HHS\u2019 proposed rule would cost the American taxpayer more than $100 million in its first year alone and would encourage more aliens to enter our country illegally in the hopes of receiving similar benefits. This is all part of President Biden\u2019s open-border agenda that has so far led 5.5 million aliens to enter our country illegally\u2014more than the population of Oklahoma. I am proud to introduce this legislation with Senator JD Vance of Ohio to protect taxpayer dollars and exclude illegal aliens from further straining critical programs that are intended for Americans and those immigrants here legally,\u201d said Congressman Josh Brecheen.\n\n\u201cThe American taxpayer should never be forced to cover the cost of healthcare for illegal immigrants. It\u2019s common sense: people who break our laws should not reap the benefits of public programs intended for lawful citizens,\u201d said Senator JD Vance.\n\nBreitbart wrote an exclusive report on the bill, which you can check out here.\n\nCo-sponsors include: Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Representatives Matt Rosendale (R-MT), Kevin Hern (R-OK), Tom McClintock (R-CA), Randy Weber (R-TX), Jeff Duncan (R-SC), Glenn Grothman (R-WI), Eric Burlison (R-MO), Diana Harshbarger (R-TN), Pete Sessions (R-TX), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Ralph Norman (R-SC), and Paul Gosar (R-AZ).", 1, "2026-04-07T14:30:38Z", "2026-04-07T14:34:04Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://brecheen.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=183"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4792256988584995, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
