While progress in inducing Americans to sign up for health insurance has been less than robust, The Obama Administration has been meeting with more success signing up Mexican nationals. Affordable Care Act navigators are reportedly conducting a vigorous outreach program at Mexican Consulates all over the US.
Vice-President Joe Biden rejected contentions that this violates President Obama's promise that the ACA would cover only American citizens. The people being signed up are American citizens in everything but name, Biden insisted. They reside in the United States. They have jobs or are receiving government benefits in the United States. And we are giving them the option of registering to vote as they sign up for insurance.
Biden called these persons' illegal entry and presence in the country a temporary technicality. They're going to get amnesty one way or another. If Congress won't do it the President is prepared to act on his own authority.
The Vice-President belittled the idea that immigrants ought to be required to pass a test in order to gain citizenship status. I know we've been requiring immigrants to study the Constitution and American history before we grant them full citizenship rights, but is this reasonable or necessary? Biden asked. Only a tiny minority of people born in America could pass this test. Why should we hold immigrants to a higher standard?

How about Obama and Gang simply run for office in Mexico (even easier to steal elections there), and offer this dog and pony show ACA thing to them, on their own dime?
Sign them up for obamacare and sign them up to vote.
It’s the latest version of motor/voter.
Thanks dims. Hope you like living in a third world hell hole that you made happen.
So close to the truth. Better hope they don’t read this John. You’ll give them ideas.

Close enough to the truth.
