“It’s a lie told by the Democrats that they’re not trying to give healthcare benefits to illegal aliens. It’s a lie that is obviously untrue if you just look at the text that they gave us, and all you have to do is understand that this is about who benefits,” he said, explaining that the Trump administration’s position is that the government should benefit American citizens — not illegal immigrants.

“The Democrats are willing to shut it down to benefit illegal aliens. The contrast couldn’t be more clear,” he added.

Notably, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) — who is 87 — admitted on Tuesday that Democrats are “demanding health care for everybody,” including illegal aliens.
