Every step of the way he legitimizes illegals... in doing so he legitimizes himself.

Hey Obango!...How about a little “Basic Standard of Decency” for the American taxpayer who foots the bill and has to stand in line in emergency?....

Obama is taking us to economic suicide.

It's a deliberate looting of the nation's wealth. It is neccessary to usher in the urgency for Socialist solutions.

Look at any of the Communist revolutions.

Obama says we are our brother's keeper. Except Obama is keeping his brother in a lean-to shack in Africa.

It is the law. They can’t be turned away and their immigvration status can’t be checked.

***

As CURRENTLY written - but Obama is saying he would treat them under the new healthcare bill ...

FINE - just write a provision into the new bill that immigration status WILL be checked AND ICE WILL be called when status is illegal ...

The bill will state that ICE will THEN give the illegal a one-way ticket to paradise and a bag of peanuts for the trip ...

I agree. We have the responsibility to stabilize them then ship them out of the country.

I can’t renew my driver’s license until I prove that I owe no child support to anyone (never been married, never had kids) and I also cannot claim lottery ticket winnings without first settling any back due debt with the State.

How about checking for warrants on anyone going to a hospital on the public dime? They can still get free medical care. In jail.

Does that include spending $100,000 to help them to deliver aa new American citizen anchor baby?

We need to address this in the Constitution with an amendment.

The political lie/twist to this: he grants amnesty so there is no such thing as an illegal.....

***
United States Constitution, Article II, Section II:

” ... he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States ...”

He can pardon the offense, but NOT grant amnesty - NOT in the Constitution ...

How about BASIC STANDARDS OF THE CONSTITUTION have not been met by POTUS.

Okay, we can treat them, ICE takes them and forwards them back to their home country AFTER fingerprinting, photos, and DNA samples are taken.

THAT I can live with.

As I’ve said, I know it’s going to mean some Illegal Aliens DIE of illness or untreated disability when they get home, but that is not OUR problem. It’s their problem and the problem of their leadership. We do not owe anyone free medical care (0bamaCare either) just because they’re currently and/or illegally in the USofA.

Truman, Hoover, and Eisenhower DEPORTED Illegal Aliens AND Legal Immigrants to open up jobs for US CItizens. What is wrong with repeating that?

Nothing but a Liberal Socialist Marxist in the White House.

basic standard of decency

Now there's a statement. But it's ok to murder babies and backdoor the elderly in America. And then marginalize the disabled, the mentally handicapped, etc. Then tell the veterans if they're depressed, well kill yourself, I have come to the conclusion that these Dems are bonafide schizophrenics

I believe it’s the 17th Ammendment that they use against us. It basically addressed slaves and stated that they would receive citizenship. It says nothing about illegals but is used against us.

JUST as long as the hospital checks immigration status

How exactly would they do that?

hell no. Take one half of whatever you expect to pay in a year for healthcare for an illegal and offer it as a reward for people turning them in. Take the other half and use it to pay shipping costs to get their butts back where they came from.
Whatever that number is,instead of paying it over and over,year after year,you pay it once. Mandatory jailtime if they re enter. Have to do something with those camps they’re setting up for right wingers.

Treat them, then deport them.

No problem.

Oh, will that cause less of them to go to the emergency room unless it’s a real life/death emergency?

I fail to see the downside...

It allows them to be treated, but not treated for free. Bill them. If they don't pay in 30 days bill their nation of origin. If the nation of origin doesn't pay slap a tariff on imports from that country to pay for the expenses related to taking care of their citizens.

Same policy would apply to incarceration. An illegal immigrant from LowerSlavobia commits a crime in the US, LowerSlavobia gets the bill.
