Young aliens are poised to receive subsidized healthcare as early as next year unless Republicans are able to stop them in court.

Thanks to a Biden-Harris administration rule that went into effect on Nov. 1st, young aliens who were brought to the U.S. when they were minors — known as “Dreamers” — may now enroll in Obamacare for 2025 and even take advantage of its lavish federal subsidies.

“The government estimates that about 100,000 previously uninsured people out of the half-million DACA recipients might sign up starting Nov. 1,” according to NPR.

DACA is short for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an Obama-era executive action that granted protection from deportation to “Dreamers” and also gave them the right to legally work in the United States.

The good news is that in August, Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach filed a federal lawsuit in a North Dakota district court on behalf of over a dozen GOP-led states to prevent the Biden-Harris administration’s new rule from taking effect.

“Illegal aliens shouldn’t get a free pass into our country,” Kobach said in a statement at the time. “They shouldn’t receive taxpayer benefits when they arrive, and the Biden-Harris administration shouldn’t get a free pass to violate federal law. That’s why I am leading a multistate lawsuit to stop this illegal regulation from going into effect.”

The lawsuit argues that the rule would violate a federal law that prohibits public benefits from being doled out to criminal aliens. The rule would also reportedly violate Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act) itself.

“In the ACA, Congress limited eligibility to participate in a qualified health plan through a subsidized health exchange to citizens or nationals of the United States and individuals ‘lawfully present’ in the United States,” the suit reads.

Some states participating in the suit have also argued that the new Biden-Harris administration rule would harm them.

“Idaho, Kentucky, and Virginia, which administer their own Marketplaces, claim that extending access to health coverage to DACA recipients will create ‘additional administrative and resource burdens’ as more people enter the Marketplaces,” according to the Health Affairs journal.

“They also claim that the rule will increase immigration and state spending because it will encourage undocumented persons to remain in the US ‘in the hope of receiving subsidized health insurance through the ACA.’ The states say that they are home to thousands of DACA recipients and the rule will fiscally harm them because they will have to spend more on public services such as education, health care, law enforcement, and public assistance,” the reporting continues.

During a hearing two months later on Oct. 15th, Kobach argued against the rule in court.

“Congress made it clear on two separate occasions that illegal aliens cannot receive Obamacare,” he said. “First, a 1996 law makes clear that illegal aliens are generally prohibited from receiving federal benefits. Second, in the Affordable Care Act itself, an alien has to be lawfully present in the United States to receive the subsidized health insurance.”

North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley and South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley also appeared in court alongside him.

“Washington has failed to secure our southern border, and the cost of DACA is not the right solution for the states,” Jackley said. “DACA’s subsidized health insurance for illegal immigrants would be at the cost of struggling working citizens.”

Their arguments were heard by U.S. District Judge Daniel Traynor, who was appointed in 2019 by then-President Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, NBC News ran a story this week about several criminal aliens, including third-year University of Washington law student Dania Sarahi Quezada, 27, who was planning to “purchase” health insurance as early as Friday.

“Quezada moved to the U.S. from Mexico when she was 5 years old and became a DACA recipient in 2012,” NBC News notes. “She and other DACA recipients have asked the court to allow them to join the Kansas case, siding with the defense.”

“This is my home, and I am going to fight to be allowed to live here,” she told the left-wing outlet.
