Bummer: Medicaid Forced To Hand Over Info On Illegals To DHS

And The Daily Beast is none to happy about it, which makes me laugh. I suppose I could have used the AP article, but, the moonbattery is so amusing

Trump Admin Hands Migrant Medicaid Data to Deportation Goons

President Donald Trump’s administration handed over Medicaid data on millions of Americans to officials responsible for carrying out the president’s mass deportation effort, the Associated Press reported.

The sensitive personal data includes a person’s immigration status. It also includes information from states that allow non-citizens to enroll in state-funded Medicaid programs—such as California, Illinois, and Washington.

Officials at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service were given just 54 minutes to follow the order on Tuesday, AP reported. Their efforts to halt the transfer, raising legal and ethical concerns, proved unsuccessful.

Two top aides to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pushed the order through, according to emails obtained by the AP.

The data could make it easier for Kristi “ICE Barbie” Noem’s Department of Homeland Security to identify, locate, and deport undocumented migrants—most imminently in Southern California, where escalated ICE raids have sparked protests.

I remember back in the day when Democrat states were warned that giving illegals government healthcare would eventually expose them to federal immigration officials. That day has come.

“We deeply value the privacy of all Californians,” read a statement from Newsom’s office. “This potential data transfer brought to our attention by the AP is extremely concerning, and if true, potentially unlawful, particularly given numerous headlines highlighting potential improper federal use of personal information and federal actions to target the personal information of Americans.”

OK, now that is hilarious. Since when did a state like California value privacy….well, maybe for illegals, certainly not citizens.

Trump vows changes to immigration crackdown to protect migrant farmers, hotel workers

President Donald Trump said he plans to make changes to his administration’s aggressive crackdown on illegal immigration to protect migrant farmers, hotel workers and others in the leisure industry who have been among those deported.

Trump promised the changes in a June 12 Truth Social post that acknowledged Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have expanded arrests beyond just migrants convicted of violent crimes, who Trump officials have said are the primary targets of raids and deportations.

“Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace,” Trump wrote on the social media platform he owns.

Here’s the thing: I sort of agree. Leave those people alone, at least for the time being. Get the criminals. Get the freeloaders. Look for ways to go back to the old ways, were they were given temporary visas to do the work, then they had to go home. And most did. And then came back for the seasonal work.
