Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants could receive health care coverage from their employers under the bills winding their way through Congress, despite President Obama's explicit pledge that illegal immigrants would not benefit.
The House bill mandates, and the Senate bill strongly encourages, businesses to extend health care coverage to all employees. But the bills do not have exemptions to screen out illegal immigrants, who usually obtain jobs by using false identities and are indistinguishable from legal workers.
A rough estimate by the Center for Immigration Studies suggests that the practical effect of the mandates would be that about 1 million illegal immigrants could obtain health insurance coverage through their employers. More at the Washington Times:
Uh, huh. I have some questions. Is it "hundreds of thousands" or is is "1 million?" What happened to the "12 million in the shadows?" Why will only 1 million get coverage and not the whole 12 million? Sounds like this "reporter" is full of shitsky to me.
Also, remember when Obama was addressing congress and said illegals would not be covered and then Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) shouted out "you lie?" I do. And I recall the media mocking Joe Wilson for it. I wonder why that same media hasn't said "gee, perhaps we were wr ... wr ... WRONG!" I mean, to be fair, it seems they would have something to say here, don't you agree?
Why can the congress solve health care, climate change, cap and trade, etc yet they can't seem to figure out how to stop illegal aliens from getting a job or from getting taxpayer benefits? I suppose it's just too difficult.
