Attorney General Alan Wilson stops Biden from giving Obamacare to illegal aliens

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson has obtained a stay from a North Dakota Federal Court stopping the Biden-Harris Administration from unlawfully giving taxpayer-subsidized federal health insurance to illegal aliens and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients.

In 2012, the Obama Administration established the DACA program to protect illegal aliens living inside the United States, brought as children, from deportation and allowed renewable work authorization. In 2023, the Biden Administration sought to expand this program by allowing more than 200,000 DACA recipients and “other noncitizens” to be considered “lawfully present” to qualify and receive taxpayer-subsidized federal health benefits under Obamacare.

“South Carolina is standing strong against the Biden-Harris Administration’s unlawful attempt to reward illegal aliens with federal benefits. This ruling sends a clear message: our laws matter, and we won’t let Washington undermine the rule of law to push their open-border agenda,” said Attorney General Wilson. “South Carolinians or any US taxpayer should not have to foot the bill for people who entered this country illegally.”

South Carolina was joined by 19 States including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
