Health Care Reform Legislation Becomes Vehicle for Reshaping Immigration Policy .Weak Verification and Loosening of Welfare Reform Rules Alter Longstanding System of Enforcement and Incentives

WASHINGTON, .PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Current versions of both the House and Senate health care reform bills contain inadequate verification measures that will fail to prevent millions of illegal aliens from accessing taxpayer funded health benefits, charges the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). And in a radical change from current law, both versions of the bill grant immediate health care benefits to immigrants currently subject to a 5-year waiting period before they may access most federal benefits.

FAIR has pledged to try to block these proposals: "If powerful special interests prevail, the final version of a health care reform bill will have been used to transform immigration policies as aggressively as it was used to transform the U.S. health care system itself," says Dan Stein, President of FAIR.

FAIR states that narrow special interests such as the National Council of La Raza and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus have been pushing hard to include sweeping changes to immigration policy within the health care reform bill - no limits to eligibility and immediate access for everyone regardless of status.

Govt Health Care will expand the control of Government over our lives in the same way that the Commerce Clause has for trade.

Everything will be revisited thru this so that the Left can work it like a tool for their agenda.

ANOTHER GEM FOR THE MARXISTS IN THE WH: "Medicine is the keystone of the arch of the socialist state,” wrote Vladimir Lenin. Once govt gets control of medical care, all the defining, controlling features of socialist govt can be introduced by stealth, one by one. Everything we Americans do is connected in some way to our health (the WH politburo knows that and will act on it).

POINTS TO PONDER Polling data confirms: Pols who support imposing a fee on Americans who don’t sign up for ObamaCare are performing the political equivalent of swallowing a time-release poison capsule.........How ’bout that America? ObamaCare Death Panels working just the opposite way Ohaha intended.......ridding the country of pols instead of grannies.

You just wait some moderate is going to show up and blame Ronald Reagan for the legislation he signed. The problem in the US today is there is no one in elected office that can or will take responsibility for their own actions.

And why should these that get elected take responsibility, they know they represent the majority of Americans who think just like they do.
