WASHINGTON, D.C.

Rep. Todd Tiahrt, R-Kan. (4th CD), issued the following news release:

NumbersUSA announced its support of Congressman Todd Tiahrt's Reinstatement of Personal Responsibility for Immigrants Act.

This bill would reauthorize a provision Democrats stripped last year that created a loophole for illegal immigrants to access healthcare benefits paid for by tax dollars.

Tiahrt's legislation closes the loophole and ensures the original State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) framework is reinstated that prevents illegal immigrants from using SCHIP.

In a letter to Tiahrt, Roy Beck, President of NumbersUSA, said, "The Tiahrt bill, H.R. 4708, would help remedy these rewards and enticements of illegal immigration?

Should pending health reform legislation become enacted, it becomes all the more important to adopt meaningful, effective verification such as that contained in H.R. 4708? thank you for your conscientious efforts represented in your leadership with H.R. 4708."
