Press Release: AG Labrador Stops Biden Administration from Giving Obamacare to Illegal Aliens

| [BOISE] – A North Dakota federal court yesterday halted a Biden Administration rule that would have provided taxpayer-subsidized health plans to illegal aliens. Attorney General Raúl Labrador joined a coalition of 18 other state attorneys general in suing to stop the proposed rule from going into effect. Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach led the coalition and personally argued the case in October. The court sided with the coalition of state attorneys general and granted a preliminary injunction. “This is another solid victory for the rule of law,” said Attorney General Labrador. “Federal statutes are clear that illegal immigrants shall not receive Obamacare benefits, but Idaho and other states had to sue to force the federal government to comply. The utter disregard for federal laws, from the illegal immigrants and the Biden Administration both, is unacceptable and indistinguishable.” The regulation would have made more than 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, or Obamacare, itself says that an alien must be lawfully present in the United States to receive subsidized health insurance. In addition to Labrador and Kobach, state attorneys general from Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Florida, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia joined the coalition.

Fat Raul should self deport his own Puerto Rican brown ass back to Garbage Island. He got enough free benefits from the government tit himself growing up. What a hypocrite !!!!!
Provide the receipts, please!
AG Labrador’s involvement in this is a perfect example of what we elected him to do and my hat is off to him! Sir, you have clear-thinking Idahoans best interests at heart and we’re grateful for it. This collaborative effort along with other attorney generals to halt yet one more in a very long list of lawless actions by the outgoing administration in Washington D.C. is a perfect reminder that we cannot wait until they’ve cleaned out their collective desks and departed.
Again, thank you AG Labrador…we’re proud and grateful for the excellent job you’re doing, sir.
