Two issues, the economy and immigration, made Biden a one-term president and to this day the Democratic Party’s favorability lies at record lows of just 33 percent, according to latest national average of polls compiled by RealClearPolling.com.
Now, observed our friend Robert Romano, Executive Director of Americans for Limited Government, Congressional Democrats are once again threatening a partial government shutdown unless their demands to provide taxpayer-funded health care for illegal aliens are met. They lost the election on illegal immigration, and never ones to take a lesson from defeat, that means they think taxpayers should have to pay for the healthcare of illegal aliens.
Mr. Romano, who we think is one of the smartest guys in DC when it comes to the budget and spending, says the Democratic Party counterproposal takes apart pieces of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and would come in at an estimated price tag of some $662 billion added to the deficit over the next decade according to the Congressional Budget Office and even then, would only fund the government until Oct. 31.
That includes $349.8 billion to make permanent the expanded premium tax credit under the 2021 American Rescue Plan and 2022 Inflation Reduction Act that substantially increased Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium subsidies, $40.3 billion to repeal a 2025 Department of Health and Human Services regulation that removes Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) from ACA marketplaces and $271.8 billion to repeal sections of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that cut waste, fraud and abuse from Obamacare.

That includes repealing sections 71301, 71302, 71303, 71304, and 71305 of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which explicitly bar illegal aliens from receiving taxpayer-funded health care.

The proposal is more or less dead on arrival. Democrats neither have a majority in the House nor the Senate, and with President Donald Trump in the White House, even if by some miracle their proposal passed, it would be vetoed. So, what’s the point?
All Democrats can do is filibuster in the Senate and say no but at the end of the day, without a single chamber of Congress backing them up, they lack the leverage to do anything other than throw a temper tantrum on national television.
All for illegal aliens who are not even supposed to be here.
In the meantime, noted Mr. Romano, the Republican proposal is a no-frills extension of current spending until Nov. 21 — it only changes spending by about a net $1.1 billion around the edges according to the Congressional Budget Office — providing more time for House and Senate appropriators to work on what will otherwise be a year-end omnibus spending bill or else another year-long continuing resolution, effectively freezing spending at last year’s levels.
The Capitol Switchboard is (202-224-3121), we urge CHQ readers and friends to call the Senators and Representative TODAY to urge them to hold the line against any increase in spending. Tell the Democrats to go ahead and throw the GOP in the briar patch of refusing to fund Medicare and Medicaid for illegal aliens, and that a vote in favor of a clean Continuing Resolution to fund the government through November 21 is your minimum expectation.
