Republican States Sue to Block DACA Recipients from Obamacare Coverage
Fifteen states argue the Biden administration's rule violates federal law by extending healthcare benefits to undocumented immigrants.
- The lawsuit involves 15 Republican-led states, including Kansas, Tennessee, and Virginia.
- The Biden administration's rule would allow DACA recipients to access federally subsidized healthcare starting November 1.
- States claim the rule contradicts federal law and imposes financial burdens on state resources.
- DACA recipients, known as 'Dreamers,' were brought to the U.S. illegally as children but are protected from deportation.
- The administration argues the rule supports Dreamers' contributions and calls for Congress to provide a pathway to citizenship.
