Senate HCR Bill Piles on Undocumented Immigrants
December 22, 2009 · Leave a Comment
The Senate HCR bill is going to appease nativist birthers while hurting constituents.

Mark Willen from the Kiplinger Letter, just raised an important point about how the Senate is about to enact draconian provisions against undocmented immigrants which happen to go against the interests of American citizens. When anti-immigrant nativism cuts against pocketbook interersts for most Americans, I get a foreboding feeling of what is in store in 2010 during the comprehensive immigration reform debate.

The bottom line from Willen’s piece is that the Senate believes most Americans will be willing to subsidize emergency care for undocumented immigrants, and will also be willing to pay higher insurance premiums just so long as Senators can tell their constituents back home they voted against allowing undocumented immigrants to have access to the private insurance exchange that will follow passage of HCR.

Joe Wilson, you are such an asshole. Yes, I know you are not a senator but it was your incredibly loud and rude “you lieâ€

"because undocumented immigrants will not have access to health insurance, they will not seek medical assistance until illnesses/ injuries get real bad and expensive." Or because Americans have had enough of paying for services for illegals, they will get the hint and leave. Thats a more promising scenario...

because undocumented immigrants will not have access to health insurance, THAN MAYBE they wont come here for that perk to begin with....

Its about ending the incentives. NOT creating MORE...jerks

In sum, the exclusion of undocumented immigrants from health exchanges, even if they want to pay with their own money (no subsidies) raises insurance costs for everyone else. What does this suggest. For starters, the undocumented immigrant exclusion in the senate bill is irrationally punitive. It also suggests, that self interested senators are willing to appease anti immigrant constituencies even when against the interests of all their constituents and the public good. oh boy, next year’s gonna be fun.

WHAT BS!!!!

Yeah it is going to be fun because WE ARE GOING TO KICK ALL THE TRAITORS OUT and give the illegals a one way ticket HOME!!!!
