Obama: Legalize illegals to get them health care

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.

"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..

So when the President says his plan does not cover illegals, he simply means he will make them legal.

And when the president says he will not sign a bill that will add one dime to the deficit, it just means he is spending in pesos....

Offering the finest health care in the world for free will be a powerful incentive for people to come to this country, legally or illegally, and will greatly increase the amount of immigration. Furthermore, it will increase immigration by the old, the infirm and the unproductive. It is a recipe for bankrupcy (one of many in Barack Obama’s Economic Cookbook).

Following OZero’s logic is like tracking a leaking septic tank pump truck, you know it will be more fecal when you get to the leaking truck.

This guy has so expanded on the Clinton use of the definition of “is” to be the all time liar in chief.

This fetish for Illegal Aliens, from both parties, makes me sick...

I just wonder if we will get the same support from talk radio hosts the next time they try to pass Illegal Alien Amnesty. There were no national talk radio hosts at the recent FAIR “Feet to the Fire” event earlier this week (correct me if I am wrong)....and the total smiting of the Obama Birth issue supporters. Just wonder if people like Rush, Beck, Hannity. and others, will go soft on Illegals like they have done on the Obama Birth issue

I guess the Big 0 has a soft spot in his heart for undocumented recipients of a government handout.

Oh wait, isn't he one himself?

Don't worry. If we get government health care, it will no longer be the finest...

I also don't simply believe we can simply ignore the fact that our immigration system is broken," Mr. Obama said

I agree that it's broken. Enforcing the law is the only way to fix it.

They are illegals obama, not US Citizens. They are not your responsibility, we are. Quit being so damned socialist, worrying about everyone else, sending flu vaccine overseas, etc.

Worst President ever, and he just keeps digging himself in deeper.

NO OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD gives away what we give away. There is NOTHING wrong with being SELFISH about our product in this country. That is what gives us PRIDE.

I was able to attend a workshop in DC last Friday hosted by Ayn Rand Center and CEI (sorry, can’t remember the full name of the institute). Pride in our work and being selfish about our gain is what makes capitalism work. The dragging down of those who do work to redistribute their gain to those who won’t work is not good!

Actually, they are his responsibility. He is responsible for having them apprehended, deported and securing our borders from illegal entry.
