ObamaCare: A memo acquired by Fox News says that President Obama is due any day now to announce amnesty for 4.5 million illegal aliens. But don't worry: They'll get health insurance. And U.S. taxpayers will pay for it.
One of the most costly elements of ObamaCare has been its massive expansion of Medicaid, the state-run health insurance program intended to cover poor families.
As reported by Breitbart's Big Government, a new study by the Center for Immigration Studies has found something shocking: Namely, that from 2011 through 2013, as ObamaCare was first being rolled out, 42% of all new Medicaid enrollees were immigrants.
Because illegal immigrants are poorer and less likely to have insurance than legal immigrants, it's a good bet that Obama's coming legalization of 4.5 million illegals will create an unparalleled surge in Medicaid spending as they sign up for benefits. That's especially true in a state like California, where an estimated 25% of all illegal immigrants in the U.S. live.
Democrats aren't going to fix this. You see, in ObamaCare, this isn't a "bug." It's a feature.
All along, the progressives behind ObamaCare have assumed that it would remake the U.S. into a welfare magnet —...

It is going to be the final nail in the coffin of ObamaCare too. Not a bad thing.
Welfare magnet? Hell, that’s Obama’s plan.
See how that works?
The danger here is we are already hearing how the feckless spineless GOP heads are ever so willing to bend over and take one as soon as January.
Yep, and the new Senate ML must be sure of it, the b*******.
Oui?
A SUPERCONDUCTING magnet that erases borders and overpowers opposition political parties and drains (and re-distributes) hard-earned resources.
Sadly.

It’s how empires fall.
England and France speak for themselves.
Well - Medicaid goes bankrupt next year ... so it’s time to start deciding who’s bills get paid ...
He's not very "neighborly" either ...
Well Blacks will seal their fates too if amnesty is passed because the Dems won’t have to kowtow to them anymore now that they have a brand new base of voters in these “new” citizens.
Seriously, can we put an end to this meme?
There are very very few people in the world, sitting in their little hovels, going ‘Gosh, I really wish I was in America sucking up all that great welfare benefits.’ I mean, I’m sure that there’s SOME somewhere who do this, but a pretty minimal number.
No, most of the soon to be not quite illegals will be sitting their in their hovel going ‘Why am I in a hovel, I could be in America...’
There’s little doubt that as a group, most illegals are hard working people who want to succeed in life, and success doesn’t come from a monthly check from the government. Now, their kids might have a different opinion, and indeed, that is one of the larger groups who suck up benefits, but those who come here illegally generally come to work, and work hard.
Illegals bring with them the entire crime organization of their home country, plus all the crime organizations developed to deliver them into the US. That includes slavery.
But the meme that they’re here for our benefits really needs to die.
Nope, we see the coming “leak” to the Lobby, of everyone’s tax information (Extortion-Care check box and thresholds), and the subsequent harassment...form letters, phone calls, visits, Arbeitsziehungslager, of everyone except the Exempt Ones.
We already are.
Yes, we already are.
The play is to come here illegally. Give birth to a US citizen and apply for welfare. As guardian/parent, they get the check. Illegals get welfare already.
No, I seriously don’t think we can put an end to this meme until those welfare benefits are denied to any and all that are in this country illegally.
Is that going to happen? I don’t think so.
Do you believe a welfare benefit of any kind should be afforded to an illegal alien?
Maybe I’m not too versed in how exactly the House and Senate works, but now that both have a Repub majority can’t they repeal this “Obamination” or will there not be enough votes due to the Democrats? I know I heard one Republican saying if they did take the Senate that repealing this would be the first order of biz, yet that was the last I heard of it.
Come And Get It: USDA Pushes Food Stamps To Illegals
Welfare: Not content with having more Americans on food stamps than people in Spain, the Obama administration is ringing the dinner bell for illegal aliens. We’ll feed you and not check your status. As we wrote last July, just as food stamp use has skyrocketed here under President Obama, so have marketing efforts to Hispanics under a partnership with Mexico. We dubbed the program “Fat and Furious” after the administration’s gun-running program that also seemingly had worthy goals but had unclear motives and pernicious effects. “USDA and the government of Mexico have entered into a partnership to help educate eligible...
