Many Americans have been pushing for ever greater benefits for illegal immigrants for years. It has been reported in media outlets including The Epoch Times that a new rule by the Biden administration could allow about 100,000 DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipients, or “Dreamers,” to receive health benefits under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), or “Obamacare.” This health care law was passed in 2010 during the Obama administration. Approximately 480,000 Dreamers already receive some form of health care from their employers or unions.
