A heated debate has erupted in Congress over a controversial plan proposed by Governor Kristi Noem and TV personality Dr. Mehmet Oz to swiftly remove 1.4 million illegal immigrants from Medicaid. Congressman John Smith of Alabama criticized the plan, calling it "inhumane and irresponsible."

Dr. Oz has defended the proposal, arguing that the removal of illegal immigrants from Medicaid is necessary to ensure the program's financial stability. He also claimed that the GOP's proposed cuts to Medicaid are necessary to address budgetary concerns.

Governor Noem, a close ally of former President Trump, has thrown her support behind Dr. Oz's plan, calling it a necessary step to protect American taxpayers. However, critics have accused Noem and Dr. Oz of using Medicaid as a political tool to target vulnerable populations.

The debate over Medicaid and immigration is likely to intensify in the coming weeks as Congress considers a megabill on healthcare proposed by President Trump. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
