“The text is very clear. And I even saw — I think it was George Stephanopoulos in an interview with Mike Johnson — did a fact check that was totally rooted in baseless claims. It was basically Democrat propaganda. If you look at the legislative text that they gave us, they tried to turn on two separate provisions that would give healthcare benefits to illegal aliens,” Vance explained.
