The White House Secretary Caroline Leavitt on Friday in the press was turned to the corner as it tried to claim that the administration was trying to prevent documents for immigrants to complicate US hospitals as part of the shutdown shutdown.
The secretary of the press was asked whether Trump’s administration’s position is that hospitals should not treat immigrants without documents who appear in emergency departments.
Leavitt denied that it was their position before overcoming the hasty retreats.
“No, that’s not our position,” she said. “Our position is that it is unacceptable that the Biden Administration has facilitated and prompted tens of millions of illegal foreigners into our country and then promised them free health care.”

Leavitt then reiterated the accusations that Democrats want to provide no immigrants for free health care and quickly left the briefing room.
The speaking point that Democrats want to provide health care benefits without documentary immigrants were the most important sending of the administrative reports in the government closing, which is now on the third day.
They said these were the requirements for the closure of Democratic requirements, but Democrats rejected it as a lie.
Democrats are calling for a short -term expenditure account to resolve valid subsidies of affordable supervision, which will increase health care for Americans at the end of the year.
They also want to return some of the Medicaid reductions in the short tax law, adopted in July.
The Republicans argued that the law had accepted that it removes non -document -free immigrants from Medicaid, but the laws were only related to immigrants that meet certain requirements, which are legally and American citizens in the country.
Non -documentation for document immigrants laws are already not allowed by federal health care programs, and the reduction of the exchange will not change it.
In the past, Leavitt briefing told how immigrants who had no documents made it difficult for hospitals, as a part of her reports to Democrats, but later acknowledged that the administration did not change its position, indicating that its statements were not relevant to the current situation.
Discussions on hospitals who are treating immigrants in hospital emergency departments have never been dealt with in the president’s “large, beautiful” account when he passed.
When the draft law was drafted, the states had to be forced to use their own funds to inform informed immigrants for health care, limiting the federal Medicaid money to the states that did so, but this provision never made its final law.
Although the provisions of the withdrawal Act would increase the share of federal funding for hospitals, it will not replace immigrants with no suitability, says Kaiser Family Fund, a non -partisan organization focused on health care policies.

However, Leavitt used its unimportant claims on Friday and even said the offer to provide health care without documentary immigrants promotes “mass illegal invasion”.
“We have seen a miserable consequence when American patients are the last when American patients have to wait for the waiting rooms where grandmothers and grandparents wait for hours and hours to care for hours because they are directed to illegal foreigners, and we disagree,” she said.
She then turned claiming that the administration wished to continue its work of those who were illegally in the country, interrupting the closure. Then she left the briefing dramatically.
Although she stated that the position of the hospital’s emergency departments denied treatment without documentary immigrants, requiring him to be passed during President Ronald Reagan.
The need for emergency medical and labor law (EMTala) requires the hospital to stabilize anyone who appears in an emergency.
The GS Tax Law did not examine anything about the emergency department.
