Obama: Legalize illegals to get them health care
washingtontimes.com ^ | 9/18/09 | Stephen Dinan

President Obama said this week that his health care plan won't cover illegal immigrants, but argued that's all the more reason to legalize them and ensure they eventually do get coverage.

He also staked out a position that anyone in the country legally should be covered - a major break with the 1996 welfare reform bill, which limited most federal public assistance programs only to citizens and longtime immigrants.

Obama won’t be satisfied until he turns the United States of America into a third-world hellhole.

If Obama and the Rats are really dumb enough to push amnesty in this political climate, it will be the final nail in their coffin for 2010 and 2012. They will lose the 2010 election in a historic landslide if they push amnesty.

Hussein's throwing a one-two punch in an effort to destroy America --- (1) socialized medicine, and, (2)amnesty. ...and he's doing it with a Dem congressional supermajority behind him.

PASTE THIS ON YOUR BATHROOM MIRROR AND MEMORIZE IT: "Medicine is the keystone of the arch of the socialist state.” Vladimir Lenin.

Once govt gets control of medical care, all the defining, controlling features of socialist govt can be introduced, one by one. Obama’s got BIG plans, much BIGGER PLANS. Say goodbye to the US way of life. “

What was one of the first things that Hezbollah took over in Lebanon? The hospitals.

Before the insurgency was crushed by the surge in 2007, what were the Sadrists trying to take over in Baghdad? The hospitals.

Control health care, and you control the population.

Well, “The Plan” has finally been outed. Obama and the Democrats are going to buy 12,000,000 new voters with our tax money to make up for all the voters they’ve lost now that his plan to turn the U.S. into a socialistic society has become evident to many more people. This is the real reason the Dems caved on illegal aliens being covered by socialized health care, namely, now it’s going to become their new cry for converting the 12,000,000 illegal aliens into citizens so they’re eligible for socialized health care.

If Obama pulls this off, our country is doomed as a bastion of free enterprise, innovation, increasing productivity and ever-increasing wealth, as we sink into the mediocrity and stagnancy of socialism and statism that has infected Europe.

We can only pray that Fox will cover this, because no one else will.

I remember the post from freerepublic.com the other day that said this:

“If Obamacare passes, which I believe it will, expect Obama to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. It is part of the “deal” and Democrats that haven’t figured that out yet soon will. Expect Obama, Pelosi and Reid to push legislation for a fast track to citizenship, otherwise known as greasing the rails to the voting booth. It will pass because without it Democrats can kiss Congress goodbye. Expect federal funding of a massive voter registration drive to make sure these “new citizens” are not deprived of their right to vote, beginning in November, 2010. If the Democrats have done their homework, the numbers will break their way. If the main stream media provides the expected support, the swing voters will fall their way.”

"Communists and socialists have never been closer to taking over the United States and they know this is no time for timidity. Ignoring popular opinion is part of the game plan, as is marginalizing any opposition. It worked for three massive spending bills and it will work again. Some Democrats may lose their seats, but taking a hit for the party is a call to duty they will answer. Besides, as long as they control Congress post 2010, Democrats will control redistricting as a consequence of the census and the lost seats may be regained in 2012.”

You all need to relax a bit on this one. What’s even more unpopular than healthcare reform w/ the American public? If you answered immigration reform then youd be right on the $$$. LOL, I just hope the dems and RINOs put the full court press on for this one. It will be the end of them forever! The added benefit is it would take the RINOs down too.

This has nothing to do with proper health care and has everything to do with trying to buy votes.

I am hoping, possibly (probably) naively though that this could backfire in the American Hispanic community. I know many Colombians and Mexicans who came to the United States because they got tired of their families getting hassled by leftist guerrilla groups and constant gang warfare. If they are worried this will happen in the US, they won’t be happy. I think. I hope. Because if this doesn’t get stopped, we’re in trouble.

Peloshi Galore is left wing whining drama queen.

Where were her tears when her gay community thugs commited acts of violence against churches and individuals after we passed prop 8.

The problem for those people who come here seeking a geographical cure they bring themselves with them. Doing the same things here and expecting a different outcome as you know is insanity IE leftist guerrilla groups and constant gang warfare and all that goes with it are now part of every day in Houston, TX and many others and soon to come to a neighborhood near you!

Give her a break, it's hard to come up with tears that often when you've had that much plastic surgery.

Seriously, though, in my line of work I meet many immigrants, illegals or former illegals. The ones I've met who got amnesty from the 80's still don't speak English. The ones who waited in line generally learn English and become middle class. The last amnesty created a new section of permanent underclass. The next amnesty will expand it.

From the Washington Article...
“Even though I do not believe we can extend coverage to those who are here illegally, I also don’t simply believe we can simply ignore the fact that our immigration system is broken,” Mr. Obama said Wednesday evening in a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. “That’s why I strongly support making sure folks who are here legally have access to affordable, quality health insurance under this plan, just like everybody else.”

Didcha get that??? We are not talking about healthcare here folks. He admits that the “immigration system is broken”. It is not going to be the already 20,000,000 guessed to be here illegally. By not offering a solution to something he admits is broken, he intends to keep it broken, the faucet will stay wide open. That is what he is telling the caucus members. It is and will continue to be an open faucet to let in millions upon tens of millions more, until there is enough to sink the good ship.
