Amish Shah Would Give Illegal Immigrants Free Taxpayer-Funded Healthcare
September 2, 2026
Socialist Amish Shah would give illegal immigrants free taxpayer-funded healthcare while raising taxes on hardworking Valley workers, families and seniors by over $4,000. A new report exposed Shah’s extreme plan:
“If Socialist Amish Shah got his way, criminal illegal immigrants would be back on free healthcare while Arizona families foot the bill. Every step of the way, Socialist Shah backed radical open borders policies that led to the worst border crisis in American history and he’d do it all over again.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
Background
Socialist Shah’s position on free taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants comes as no surprise given his record of repeatedly backing open borders policies:
- Shah voted against border security funding and local police funding in the state legislature.
- Shah opposed the Secure the Border Proposition 314 that Arizona voters overwhelmingly passed in 2024.
- Shah said he opposed the Laken Riley Act (apprehending criminal illegal immigrants) in 2026.
- Shah called for dismantling Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the law enforcement agency that apprehends criminal illegal immigrants.
- Shah called to repeal billions of federal dollars for Border Patrol and border security provided by the Working Families Tax Cuts.
- Shah said he voted for Border Czar Kamala Harris in 2024 despite Harris and Biden unleashing the worst border crisis in American history.
