Democrats have dug in their heels and refused to support a clean funding bill already passed by the House, that would extend the current spending levels to fund the government for another 7 weeks.
Since no funding bill has been passed in the Senate, the government is set to begin a “shutdown” at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday.
Democrats are claiming that the Republican bill will destroy healthcare for Americans. But Republicans say what Democrats really want to do is put NON-CITIZENS back on taxpayer-funded healthcare programs.
While speaking to a reporter outside Tuesday, Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.) just admitted that is exactly what they want.
“Are Democrats demanding healthcare for illegal aliens?” the reporter asked.
“Democrats are demanding healthcare for EVERYbody,” Waters replied, extending her hands out to include a large swath of people.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair posted the video and asked, “How many views can we get on this clip of Maxine Waters saying the quiet part out loud?”
As of Tuesday night, the video has already generated over 1 million views in just over 3 hours since it was posted.

Christian Collins, founder and president of the Texas Youth Summit, posted a reminder from the 2020 Democrat primary debate, when every single Democrat candidate raised their hand in support of healthcare for illegal aliens.
“In 2019, every Democrat presidential candidate rose their hand in support for healthcare for illegal aliens. Today, Democrats are willing to shut down the government over free healthcare for illegals. Democrats have always put illegals before Americans,” Collins wrote.

Journalist Jeff Rainforth posted a video he took at the border near Lukeville, Arizona, when as many as 1,000 people per DAY were coming across the border in that area during the Biden administration.
“Democrats are shutting down the government because President Trump won’t allow free healthcare for illegal aliens like these. Most are from Islamic-majority African nations. I filmed 800-1000 cross the border daily near Lukeville, Arizona, during Biden’s term. It went on 7 months,” Rainforth wrote.
Here’s who Dems want to give free stuff to. Just say no. https://t.co/h0T1zo2hvV
