Update: Video added: Lyin Eyes, Wilson had it right: TOTUS plans amnesty…
Update: Video added, courtesy of HotAir:
So we have amended the health care bill to verify citizenship and now TOTUS is planning a giant amnesty to cover everyone anyway. Ed at HotAir has the scoop, courtesy of Stephen Dinnan of the Washington Times:
No, they’re not going to beef up enforcement or require identification before receiving subsidies and services. They’re just going to offer amnesty so that no one’s illegal anymore:
President Obama said this week that his health care plan won’t cover illegal immigrants, but argued that’s all the more reason to legalize them and ensure they eventually do get coverage.
He also staked out a position that anyone in the country legally should be covered – a major break with the 1996 welfare reform bill, which limited most federal public assistance programs only to citizens and longtime immigrants.
One more time he is undoing all the welfare reforms Big Dawg put in:
“Even though I do not believe we can extend coverage to those who are here illegally, I also don’t simply believe we can simply ignore the fact that our immigration system is broken,” Mr. Obama said Wednesday evening in a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. “That’s why I strongly support making sure folks who are here legally have access to affordable, quality health insurance under this plan, just like everybody else.
