Bummer: Medicaid Forced To Hand Over Info On Illegals To DHS

And The Daily Beast is none to happy about it, which makes me laugh. I suppose I could have used the AP article, but, the moonbattery is so amusing

Trump Admin Hands Migrant Medicaid Data to Deportation Goons

President Donald Trump’s administration handed over Medicaid data on millions of Americans to officials responsible for carrying out the president’s mass deportation effort, the Associated Press reported.

The sensitive personal data includes a person’s immigration status. It also includes information from states that allow non-citizens to enroll in state-funded Medicaid programs—such as California, Illinois, and Washington.

Officials at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service were given just 54 minutes to follow the order on Tuesday, AP reported. Their efforts to halt the transfer, raising legal and ethical concerns, proved unsuccessful.

Two top aides to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pushed the order through, according to emails obtained by the AP.

The data could make it easier for Kristi “ICE Barbie” Noem’s Department of Homeland Security to identify, locate, and deport undocumented migrants—most imminently in Southern California, where escalated ICE raids have sparked protests.

I remember back in the day when Democrat states were warned that giving illegals government healthcare would eventually expose them to federal immigration officials. That day has come.

“We deeply value the privacy of all Californians,” read a statement from Newsom’s office. “This potential data transfer brought to our attention by the AP is extremely concerning, and if true, potentially unlawful, particularly given numerous headlines highlighting potential improper federal use of personal information and federal actions to target the personal information of Americans.”

OK, now that is hilarious. Since when did a state like California value privacy….well, maybe for illegals, certainly not citizens.

Trump vows changes to immigration crackdown to protect migrant farmers, hotel workers

President Donald Trump said he plans to make changes to his administration’s aggressive crackdown on illegal immigration to protect migrant farmers, hotel workers and others in the leisure industry who have been among those deported.

Trump promised the changes in a June 12 Truth Social post that acknowledged Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have expanded arrests beyond just migrants convicted of violent crimes, who Trump officials have said are the primary targets of raids and deportations.

“Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace,” Trump wrote on the social media platform he owns.

Here’s the thing: I sort of agree. Leave those people alone, at least for the time being. Get the criminals. Get the freeloaders. Look for ways to go back to the old ways, were they were given temporary visas to do the work, then they had to go home. And most did. And then came back for the seasonal work.

    If illegals are completely ineligible for welfare, how could any of them be getting Medicaid?

    The left want you to believe that the illegals are only coming here to work, but the truth is that they are also coming here for our welfare system.

    • Elwood P. Dowd says:

      How? States rights! When Congress and trump turn all of Medicaid expenses to the states the states can do as they please. Unless you believe the feds should tell the states how to spend their own taxes.

      Immigrants come to the United States for many reasons – but essentially for a better life. Some come for the educational opportunities, some to protect their families, some for work, some even for criminal enterprises.

      Approximately 3.1% of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. were unemployed in 2022, according to the Economic Policy Institute. While a relatively small percentage are unemployed, a significant portion (22.8% in 2022) are not in the labor force (students, retired, not looking, stay at home mothers, etc).

        Almost all federal funds distributed to the states — something which should end! — come with federal strings attached. If the states want to give welfare to illegals, they should receive exactly zero federal dollars with which to do so.

          Which was my point. Let states such as California collect their taxes, send none to the feds, and spend on immigrants if they wish. That way states like KY, MO, AR, OK will have to support themselves and not depend on CA, NY, WA, NJ, MA etc for support.

    The Federal government told the federal government about Illegal aliens in the federal government records.

    Fixed it for you.

  3. BSmitty56 says:

    I just watched a reporter ask a former (Democrat) ICE official if ignoring illegals working at farms, hotels, and restaurants means drug dealers and cartel members would work there to hide from ICE. The former Democrat ICE guy gave her a one word answer- no. Even a Democrat is not as ignorant as the American press.

  4. Elwood P. Dowd says:

    The billions in proposed cuts in Medicaid will impact:

    Medicaid pays for more than half of long-term care in the U.S. Most seniors require some sort of nursing home or at-home medical care; one study found that 70 percent of adults who live to 65 will require long-term services and support.

    Anyway… So Mr trump is backing off deporting all the 11 to 21 million “illegals”?

    A week ago, and last night… The Law is the Law! and Illegal is Illegal!

    What are youse guys to believe? What are the DHS and ICE federal police to believe?? Sounds like he’s open to “amnesty”. Teach too! How about the thousands in meat processing plants?

    Why wasn’t Mr teach petitioning Mr trump to do the right thing rather than arguing that deporting every “illegal” without due process was the right thing? Now he wants to keep full time “illegals” as long as they are working in certain industries. But that could change later today.

    Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace. In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs. This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA.

    What is the message, the orders, to our DHS and ICE officers? Attack those liberal, Dem cities and kidnap all those Hispanics, but throw back the ones who prove they work in a hotel??

      And now you know the difference between people who voted for the crackpot from California and those who cast ballots for the Mage from Mar-a-Lago; we do our own dishes, we clean our own houses, and we mow our own lawns.

      You know, like almost every American did forty years ago!

        LOL. Does anyone believe that the Mook from Mar a Lardo has ever done a dish, cleaned a house or mowed a lawn? Dollars to donuts that the Mook has hired more undocumentos than any working class Dem has.

    LOL. That didn’t take long… Who’s running this rodeo?

    Donald Trump has abandoned his brief immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) reprieve for farm and hotel workers, ordering the agency’s raids in those sectors to resume after hardliners crushed a pause that lasted just four days.

    The whiplash reversal, first reported by the Washington Post, exposes the dysfunction gripping the president’s deportation agenda, where competing advisers battle over policy while Trump lurches between contradictory positions.

    “The president has been incredibly clear,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) assistant secretary, Tricia McLaughlin, said in a statement to the Guardian on Tuesday. “There will be no safe spaces for industries who harbor violent criminals or purposely try to undermine Ice’s efforts.”

    The flip-flop also follows Trump’s erratic pattern on major policies – from threatening then retreating on mass global tariffs to wavering on federal spending cuts – as different factions fight for his ear.

    Trump first blinked last Thursday, posting on Truth Social that his “very aggressive” raids were hurting farmers and hotels. The next day, Ice officials reportedly told staff in an internal email to largely lay off raids and arrests in the agricultural, hotel and restaurant industries.

    But now, according to the Post, immigration hawks led by the deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, crushed the pause – after the agriculture secretary, Brooke Rollins, had secured the temporary reprieve amid industry pressure.

    Same as it ever was! If you’re illegal, you will be deported. Hard.
