The Republican (current) narrative is that the US government is temporarily shuttered because Democrats want to fund healthcare for 22 million ‘illegal’ immigrants (they actually want insurance subsidies extended for 22 million American citizens). This claim is doubly strange because 1) undocumented immigrants are not eligible for government healthcare, and 2) best estimates are that the US has 13 million undocumented immigrants, not 22 million. I see two possibilities here:
1) The number of undocumented immigrants has increased by 9 million - about 1 million per month - since Trump took office.
2) Republican are lying through their fascist teeth and hoping the base won’t notice.
Golly - I wonder which one it could be…
