Alabama Attorney General Marshall Stops Biden from Giving Obamacare to Illegal Aliens

December 10, 20214 - (MONTGOMERY, AL.) - A federal court has halted a Biden Administration rule that would have provided taxpayer-subsidized health plans to immigrants who are in the country illegally. Attorney General Marshall (R) joined a coalition of 18 other state attorneys general in suing to stop the proposed rule from going into effect. Kansas led the coalition arguing the case in October, and the court sided with the attorneys general and granted a preliminary injunction.

"Under no circumstances should American citizens be bankrolling Obamacare for illegal immigrants," said Attorney General Marshall. "Not only would subsidized healthcare be another incentive for illegal immigration, but the agency threatened to cut the funding States use to run the very exchanges required under the Affordable Care Act. Thankfully, the court put another nail in the coffin of Biden's radical leftwing agenda. I am looking forward to January 20 and a new hope for the American dream and our country's prosperity."

The regulation would have made approximately 200,000 deferred action for childhood arrival (DACA) recipients eligible for Obamacare. The coalition argued that a 1996 law generally prohibits illegal aliens from receiving federal benefits, and the Affordable Care Act itself says that an alien has to be lawfully present in the United States to receive subsidized health insurance.

In addition to Alabama and Kansas, state attorneys general from Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Florida, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia joined the coalition.
