Just Because You're Paranoid

This from Christina Bellantoni at TPM:

Lawmakers who want to extend health coverage to illegal immigrants will not block the passage of the final health care reform bill so long as the White House offers a substantive promise to start pushing comprehensive immigration legislation this year.

Democrats who want a comprehensive bill that reforms immigration law but also offers a pathway to citizenship have threatened to vote against health care if illegals aren’t included in the new system, making immigration one of the sticking points as Democratic leaders negotiate the final details.

Whether or not illegals are covered under HOPERcare is a complete dodge. For one, they can promise all they want that illegals will not be covered, but it means little when there is no means of verifying citizenship in the bill, nor is there any mention of a penalty should an illegal make the attempt. As a matter of fact, the Dems have repeatedly shot down amendments to these various HOPERcare bills that WOULD include some form of ID check.

It doesn’t matter, though, since the Dem’s goal is to grant Amnesty to all the illegal immigrants. What does it matter if the bill says “Why, no! No illegal can participate!” if there ARE no illegals anymore? I assume hobgoblins and Klingons are not allowed in this either; shall we put that in the bill too?

Of course they’re going to make a sneak-run for this. When Amnesty reared its ugly head a couple of years ago, We The People made it abundantly clear that there would be hell to pay. 70% of Americans were vehemently against it. As best as I can tell, the majority of Americans are STILL against the idea of rewarding criminals, and make no mistake: that is exactly what this is.

A big reason our medical system, from the insurance companies to the emergency rooms, are in such a mess is because illegal aliens are allowed to take advantage of our services, then skip out on the bill. Those costs must be made up somewhere, and it is those of us who DO pay for services who suffer, as those costs are reflected in what the rest of us must pay, both in the cost of the services and with out tax dollars. There are hospitals across the land that are dangerously in the red right now because of these “dine-and-dash” leeches.

But the Dems are desperate to stay in power. They have their agenda to push, and this is the only way they can do it. They know that their actions over the past few years has left a foul taste, and they are in danger of losing their jobs. The logical solution would be to quit trying to ram such unpopular bills down our throats, but logic is hardly something the Left is familiar with. No, instead of representing the will of the people, commonly referred to as THEIR JOB, they want to grant Amnesty, and thus the ability to vote, to a group that tends to vote Democrat by no less than 60%. This gains them several million additional votes, which goes a long way towards replacing the votes they’ve lost by their actions.
