    Unfortunately, the national IQ has some serious issues that need to be addressed, but it won't be by voting for the Orange Stain.

    This news is two days old.

    DACA recipients will now be eligible for federal health care coverage under new Biden rule

    Over 100,000 young immigrants without health insurance will now be able to buy affordable health care through the plan, the administration estimates.

    More than 100,000 young immigrants protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program will soon become eligible to receive federal health care coverage for the first time since DACA was implemented over a decade ago.

    The Biden administration will announce a new federal rule Friday allowing DACA recipients to enroll in a qualified health plan through the Affordable Care Act insurance marketplace or become eligible for coverage through a basic health program.

    You're right. I had not seen this before.

    YAY!

    Do you know who DACA recipients are?

    It wasn’t the ACA. It was a question posed the all of the 2020 Democrat presidential candidates. They were asked, “Would you support healthcare for illegal aliens?” Every one of them raised their hands.

    They're doing it with credit cards, and at interest rates that are obscene, and that will not improve as long as FJB is racking up so much inflationary debt.

    Under FJB, Consumer Loans and Revolving debt have grown by 40.7% and during a time when interest costs on that debt have skyrocketed.

    During the same amount of time during the Glorious Trumpian era of low inflation and strong real wage growth, debt levels declined by 0.9%

    And I agree, because it is more expensive to society not to have them insured. That is why it is called insurance.

    because they're part of the uniparty and they like what Democrats are doing.

    Tricking people into believing that one party is for you and the other party is against you is the ultimate deception. They're both against you.
    Republican politicians are not fond of trump either because he's a populist and he's breaking their toys too I'm telling you there's one party. Trump is an upstart.

    When you focus on theatrics you miss the bigger picture.

    And if we didn’t allow at least 8 million of them in here in the first place, we wouldn’t need to spend billions on them. Your party is buying votes at our expense so that your party can be perpetually in control.

    Right because they are the same thing as Democrats. It's one party. Democrats are doing **** all regarding roads Bridges train tracks and so forth.

    What we should do is what Sweden did privatize a lot of this. But that takes control away from the uniparty.

    They are the children of undocumented immigrants who were brought here and were raised here. They are for all intents and purposes, AMERICANS.

    Once again, Repubs want to hurt people, not provide solutions. Repubs have a lot of anger issues which don't translate well to governing.

    Then you do not understand the concept of insurance. The more people participate, the lower the cost for everyone else.

    Oh, I understand insurance. I worked for an insurance company for five years. The point I made was that we wouldn’t need to insure the illegal aliens if they weren’t here.

    Fabrications of the uniparty to scapegoat critics is very old rhetoric.

    Instead of dismissing what I say because it's the words of a heretic engage with it. Heresy is how you find truth.

    Some people will not think. They will just do as they're told.

    Sad really.

    In case you are not aware of it, there have been Mexicans and other indigenous people here long before the US drew squiggly lines on a map. We've always had immigrants, in fact, we all are immigrants, even those who claim to be descendants of the Mayflower.

    He knows he remembers it because we all spoke about it here extensively at the time and he was here..... But it's extremely convenient for progressives to have a memory hole. And it was also a convenient excuse for him to run away from the rest of the realities contained within my post. He didn't want to address those because it completely destroyed his talking point propaganda from left-wing media.

    So it was easier for him to slanderously call me a liar and take the lazy cowardly way out.

    I won't hold my breath waiting on any sort of rebuttal much less an apology from such as him.

    In case you're not aware of it almost every nation in the world has belonged to some other people before it became the nation it currently is.

    You sound like a big fan of open borders.
    Did you know the native Americans didn't just spring up here?

    first Mexicans didn't really exist until 1810. Mexico was part of Spain for 300 years prior to that

    Mexico Drew its lines after the US. In parts of the United States actually fought with Mexico over those.

    Also the term indigenous you just means anything but white people without realizing Mexicans are interbred with Europeans that's why they have Spanish names.

    Spanish is a white language it originates from Spain which is in Europe

    no we are not all immigrants who told you this and is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I was born here my parents were born here my grandparents were born here my great-grandparents were mostly born here so you have to go back for generations to find an immigrant.

    We're all descendants of immigrants but that includes the indigenous because they didn't just sprout up out of the dirt here.

    None of this has **** all to do with borders.
