Granny, from the article:

Republicans Require Health Insurance for Immigrants Only

This month, Congress will consider an immigration reform bill introduced by Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Jon Kyl (R-AZ). A component of the bill would require employers to provide health insurance to all workers who are registered immigrants. To be sure, immigrants who lawfully enter the country to work, and who pay taxes, should have access to health insurance. But this bill is poorly reasoned and has the potential to create tremendous problems.

Although the bill will mandate that employers provide health insurance coverage to immigrants, this is a luxury that no American enjoys. Employers are not required to provide health insurance to citizens.
--
The immigration reform bill, by mandating that employers provide health insurance to their immigrant workers, would have a disastrous effect on American workers.

Some employers, perhaps even many, would simply discontinue providing health insurance benefits to its workers who are citizens.

This would be the easiest way for employers to offset health care costs.

Where's Indie? After reading this, maybe I should leave TM, my blood pressure seems to be elevated again. Granny, this is from your link and clearly states the intentions of our elected officials .

Rightwing Senator Seeks Wealth Transfer from U.S. to Mexico

A right-wing Republican wants to implement a Marxist-style plan to transfer wealth from American taxpayers, sending it south of the border "to reduce the wealth gap" between the U.S. and Mexico.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-TX, has introduced legislation to make grants of U.S. tax dollars for roads, telecommunications facilities, and education programs in Mexico. The bill, S. 2941, parallels plans developed by the influential Council on Foreign Relations to integrate the populations and economies of the two countries with Canada in a "North American Community."

The CFR plan, reported last month..."

--

Cornyn, who was attorney general of Texas when George W. Bush was governor, is a close political associate of the president. He is a long-time Republican and boasts formidable conservative credentials,..."

--

The stated purpose of Cornyn's wealth-transfer legislation is to "promote economic and infrastructure integration" with Mexico and Canada, "promote education and economic development in Mexico," and "to reduce the wealth gap between Mexico and Canada, and between Mexico and the United States."

--

Besides integrating the economy of Mexico with the U.S.,

the CFR's plan also calls for eliminating border controls between Mexico and the U.S., and merging the two countries with Canada into what it calls a "security perimeter"

within which populations of the three countries could move about freely without border scrutiny.

The purpose is to create a "seamless North American market" for transnational corporations, guaranteeing what the CFR calls "the extension of full labor mobility to Mexico."
