Trump said Biden wants to sign up immigrants illegally in the country for welfare and "United States citizens don't get what they're looking to give illegal immigrants."
A task force recommended that Biden extend health care coverage to immigrants illegally in the country by allowing them to purchase insurance through the Affordable Care Act marketplace, and allowing them to have health care coverage during a pandemic. Being allowed to buy health insurance isn’t the same as getting welfare.
The group also recommended easing federal benefits restrictions on immigrants — but for those lawfully present in the United States. The recommendations do not deny benefits to U.S. citizens or give immigrants illegally in the country an upper hand.
Trump’s claim is inaccurate. We rate it False.
