Collins and Murkowski dont want the future amnestized illegals to miss out on Obamacare.

[SaraJohnson]

LaRaza is a racist organization and does not speak for anyone except other brown racists. I don’t care what racists think about anything.

This sounds like pure political showboating by the Republicans on a completely bogus welfare issue.

Here in Washington state, Medicaid is available for ALL children, and no proof of legal residency is required.

So, the Republicans plan to take away Medicaid coverage from children AFTER Amnesty!

What Bull.

Pregnant women also receive full coverage, but I don't know if that's under Medicaid or some other program, again, no proof of residency required.

NO adults are eligible for Medicaid unless they are completely disabled - that includes native born and legal residents.

Here in Washington state, right now, ILLEGAL immigrants are eligible for every form of state and federal welfare.....

Food Stamps, heating assistance, 99 weeks of unemployment checks, Earned Income Tax Credit, subsidized rent, AFDC.

I'm not sure about in-state college tuition, maybe we don't have that, I forget.

None of those programs requires proof of legal residence!

So, illegal immigrants can get almost every form of welfare when they are illegal.

But Rand and Rubio are going to take all their welfare away after they are legal?

What bull!
