President Barack Obama told Americans Friday that federal aid is reserved for citizens, even though his deputies have drafted complex regulations to give taxpayer-funded Obamacare subsidies to foreign students and to millions of guest workers.
He made the misleading claim during a televised roundtable at the second stop of his two-day, two-state tour promoting more aid to students.
“Obviously, when it come to federal grants, loans, support, subsidies, that we provide, those are for our citizens,” Obama told a student questioner from the friendly audience of college professors, administrators and students at the Binghamton University in New York.
“You know, a lot of Americans are having a tough time affording college, as we talked about, so we can’t spread it too thin,” he told the Turkish student, who was asking for aid.
A 1996 law bars foreigners and recent immigrants for most means-tested products.
But the Obamacare system will provide valuable health-care subsidies to many student-workers and foreign guest workers hired for jobs in America.
The costs of this Obamacare subsidy will likely escalate if Washington rewrites current immigration law, because leading House bills would double the inflow of foreign blue-collar workers, professionals, students and agriculture guest workers.
“Most Americans … don’t want their tax dollars subsidizing health insurance premiums for anyone just visiting, studying or temporarily working in our country,” Rep. Jim Gerlach said in a statement to The Daily Caller....

Yet another one of the dozens of lies told about Obamacare by the Liar-in-Chief.
It will cost more for lower quality health care. But at least the Marxist control freaks will be gratified.
Didn’t Max Bacus admit to writing obamacare legislation? Obviously he didn’t whip this up himself, but I wonder who actually put all this crap in this legislation which was unknown until after it was passed into law?
Pelosi knew.
Anyone who thought ObamaCare would exclude Illegal Aliens...probably also thought there were unicorns and pots of gold at end of rainbows
Illegal Aliens will get ObamaCare....and before Liberal RINO GOP give Amnesty to Illegal Aliens
Raise your hand if you think reform will ever emerge from Washington, DC.
I believe that if one were to do a word search on the entire Affordable Health Care Act, he/she would find that the instances of “....at the discretion of....” are legion.
IOW, they can make this sh!t up as they go along whenever they want.
I searched H.R. 3962 and found a couple dozen instances in the 1990 pages. Most were “at the discretion of the Secretary...” instances....pretty much carte blanche for the HHS secretary...
“He made the misleading claim during a televised roundtable at the second stop of his two-day, two-state tour promoting more aid to students. “
He never “misleads”. He ONLT LIES. Stop with the pc garbage.
much better...
Think Obama will cut off American citizens from Obamacare and regulate it to illegals.Obama’s time is spent like he represents the illegals a lot more than he does Americans.Once in awhile he will show some interest in Americas,but it always comes back to include illegals.All we are good for is paying our taxes.
We will probably find out that the bill has Obama as Dictator-for-Life hidden in it somewhere.
The Law is Illegitimate. Just like this administration.
