The state Senate on Tuesday approved a hotly debated measure that would allow many immigrants in the state illegally to sign up for special healthcare programs that would offer the same benefits as Medi-Cal.

State Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) said his proposal provides “what we can realistically achieve now” for the estimated 2 million people in the state illegally.

“We are talking about our friends. We are talking about our neighbors and our families who are denied basic healthcare in the richest state of this union,” Lara told his colleagues.

Tyranny.

Kiss California good bye. It was a beautiful state, now totally ruined by Democrats.

You know, I have been listening a lot lately to Ann Coulter, pushing her new book. But, think for a second. All of these immigrants could be working to improve their home cesspools, er, countries. By giving them freebies like this, liberals are creating disincentives for improving the part of the world that is not-America. And the kicker is, we don't have the money to be doing it in either case.

Richest my ass. Look at what we owe down the years and we are in greater debt than most countries.

They are out of their minds.

Good. Hope all the illegals know where to go then.

[manc]

imagine how much more water CA would have if 2 millions illegals were no there. Imagine 2 million illegals not there and the roads were not as clogged up in places, crime, land, starter jobs etc?

I heard her pushing her book on Hannity, but I had to turn it off

I used to like listening to her, but after she shilled for Romney in the 2012 presidential primary by attacking conservatives, I can’t stand her.

We had bonafied conservatives running and she supported a RINO.

Today we have Obama still there because in much part to her.

So she can take her book and shove it up her anorexic liberal bedding ass.

Michelle Malkin beat Coulter to the punch by thirteen years with Invasion.

Richest state? MORON- CALIFORNIA IS F’N BROKE!!

[Don Corleone]

in the richest state of this union,

Outright LIE! California is bankrupt!!!!

State Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens)

Wait until they take your job Senator.

‘Democrat Voter Recruitment Program’

[CivilWarBrewing]

ANYONE in gov't who acts to provide ILLEGAL aliens services or money SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR AIDING AND ABETTING CRIMINALS.

Take all the Hispanic gov't officials and throw them in jail. They are working on behalf of Mexico, not the United States. Start with that Lara traitor.

All these politicians are more worried about catering to foreigners and forcing American citizens to pay for it. And somehow these citizens keep voting for them.

“State Senate OKs health coverage for many immigrants here illegally”

Holy cow.

The los angeles times used the word “illegally” instead of undocumented.

[lowbridge]

“We are talking about our neighbors and our families who are denied basic healthcare in the richest state of this union,” 

Keep it up with legislation like this and soon you’ll be the poorest state.

[eyeamok]

2 million people in the state illegally.”

Not a Chance, there are more than that in Los Angeles alone.

Remember when the Liar in Chief promised in his health care address on Sept. 9, 2009, that illegals absolutely would not be covered by Obamacare? Joe Wilson (R-SC), the only non-sheep member in the gallery, shouted, “You lie!” Of course, the Democrat media had a cow, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid had the vapors, and even the chicken **** Republicans clucked that Wilson had no business disturbing the slumber of the assembled sheep.

And Joe Wilson was right. Who will line up and apologize to him???(crickets)
