Sebelius: Illegal immigrant debate a 'red herring'

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) may have said that Barack Obama was lying when he said the health care bill won't cover illegal immigrants, but the secretary of Health and Human Services said Sunday that opponents are drumming up a false debate over the issue.

"The language will be clear when the final draft is written," Kathleen Sebelius said on ABC's "This Week." 'There's a section in the House bill -- as Congressman Wilson well knows that says that [illegal immigrants won't be covered] very explicitly.

"I think this is a red herring."

But Republican Tim Pawlenty, the Minnesota governor, said that "unless you have an enforcement mechanism in place, it doesn't mean much."

Obama and the Dems also said there are NO earmarks in the Stimulus bill right after they passed this bill that contained over 9,000 ear marks benefitting anti-American groups like Acorn and La Raza.

this HHS secretary is useless.
she tried to use sept 11 and compare it to the swine flu the other day
