Now it's Virginia!
Democrats pass bill to provide health insurance to illegal immigrants
Virginia Democrats have advanced a bill called the “Cover All Kids” Act that aims to provide taxpayer-funded comprehensive health care coverage to uninsured illegal immigrants under 19 years old.
This legislation was passed in the state senate on a party-line vote and has faced criticism from Republicans who argue it incentivizes illegal immigration and diverts resources from legal residents.
State Sen. Glen Sturtevant said, “Because of President Biden’s open-border policy, every state is now a border state––including Virginia.”
“Meanwhile, Virginia Democrats in the General Assembly are making every effort to undermine legal immigration and incentivize illegal immigration into the commonwealth,” explained the lawmaker.
“This session, Virginia Democrats have introduced bills that directly incentivize illegal immigration,” Sturtevant warned.
“They want to grant illegal immigrants driver’s licenses that are valid for up to eight years. Now, they’re also working to divert limited resources from low-income Virginians to pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants. That will cost Virginia taxpayers more than $100 million just in this decade,” he continued.
