"Everything else — the CBO score, the proper baseline, the minutiae of the Medicaid policy — is immaterial compared to the ICE money and immigration enforcement provisions." - VP JD Vance, as the budget reconciliation bill was approaching final passage in the House.
The policy has been clearly stated. Getting rid of immigrants is the one and only priority. Health care policy does not matter. Budget policy does not matter.
And as we see here, rights do not matter, if they get in the way of aggressive pursuit of immigration policy.
They are doing it because they can. Linking it to one side of the political debate is an unhelpful straw man. As an example the openly political tone of the article makes me trust it less.
