ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS: Provide Healthcare & Benefits

Agree

Citizens should pay for healthcare & education for illegal immigrants & refugees. Eliminate Voter ID.

Description: "In 2017, she co-sponsored Sen. Bernard Sanders’ 'Medicare for All' legislation, which would have banned private health insurance and created a government-run system open to everyone, including illegal immigrants. At the time, Ms. Harris called the legislation 'the morally and ethically right thing to do.' She said, 'It just makes sense from a fiscal standpoint.' To pay for the proposal, Ms. Harris proposed taxing Wall Street transactions and imposing a 4% tax on households earning more than $100,000 annually, with specific exemptions for households in high-cost areas."
