245 i is AN ACT OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ALL LEGAL IMMIGRANTS. I have one in my family. I know before she entered this country to marry my grandson, she had to (1) provide a police report from her home country showing she was a law-abiding citizen not wanted for any crime; (2) provide a physical examination proving she had no communicable disease or major health problem that would burden this country's health care services; and (3) provide a financial sponsor who would ensure she would NOT become a welfare user.
Compare this to the illegal who is allowed to become legal under 245i. No physical, no police report from the home country, and no financial sponsor. So this newly legalized resident could have tuberculosis which is not being treated, could be wanted for a felony in his home country and apply for welfare as soon as he has his green card!
Do you know that EMPLOYERS can sponsor an illegal for this change in status under 245I? So the same employers who have been using illegal aliens can now help them change their status? So we are not only rewarding illegals who enter our country and use fraudulent documents, we are rewarding employers who have been employing them!
If you think this has not affected you, ask yourself who do you think is using your local emergency room for free health care (paid by your taxes). All the illegally employed who do NOT have health insurance!!
We are denying our elderly a drug benefit on Medicare and ask them to pay an ever increasing premium, regardless of their income level, while we give free health care at our emergency rooms to illegals and our county runs "free clinics" for them (paid for by us taxpayers).
My husband's Blue Cross Senior Secure Plan requires him to pay $60 per drug ($60 for his BP med, $60 for his Lipitor) but we give medicine to illegals free.
Some country. Our President is nothing more than country club RINO. He claims to be a conservative but he is not. Conservatives obey and enforce the laws of our land. They do not undermine our Constitution. I am not impressed by his public prayers or his support of the military. He is doing little to provide security here at home! NO SECOND TERM!!
Do you listen to the Terry Anderson radio program? On a recent show, he was talking about how the cost of his elderly mother's medication was raised to $800 a month. The nurse who administered the medication came right out and told Terry that if his mother was an illegal alien, the medication would be free.
