RE : “DeMint Amdt. No. 1197; To require health care coverage for holders of Z nonimmigrant visas”

This should have been passed. It would even the playing field for american workers paying the taxes to pay for these Zs healthcare.

It’s an insult to compete with someone (who came here illegal) who you are paying taxes for their healthcare. Besides, don’t democrats call job employer mandates ‘love’? How did they not vote for this?
