15 States Sue to Stop Biden’s Plan to Provide Health Coverage to Undocumented Immigrants


Fifteen states have filed a federal lawsuit against the Biden administration over a rule that would allow 100,000 immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children to enroll in the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance. The states, all with Republican attorneys general, are seeking to block the rule from taking effect on November 1, the same day the marketplace enrollment opens. The lawsuit argues that the rule violates federal laws and would encourage more illegal immigration, burdening states and public school systems.

Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, a known immigration hardliner, stated that illegal aliens should not receive taxpayer benefits or a free pass into the country. The Biden administration has defended the rule, stating that Dreamers should receive the support they need to succeed and are shielded from deportation. The “Dreamers” and their advocates argue that they are integrated into their communities and contribute to the country.

The states filing the lawsuit argue that declaring the Dreamers’ lawful presence by rule is illogical, as they would face deportation without Biden administration intervention. The lawsuit also highlights the increased costs states face from illegal immigration. Many economists argue that immigrants provide a net economic benefit and help fuel job growth.

The outcome of the lawsuit will have implications for the future of immigration policy and the Affordable Care Act. The Biden administration has faced criticism from Republicans for being weak on curbing illegal immigration, and this lawsuit is part of a broader effort to thwart Democratic policy goals.
