And during the votes on this bill, the Democrats said, nope, keep sending Medicaid to illegal immigrants or 1.2 million illegal immigrants on Medicaid right now. American people reject that. We have over 5 million people sitting at home who are able to work, who are on Medicaid and choose not to work. Republicans believe there should be work requirements. Democrats voted, nope, not even modest work requirements. If the Democrats were still in charge of everyone's taxes would be going up and we'd be less safe and less secure as a nation. (01:13–01:20)
