So stupid for so many reasons. Among them: Immigrants who don't get health care get sicker and die, which is awful enough... but also potentially spread untreated diseases to the rest of the population.

‪NPR‬:

@GottaLaff If people actually read the article before replying to this, I have a feeling the replies would be different. It discusses only two states.

In California, you’ve got Gavin Newsom lurching to the right. No surprise there.

In Minnesota, you have Tim Walz trying to protect health coverage, but the state’s legislature is evenly divided.
