Pete Buttigieg Vows to Open up Obamacare to Illegal Immigrants
Breitbart ^ | February 17, 2020 | CHARLIE SPIERING1

Posted on 02/17/2020 7:53:07 AM PST by Hojczyk

The former South Bend Mayor told the illegal immigrant he viewed her as an American, despite her illegal status.

“So, first of all, this should go without saying but it’s important to say out loud that I regard you and all DACA recipients as American as I am or anybody else is in this room,” he said.

In December, Buttigieg also expressed his desire that he would open up taxpayer-funded healthcare to illegals during a conversation with a voter in Spanish.

“So the most important thing for me is that we offer the opportunity for health care to all in our country, and this includes the opportunity to buy this plan of Medicare-for-All-who-want-it,” he said, according to a translation of his remarks.

“That is our solution. And this opportunity to buy this plan is for everyone regardless of their immigration status.”

Why not non-immigrants as well?

My daughter is a doctor at Parkland in Dallas, TX.

According to her, people in Central America with devastating illnesses - think cancers, heart failure, organ transplants- are told by doctors in their home country, “get to Parkland in Dallas. They will take care of you.” She says she has heard this story hundreds of times.

As a result, these people are risking their lives to transverse miles of hostle terrain - for a chance of life.

In addition, the ones that make it there, and there are a lot of them, come with massive needs. They are expensive to provide care for.

On the one hand, I feel for them. Who wouldn’t want the best care for their loved one. On the other hand, what happens when the well runs dry?

It’s hard to figure out which of these losers are pandering the most.

I don’t want Government in the bedroom. What’s unseen is best left unseen. And I will let God pass judgement on man sleeping with man.

Further, that means I don’t want to see two dudes kissing on stage at rallies or holding hands at official functions, and I sure as heck don’t want a Dude and a First Dude in the White House!

Which is one of my proposals is to basically colonize Central America and build up their infrastructure. Should have done it before, say what you will about Puerto Rico, but even they are light years ahead of most of Latin America.

Yes it costs, but we’re already paying through the nose now. Might as well make those countries desirable places to live, so they won’t feel compelled to come here.

I will assume that because the majority of voters (polls) say they are against such a proposition.

Imho the best solution for this situation would be to allow Parkland Hospital to care for the patient.

Then—after the patient is safely back home, they should create an invoice and provide it to the U.S. State Department.

The State Department should deduct the amount of the bill from that foreign country’s next foreign aid payment and remit the funds to Parkland.

Win for the patient, win for the hospital, win for the taxpayer.

The only loser—the originating country—as it should be.

If the originating country wants to try to collect reimbursement from their citizen—that is their call...

There are a lot of things the government does that voters are against. You just need the right combination to get you to 50% plus one electoral votes.

It is important to understand that government (of every type) never ever stops expanding. It is the only thought, and the only focus.

Now apply this to healthcare. Today, the Dems are seeking give "free" healthcare to non-Americans who are here illegally. There's literally only one step remaining in the process: Democrats will decry the social injustice of proximity discrimination. "The sick and the elderly who cannot manage to cross our borders illegally are unjustly left out of this benefit. This hateful xenophobia must end!!"

And just like that, the American Middle Class taxpayers will be on the hook for all medical care for all of the poor, across the globe. There is no other "next step". (The poor pay nothing, of course... and "the rich pay nothing, because they have the lawyers and accountants and are vile and selfish" (in the left's eyes).... so only the Middle will pay.)

But the logic will still be applied to other areas. Those who broke our laws in other ways must also be given perks. Non-Citizens will continue to be given benefits that Americans are not. One that has already been accomplished is that the children of illegals are only charged in-state tuition, whereas the children of out-of-state American citizens are charged about twice as much. Come here illegally from Honduras or Liberia, and you get the best rates. Come to our school lawfully from 50 miles away, over a state line, and you pay double.

When President Xi visits from China and stands in the room at a Pres Buttigieg rally, he is now an American as well! He gets voting rights here, too!! Anyone who grabs the fence or wall at any embassy or consular office on earth automatically gets welfare benefits and a voter registration card. Anything less is just mean!
