Sacrificing American Children for Illegal Alien Health Insurance

By Ronald W. Mortensen, October 5, 2009

When Senate Finance Committee Democrats defeated an amendment last week that would have required photo identification for health benefits on a straight party-line vote, they joined their House colleagues in defending a culture of corruption that results in millions of American children having their identities being used by illegal aliens to obtain benefits that they are not entitled to.

Sen. Grassley was absolutely correct when he argued that illegal aliens would use fraudulent or stolen identities to sign up for federal health care programs. After all, according to a senior Social Security official, three-quarters (75%) of illegal aliens already use fraudulent Social Security numbers.

The Social Security numbers of children are highly sought after since no one checks their credit histories. It is estimated that over 50,000 kids in Utah have been victimized primarily by illegal aliens; a million in Arizona.

In addition, as I explain in the CIS Backgrounder “Illegal but Not Undocumented: Identity Theft, Document Fraud, and Illegal Employment," illegal aliens have a myriad of other false documents – fake drivers licenses, phony U.S. passports, fraudulent green cards, bogus birth certificates, counterfeit visas, and the list goes on.

In spite of this, House Democrats refused to include any eligibility verification provisions in their health care reform bill with the full knowledge that illegal aliens could use their fraudulent documents to obtain health benefits just as they currently do to obtain jobs. The House bill was so weak that even the Congressional Hispanic Caucus was willing to go along with it and if Rep. Joe Wilson had not accused the President of lying about the immigration provisions, the Democrats may well have gotten away with providing back-door health insurance for millions of illegal aliens.

Sen. Bingaman’s assertion that Sen. Grassley’s amendment to require photo identification is a “solution without a problemâ€

Anyone get the feeling that our gov't hates us?

It is just the same old story concerning our Elitist Politicians; JUST FOLLOW THE MONEY!

Sen. Menendez, a strong advocate for illegal aliens, reportedly expressed concern that Sen. Grassley’s amendment would impact the most vulnerable in our society and warned that the children of illegal aliens could be excluded from health insurance because their parents lacked legal documents.

Grassley is 100% right on, these kids should NOT receive anything paid for with our tax dollars!

There are many more U.S. born anchor babies than illegal alien children born outside of this country. These anchor babies and their mothers are bankrupting American medical facilities. Unless E-verify is used for illegals seeking prenatal care, the costs are going to continue to skyrocket.

Isn't that one of the gaping loopholes in what is being offered? If one 'resident' is 'an American' the whole family qualifies.
