Democrats Prove Joe Wilson Right - Make it Easy for Illegals to Go Around the Rules and Get Federal Healthcare

When Obama said "The reforms I'm proposing will not apply to those who are here illegally" Joe Wilson shouted out, "You Lie!"  Democrats recently rejected a provision that would require immigrants to show photo ID to sign up for federal health care programs.  Why?  What's wrong with making them prove that they are who they say they are?  It doesn't seem too burdensome.  I have to show photo ID to buy liquor, to board an airplane, and to cash a check, it's not a huge deal.  Immigrants are required to give other information, such as name, place of birth, and social security number but without a photo ID to tie them to the person they are claiming to be, it seems pretty worthless.

The only time the government issued photo ID becomes burdensome is when it is required and you don't have one.  A state ID costs $15 on average, no state charges more than $30.  So, it's not really the cost to get one that is burdensome.  Where it becomes burdensome is when you are trying to get a state ID you are not entitled to.  Like one someone else's name, someone who has legal status. 

Why would the Democrats make it easy for people who are here illegally to slip into the federal health care system?  It doesn't make any sense.  A registration for federal health care without requiring ID is like a gate with no fence, you can just go around it.  I guess the gate is just for show.

Healthcare Bill Won't Cover Illegal Aliens Because Obama Wants to Legalize the Illegals

At a speech this week Obama spoke about health care for illegal aliens.  He said, "If anything, this debate underscores the necessity of passing comprehensive immigration reform and resolving the issue of 12 million undocumented people living and working in this country once and for all." How do you resolve the issue of 12 million illegals?  By deporting them?  I sincerely doubt it.  He's talking about amnesty. 

Obama wants to convert the illegals to legal status and add them onto the health care plan.  So, basically, people break our laws, sneak into our country, take advantage of our services, pay no taxes, send their earnings back to their home countries and now we are going to reward them with citizenship?  Seriously??  Who elected this clown?
