The Plenary Power Meets the Police Power: Federalism at the Intersection of Health & Immigration

Abstract

On January 8, 2019, shortly after his inauguration, California's Governor Gavin Newsom announced a proposal to provide health coverage to undocumented immigrants up to age 26. That same day, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio offered a $100 million plan to cover 600,000 uninsured New Yorkers, regardless of immigration status. These proposals from public officials on opposite sides of the continent stood in stark contrast to the Trump Administration's demand for a wall at the southern border, and its proposed public charge regulations that are expected to lead millions of lawfully present immigrants and their families to forego health insurance.
