It’s the question every hardworking American asks when looking at their paycheck: Where in the world does it all go? We’re told our tax dollars fund roads, our military, and you know, the basics of a functioning society. Yet, with every passing year, the government’s appetite just grows, while the services we rely on seem to be held together with duct tape. Patriots know there’s a deep rot in the system—a deliberate siphoning of our nation’s wealth toward priorities that defy all common sense.

The radical Left has gotten slick. They’ve become masters at hiding their real agenda in plain sight, using complicated bureaucratic jargon and budget gimmicks to obscure a simple, infuriating truth. They’ve cooked up a shadow system, a neat little trick that operates outside the law to reward those who have broken our laws. All of it, naturally, on the dime of law-abiding citizens. Now, the lights are finally being turned on, revealing a scam more brazen and offensive than most could ever imagine.

From ‘Fox News’:
Protecting Medicaid from waste, fraud and abuse isn’t optional. It’s the law. Every dollar misspent on illegal healthcare spending is a dollar taken from vulnerable Americans.

Federal law forbids using Medicaid funds for illegal immigrants, yet several Democrat-led states did it anyway. The Trump administration won’t tolerate it. CMS is auditing aggressively, recovering every dollar and holding states accountable.

That powerful declaration comes directly from the Trump administration’s Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and it signals a long-overdue reckoning. A preliminary federal audit has just uncovered a jaw-dropping $1.35 billion heist of federal Medicaid funds. This money was illegally funneled by Democrat-led states and districts to pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants. President Trump’s administration has made a simple promise: they will claw back every last dollar.

The list of offenders reads like a who’s who of sanctuary state disasters: California, Illinois, Oregon, Colorado, Washington, and even our nation’s capital. California, no surprise there, is the worst culprit by a mile, having improperly spent over $1 billion of federal money. According to experts like Chris Pope at the Manhattan Institute, these states have learned how to “game the system.” They use backdoor loopholes and so-called “provider taxes” to get federal matching funds for things explicitly prohibited by law.

Blue States Caught Red-Handed

While the sheer scale of the fraud is shocking enough, the real depravity of this scheme is found in who, exactly, has been cashing in on this stolen taxpayer money. Jim O’Neill, a deputy secretary at Health and Human Services, has been exposing the sickening truth through a daily series he calls “MorningMedicaidMugshot.” What he’s found should turn the stomach of every decent American.

These aren’t just families looking for a better life. In far too many cases, they are violent criminals who have brought nothing but mayhem and tragedy to our communities. O’Neill highlighted the case of Layth Kamil, an illegal alien from Iraq convicted of exposing himself to a 15-year-old girl. He received nearly $16,000 in taxpayer-funded healthcare. Then there’s Haissam Massalkhy, an illegal alien from Lebanon who killed an American citizen while driving drunk. His reward? Over $30,000 in Medicaid benefits.

From Your Pocket to Violent Criminals

The list goes on, including illegal immigrants convicted of attempted murder and even child rape. Think about that. For years, Democrats have been using your money—funds that should be helping struggling American seniors, veterans, or disabled children—to provide comfort and care for the very people who prey on our society. California’s Governor Gavin Newsom? He predictably denies everything, of course. But the federal audit tells the real story.

This is the swamp President Trump promised to drain. This isn’t just about a line item in a budget; it’s a battle for the soul of our nation. For too long, a corrupt political class has deliberately put Americans last. They have prioritized illegal aliens over citizens, criminals over victims, and open borders over the rule of law.

President Trump’s decisive action to reclaim these funds is a clear declaration that this era of lawlessness is over. The fight to restore sanity won’t be easy, but it has begun. This is a crucial step in dismantling the radical Left’s agenda and reaffirming a simple, powerful principle: the government of the United States should serve the citizens of the United States. Period.

Key Takeaways

  • Democrat-run states illegally funneled over $1.3B in federal funds to illegal aliens.
  • Your tax dollars were used to fund healthcare for violent criminals, including murderers.
  • President Trump’s administration is taking decisive action to claw back the stolen money.
  • This scandal exposes the dangerous reality of the Left’s “Americans Last” agenda.
