Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez appeared on "Fox News Sunday." During the discussion with Chris Wallace, the issue of providing health care to illegal aliens came up.
"Every person on that stage – all 10 of them – said that they would provide health insurance coverage for people in this country illegally, either under Obamacare or Medicare For All, whichever they supported," Wallace said. "No talk about preexisting conditions, you gotta be working in this country. No talk about you gotta be paying in taxes. The basic point was that you're in this country legally or illegally, you get health insurance coverage."
Naturally, Perez defended Democrats' position.
"And it's an insurance program, so you've got to pay into it. As you know, immigrants, including undocumented immigrants, pay billions of dollars in taxes and that's the reality," Perez explained. "What Democrats also said, Chris, which is far different than Republicans, is that if you have a preexisting condition you should be able to keep your coverage. Democrats believe health care should be available. Affordable, quality health care should be available to everyone. And, thanks to Obama, thanks to LBJ, Medicare and Medicaid, we're 90 percent of the way there."

Democrats wonder why people are flocking to our southern border in droves. Democrats wonder what could possibly be so terrible in Central America that caravans full of people are arriving in the United States. It's not because all of them are asylum seekers who fear for their lives. Yes, there are some very legitimate cases. Most, however, are not seeking asylum. They're coming to America because they know that once they get into the United States they have access to social welfare programs. Need food? There's food stamps and WIC. Need housing? HUD will get you taken care of. Can't afford health insurance? The government's got you covered with Medicaid.
As Democrats talk about expanding even more social programs for illegal aliens, don't be surprised if Border Patrol's apprehensions along the southern border continue to break record levels. Democrats are literally encouraging the rest of the world to come to America, where we can take care of them from the moment they arrive.
I'd rather get a root canal...
I think WIllie Brown would agree, Kamala Harris did it better.
[including undocumented immigrants, pay billions of dollars in taxes and that’s the reality,” Perez explained]
They’re in the country illegally, Perez, taking jobs away from American citizens.
So you support TWO crimes, Perez. And HOW did they get a Social Security Number?
So that’s THREE CRIMES, Democrat Perez.
Fantastic comments.
How can that out of control freak Perez answer your comments? “We are able to just ignore the law”?
i would provide any emergency care required as a humanitarian measure (i realize not everyone will agree, please don’t flame me for this).....and fortunately the vast majority won’t require it...............
and then give them one more, last freebie.....return them to their own countries forthwith!
with instruction never ever to try to sneak into USA illegally again
Obamacare fines you for not buying health insurance, then forces you to pay for health care for illegals.
I can’t believe ANY American citizen, working OR unemployed would ever vote for a Democrat.
It just boggles the mind how anyone can be that stupid.
You all dems elected this mooselimb and financially he is pathetic for you.
Stoopids.
The uneducated in high positions, dangerous
Agree. I now do not tolerate even one Dem, nice guy that I am. I refuse to deal with them (except cashiers,burger flippers, guy who picks up the trash outside, etc.).
Liberal I N S A N I T Y !!!!
IF there was ever any doubt all these mentally retarded azz clowns are bat shite crazy, they should be erased by now.
Everything rats say sounds crazy to me. But i cant believe rats must worry what thwy say sounds crazy to middle of the roaders. I xan only think they have enough votes to not worry about this
And not once did Chris Wallace challenge this asshat on his comment about Trump putting kids in cages. Didn’t bring up Obamy doing the SAME DAMN THING. Not once!
Chris Wallace is a total ass.

Imagine one of the 20 from the clown car representing our great nation in the same manner in which PDJT did, just in the last few days. So proud of what he did.
Took courage to ditch the SS for a little stroll into North Korea. Can you imagine how he felt at that moment. And to think they gave the Magic one a Nobel peach prize 30 seconds into the “one’s” presidency. Total hypocrisy.
