White House vows executive action on immigration reform after election
Youth from United We Dream chant slogans calling for an end to deportations outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) offices in downtown Phoenix. Top Hispanic leaders asked President Obama last week to grant some illegal immigrants access to Obamacare
Top Hispanic leaders asked President Obama last week to grant some illegal immigrants access to Obamacare, saying the “dreamers” to whom the White House has given tentative work permits are already paying taxes, so they deserve government benefits.
The request is yet another complication stemming from the legal limbo Mr. Obama created for the dreamers, hundreds of thousands of young adults to whom the president gave a tentative legal status in 2012, but who were brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents as minors and thus remain illegal immigrants.
Under government policy, illegal immigrants are barred from buying insurance on Obamacare’s exchanges, and about half the states also prohibit them from getting Medicaid benefits. But the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda said those whom Mr. Obama has freed from the danger of deportation should be considered “lawfully present for all purposes, including eligibility for public benefits and affordable health care.”
“NHLA asks that you apply the fairness and equality that your Administration has shown in various other areas in the health care context and ensure that no one — regardless of their immigration status — lacks access to critical health care services,” Hispanic leaders said in their letter.
Nearly 600,000 illegal immigrants had been approved for tentative legal status under what the administration labeled Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Their status means they cannot be deported for two years from the time of their approval, and they can apply to renew that status every two years.

Oh please...not while I’m only on my second cup of coffee.
The illegals want their FREE LUNCH.
Can I go to Mexico and claim property?
Living in the shadows I see.
Theoretically, they are paying taxes. Most won't file and even those who do won't be paying much, if anything. And they will be eligible for a whole host of benefits meaning that its a net cash positive for them. So the whole idea that these people pay taxes so they should be eligible for benefits is a fraud. And its just as unsustainable as the large segment of US citizens who pay little or no taxes and get benefits. We are in the death throes of the Welfare State already with our unsustainable levels of benefits and this is just piling on.
Not ObamaCare, they want Medicaid. Let’s be real here.
Now the rest of you, get back to work. You have illegals to school and support.
Right now, Obama is in the process of giving tens of thousands of loyal, patriotic military members literal ink slips, sometimes they receive the notification when they are in combat zones.
The military has received meager pay raises these last few years, huge Obama cuts on top of the Sequestration cuts have left the military in dire straights, and facing even more devastation in the future.
Yet, Obama did this:
Give it to them. the H1B doctors will kill a few off with 3rd world care and the rest will fear for their own lives and go home, seeing it as a racist genocidal plot.
H1Bs actual Americans all the time so it’s not racist.
Next, they’ll be blackmailing our cowardly politicians for free SUVs to haul their dozens of relatives into the country. When the Liar in Chief told Congress in his State of the Union Address in ‘09 that illegals would not be covered by ObamaCare, Congressman Joe Wilson shouted, “You lie!? He was roundly condemned by the Democrat media and not defended by any Republican quislings for being the only one who told the truth that night.
Let’s demand an apology of all those writers, and Obama, because in CA, Spanish media were telling Mexicans they could sign up last October, and no checking for citizenship was required.
Time for the gringo taxpayers to open their wallets! If these “dreamers” hadn’t been brought to this “rasis” country “through no fault of their own”, they’d have all kinds of free healthcare south of the border.

Obama also said in that same 38 second clip that "no Federal dollars will be used to fund abortions."
We are in dark days - days of deception and evil.
We must look to God. It is the only way.
"The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. "
Psalm 12:8
This is the way it’s done in Mexico.
If you are weak enough to give in...you deserve to lose the money.
They will do this only as long as they think the gringo feels guilty and will hand over the cash.
and they want it free, right?
Why are those two complaining? It looks like their Tranny surgery was a success.
Aren’t the new Obamacare rates coming out in November, AFTER the election? Gotta cover all the illegals plus the ebola victims.
Can’t wait. Will anyone be able to afford health insurance?
they never read the memo , Obamacare is for everyone in the World
So they cannot BUY health insurance, but they can show up at the hospital and receive FREE HEALTH CARE. What are they complaining about?
I wonder if the Mexican drug cartels have considered opening hospitals?
Since US hospitals get away with charging hundreds of dollars for single tabs of Tylenol, you would think that other criminal organizations would want to get a piece of that pie.
