Tax & Budget
Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" signed July 4, 2025, kicked millions of legal immigrants off health insurance by requiring Social Security numbers for everything from ACA subsidies to Medicare. Legal immigrants pay taxes but can't access the programs they fund. Their American-born children also lose benefits because their parents have the "wrong" paperwork, even though they're here legally.
