The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, has paid out more than $750 million in taxpayer subsidies to more than half a million illegal immigrants and immigrants whose legal status was not verified, according to a new Senate report seen by Fox News.
As of June 2015, "the Administration awarded approximately $750 million in tax credits on behalf of individuals who were later determined to be ineligible because they failed to verify their citizenship, status as a national, or legal presence," said the report from Republicans on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, reported Fox News.
The report found that taxpayers helped pay for health insurance for more than 500,000 people who were either illegal immigrants or had failed to verify their citizenship or immigration status. The $750 million in questionable payments divided by the approximately 500,000 recipients comes to about $1,600 in premium tax credits per person, notes Breitbart.

I’m gettin’ on the gravy train.
If they print it, they will come.
Yep.
We need Trump to deport them. All others let them stay.
Trump’s the only one that will fix our illegal immigration problem. And Quickly!
Fraudulently documented foreigners are bleeding us dry.
The IRS sends them 4 billion dollars a year in child tax credits as well.
As long as the evil ‘successful’ Americans are made to pay ‘their fair share’ and are held accountable for all the oppression and poverty in the world, all is good and the sun is shining.. For too many in our society politics is about screwing someone else, and about some warped sense of ‘payback’. We were clearly once more divided, resulting in a civil war, but currently the degree of resentment and outright hatred in society is disturbingly high.

Donald Trump hired illegal immigrants to build his new luxury hotel because of course he did

Cruz has been against amnesty, hiring illegals, and has always supported enforcing our existing laws while Donald Trump has always skirted the law and supported the DUmocrats who ignore it.
Nor will Cruz stop the flood of Cubans across our Southern borders
>>Meanwhile, the needs of veterans are ignored.

Ignored or exploited?
The pharmasurance syndicate would have them medicated into oblivious cash cows... and then disarmed and precluded from being able to serve again.
And remember all those Ritalin kids?

They need not apply.
Amerika has “benefited” itself into the historical waste bin.
Bump.
Their number of 500K is hard to believe.
About 10 years ago, the agreed upon number of illegals in our country was 35-40 million. All of a sudden, that number became 11 million. That number is still used today with the additional 500K coming in. Add to that all the muslims that Obama is importing.
I would bet the number of illegals is just enough for the democrat candidate to win in November because they will all vote. And vote often.
i hate to see my fellow FReepers getting upset, including me!
we have 9 months left, not even a year, until we get OUR new leader.
let him and his fellow traitors have their fun and do their antics.
Fact is they tried desperately and failed to destroy the United States.
And We are gonna KICK @SS and TAKE NAMES!!!
and they’re voting too.
Don’t know about that; our exchange continually bugs us for immigration or citizenship documentation although we are natural born or citizens for decades. Must be a state by state vs. federal exchange thing.
The lawyers/career politicians from both parties economically gang banged America for decades with their destructive, lawless, violent chain immigration/open border policies. While forcing the tax payers to fork over hundreds of billions to subsidize it. Divide the united and make them pay for it.
America got hoodwinked and conned bad.
Go Trump.
Practicing my “shocked” face.
SNAP benefits are stored on the EBT card itself in California and most other states. How could someone have a separate “SNAP stored value card”? Making things up?
Although not having much in the way of fortune, myself, to contemplate one of Poe's nightmarish tales become our 'Fortunato's' final outcome, collectively, as a nation, is enough to drive a man to drinkin'...
But please. No cheap port. Just shoot me, instead. That way I can be justified in shooting back, and if I gotta' go, die with my boots on.
You may be right. I thought I remember articles back during the initial registration year (2013??) that noted the Govt wasn’t going to require proof, just say so and you get the subsidy. The objective was to get as many signed up as possible to reach their sign up targets. Perhaps you’re right, could be a state by state thing.
