Illegals in Minnesota to Get $107 Million in Taxpayer-Funded Healthcare Benefits This Year [WATCH]

Minnesota state Rep. Isaac Schultz criticized a state program that will provide taxpayer-funded health benefits to illegal aliens, warning that the policy will impose a significant financial burden on residents and could encourage additional illegal immigration.

Schultz addressed the MinnesotaCare program, which he said will distribute benefits to more than 17,000 illegal aliens during the 2025 fiscal year, with costs borne by Minnesota taxpayers.

“This would make Minnesota a magnet for more illegal immigrants,” Schultz said.

He questioned the expectation that non-citizens should receive public benefits funded by taxpayers, drawing a comparison to other countries.

“If I went to Russia, would I be expecting to get the sorts of benefits that Minnesota taxpayers are giving to people who are here illegally,” Schultz said.

According to Schultz, individuals enrolled in the program will receive substantial benefits through the state’s health care system.

“Illegal immigrants in Minnesota in 2025 will be given $7,000 worth of benefits, $7,000 per person in the form of Minnesota Care Benefits here in Minnesota, paid for by Minnesota taxpayers,” he said.

Schultz said enrollment figures show the scale of the program has already grown significantly.

“Over 17,000 people who have already enrolled for this program here in Minnesota in fiscal year 2025 alone,” Schultz said.

He said the total cost to taxpayers will exceed $100 million in a single year.

“That is going to equate to at least $107 million in this fiscal year right now,” Schultz said.

Schultz’s remarks focused on the financial impact of the program and the potential consequences of providing taxpayer-funded benefits to individuals who are in the country illegally, arguing that the policy places an added strain on Minnesota residents who fund the system through taxes.
