Summary

Ocasio Cortez New Bill Grants FULL Welfare To ALL Illegal Immigrants, Countering Trump's New Rules. In what may be the most absurd and dramatic escalation from the second Democratic Debates, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has just proposed a bill that will grant full federal benefits to all immigrants regardless of legal status.The Democrats faced heavy criticism for stating they would provide government funded healthcare (universal health coverage) to non citizens in the second debate and now AOC has seemed to taken it one step further for some reason.This comes just after President Trump announced new rules that all immigrants would need to provide proof of finances to cover potential medical costs in what he says will help reduce the financial burden on the American taxpayer posed by non citizen unrecovered medical costs.It seems that the democrats far left push is not just a combination of actually holding far left social justice ideology but also a desperate need to differentiate themselves from the president. It often seems that they just propose whatever is the opposite of what Trump is doing.In this instance Trump announces restrictions on legal immigrants so the far left Democrats announce complete federal welfare for all non citizens.
