California senator unveils bill to give health care to undocumented immigrants
Sacramento Bee ^ | Feb. 14, 2014 | Laurel Rosenhall

A plan to provide undocumented immigrants in California access to subsidized health care has been spelled out in Senate Bill 1005 by Sen. Ricardo Lara, a Democrat from Bell Gardens.

Undocumented immigrants are excluded from the federal Affordable Care Act that is offering legal residents the ability to purchase health insurance through government-run marketplaces.

Lara’s bill would create two avenues for Californians who are in the country illegally to seek health care. The state would expand Medi-Cal to include undocumented immigrants whose incomes are under 138 percent of the poverty level – about $32,000 a year for a family of four. And for undocumented immigrants who make more than that, the state would create a marketplace to sell insurance products.

The current policy of non-enforcement provides cheap labor to satisfy business interests and safe-haven for those seeking wages to satisfy bleeding heart interests. It only gets sticky when libs demand that the law-breakers be allowed to vote and take money from taxpayers.

I suppose the libs know that enforcing the border would hurt business and that’s why they’re pushing the issue to obtain voting privileges and handouts (i.e., democrat registration) for the criminals: they know that the Repubs don’t really want to seal the border because it will hurt the economy. Dems want socialism so a successful economy is irrelevant to them.

“When a black, a latino or any other minority in government places their racial or ethnic identity above their identity as Americans, and above their oath of office to protect and defend the US Constitution, they should be driven out of public office and imprisoned as traitors.”

True, but “should” is not the same as “must”.

I’ve reached the conclusion that diversity and multiculturalism are simply codewords for anti-white. I find it impossible to believe other cultures or races will afford us the same tolerance and acceptance should they ever become the majority. Nevertheless, that doesn’t stop white liberals from voting for their own financial ruin and cultural destruction.

We already have ample proof that they do not.

Just look at the racist policies of the Obama administration.
Especially the open pro-black, anti-white bias of Eric Holder and the Justice department.

How about giving free healthcare insurance to people who worked hard their entire lives to pay into a corrupt system, and now are left to their own devices in a country that has no jobs for men over 50? eh? more reason for that than for illegals.

We can’t afford to send them back but we can give them healthcare? Liberal logic.
