DNC Chair Perez Defends Health Care for Illegal Immigrants: ‘This Is Not a Handout’
Breitbart ^ | 0 June 2019 | Pam Key

Posted on 06/30/2019 9:04:05 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez defended the proposal of health care for immigrants who entered the United States illegally.

Thursday at the Democratic debate all ten candidates raised their hands when asked if they support health care for undocumented immigrants.

Perez said, “It’s an insurance program, so you got to pay into it. Immigrants, including undocumented immigrants, pay billions of dollars in taxes. That is the reality.”

He continued, “Democrats believe that you should be able to buy into a health insurance system. It is not a handout.”

He added, “I live in a community right now where if you are a pregnant woman and you are undocumented, we provide you with access to health care because we believe that having good prenatal care is an essential health care issue an essential issue of economics and frankly an essential issue of morality. The party of Lincoln is dead, and one of the things that died with it is compassion, and this is not a handout. again, this is allowing people to buy into an insurance program, people who pay billions of dollars in taxes.”

‘This Is Not a Handout’

O-h-h-h that reminds me of an old song I heard fifty years ago on DIXIE Records. Can’t print all the words but some of them are..

“Jut looking for a handout!
Yeah for something free.”

And that is all I am going to say about “that” song, and I absolutely will not mention the flip side, about a certain Cajun organization.

"...It is not a handout.”

Translation from DemoLieSpeak:

It's a handout.

“”This guy thinks we are all stupid and we will believe all the nonsense he is telling us.””

BILLIONS? Not only that - he’s saying something that no one running in this pack of thieves is saying! Not one person has mentioned they are going to BUY insurance. He’s just flat out lying. What is “government-provided health insurance” if not FREE? He not only looks like a weasel, he is a weasel. Is that the best the DNC can do? Can he tell us HOW they will BUY it?

“”All 10 Democratic candidates on stage Thursday night said they supported government-provided health insurance for illegal immigrants””

“”Instead of providing ‘free’ health care to illegal aliens, we should be sending the bills to their home countries. “”

I believe that is something that CA tried years ago. Reimburse us for everything we spend on illegals from Mexico; medical care, education etc. Don’t ask me how it turned out! You know the answer. A big fat ZERO! I think if IRC, they even tried taking it from the remittances sent to Mexico from the illegals. Same result!

Here’s my plan for medical care for an ‘illegal’ (should be called ‘criminal’, as people who commit a crimes are not ‘illegals’ they are properly speaking, ‘criminals’) alien:

Stabilize and deport to their country of origin.

No deposit, no return.

Perez is nuts. The criminal aliens already have healthcare and our tax dollars are already paying for it. Doubt me? Just visit any emergency room.

Free health care is no health care at all.

Doesn’t cost you a thing.

Being lectured by the likes of Perez on morality...that's rich!
