coverage to undocumented individuals. And there is nothing in anything that we have proposed that is trying to change that law,” Jeffries stated in a recent interview with CNBC. Host Jake Tapper confronted the Minority Leader with the text of the Democratic proposal, citing provisions that address healthcare for non-citizens. So they’re non-citizens, they’re not undocumented, they’re not illegal.
