Under the Gang of 8’s backroom immigration deal with Senators Schumer, Corker and Hoeven, formerly illegal immigrants who are amnestied will be eligible to work, but will not be eligible for ObamaCare. Employers who would be required to pay as much as a $3,000 penalty for most employees who receive an ObamaCare healthcare “exchange” subsidy, would not have to pay the penalty if they hire amnestied immigrants.
Consequently, employers would have a significant incentive to hire or retain amnestied immigrants, rather than current citizens, including those who have recently achieved citizenship via the current naturalization process.
The issue is really an “interaction effect” of the immigration proposal and ObamaCare itself.
Beginning in January, businesses with 50 or more full-time employees, that do not currently offer healthcare benefits that are considered “acceptable” by the Obama administration, must pay a penalty if at least one of their workers obtains insurance on a new government-run “exchange.” The penalty can be as much as $3,000 per employee.
Many employers have been preparing to cope with the new regulations by slashing the hours of full-timers to part-time status. Since “full-time,” in the language of ObamaCare, is averaging 30 hours per week, employers will, in general, receive the penalty if they have 50 or more employees who are working an average of 30 hours per week.
If the immigration bill becomes law, many employers could receive incentives of hundreds of thousands of dollars to hire amnestied immigrants over American citizens. In addition, these newly legalized immigrants could work “full-time,” an advantage for companies and businesses as well, while employers could lay off or diminish to “part-time” status, American workers.

I should have added that after they took us to the wood shed, they’d lock and load and then go hunting.
This is all such a shame.
We’ve known from the beginning that Rubio is nothing but an opportunist joke.
Cuba has more honest government than we do now.
wow.Just insane
Just another day, just another betrayal of the republic.
Cool! If I turn myself into a BP office claiming to be Jose Jimenez, I can get a car, a phone, an education, health care, housing and welfare?!? I really don’t want to actually work though so maybe I can have my friend, Joe American, work in my place and pay me 10% of his salary as a finders fee. Hmm, this could work!
Does it matter? Nappy already said DHS will decide what to enforce and what to ignore. Do you think Obama, who would be the biggest vote buyer in history, and his IRS would want his new Dem (or worse) voters to be unhappy?
I think Rush teased about this...relinquishing citizenship, going to Meheeco, then walking back across the southern border to get all of the freebies.
Frankly, I think the Lefties would like nothing more than for the "right-wing-nuts" to start shooting.
Of course they don’t. The Union bosses told them it would be good for them, and they agreed.
No shit, they know most regular citizens will not vote to give them power so they wanna import people from a third world where they gladly vote for tyrants in exchange for promises of trinkets and security...
THE ELITE IS PLANNING TO REPLACE US WITH BETTER “SUBJECTS”!!!!!
Thanks. Even if they did owe taxes, well, this is the new political IRS.
You nailed it!

Just more proof that those that believe and live like Americans, you are the enemy and you need to be dealt with. We are in a full swing to totalitarianism by the ruling class in this country. Reality does not matter to them, only the chance to obtain ultimate power.
It’s anti-minority!
Most unskilled jobs are held by minorities such as blacks.
This creates an incentive to fire blacks in favor of latinos.
Why should this nation court 10-20 million latinos when the unemployment rate among blacks is over 16%!
THAT is how you fight this bill!

Are there any men that will lead?
I can feel the breeze from the graves from here.
