BREAKING NEWS: Karoline Leavitt Shows Absolutely No Mercy To Dems On Day 6 Of Govt Shutdown | FULL

The current government shutdown, now in its sixth day, is attributed to Democrats prioritizing "free healthcare for illegal aliens" over reopening the government. A Republican-backed bill to fund the government, pay troops, and support critical programs like WIC has been repeatedly blocked by Democrats in both the House and Senate. This shutdown is causing significant financial stress for millions of federal workers and jeopardizes vital programs.

The administration argues that the Democrat proposal for reopening the government includes nearly $200 billion for healthcare for undocumented immigrants over the next decade, a sum comparable to funding the entire children's health insurance program. This policy, they contend, would allow illegal aliens to receive Medicaid benefits, even paying more for emergency care than for American citizens who are disabled, elderly, or children.

In contrast, the Republican approach is to pass a clean, nonpartisan funding bill to reopen the government immediately. The president is ready to sign this bill, and the administration is urging Democrat senators to vote for it to end the shutdown and avert further negative consequences, such as layoffs for federal employees and disruptions to essential services.

• The government shutdown is on its sixth day, with Republicans blaming Democrats for prioritizing "free healthcare for illegal aliens."
• A Republican-backed bill to reopen the government, pay troops, and fund the WIC program has been blocked by Democrats.
• Democrats' proposal for reopening the government allegedly includes nearly $200 billion for healthcare for illegal aliens over ten years.

The Core Issue of the Government Shutdown [2:14]

• The speaker asserts that Democrats intentionally shut down the government to demand "free healthcare for illegal aliens."
• This policy is described as "indefensible and truly radical."
• House Republicans passed a clean and nonpartisan funding bill to keep the government open and ensure payments to troops and other workers.
• Nearly all House Democrats, except one, voted against this bill.
• Senate Republicans have attempted to pass the same bill four times, with the president ready to sign it.
• Almost all Senate Democrats, except three, have voted against this clean funding bill.
• The Democrat's stated condition for reopening the government is the provision of free healthcare for illegal aliens.

The sad truth we believe is that the Democrats intentionally shut down the government and are inflicting this pain on American citizens to try and demand free health care for illegal aliens.

Democrat's Proposal and Funding Implications [3:36]

• The Democrat's funding proposal would allocate nearly $200 billion for healthcare for illegal aliens and other non-citizens over the next decade.
• This amount is contrasted with the funding needed for the entire Children's Health Insurance Program.
• Under the Democrat's proposal, illegal aliens who were granted asylum and paroled would be allowed to receive Medicaid benefits.
• The proposal would also require Medicaid to pay more for emergency care for illegal aliens than for American patients who are disabled, elderly, or children.

Their funding proposal would result in nearly $200 billion spent on health care for illegal aliens and other non-citizens over the next decade.

Impact of the Shutdown and Republican Stance [4:27]

• The Democrat party is blamed for closing the government, leading to job losses, threats to military readiness, economic harm, and chaos.

• A clean and nonpartisan funding bill with no conditions is being backed to reopen the government.

Potential Layoffs and Obamacare Subsidies [8:51]
