Healthcare for illegal immigrants

2009-07-03T09:25:51-05:00

I was disappointed by Sen. Menendez, D-NJ and his assurances to the hispanic special interest group La Raza. I read the article about the topic and my stomach turned. Our country is broke, but we are preparing to include free healthcare to illegal immigrants. I can imagine the traffic jams this will cause at our borders.
I will share a few excerpts and a link to the article.

�And someone from Menendez� office [Ed.: Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J.] promised that he would make sure that �the useless barriers of citizenship would not be in this bill� and that he would make sure that they would use keywords like �streamline� . . .�

�It was La Raza, the Childrens Defense Fund and Senator Menendez from New Jersey, a representative from his office . . .�

�Yes [they said they would get free health care for illegal aliens], these are my notes, Mark. They actually got up and said �Latino children need health care more than whites.� And then they would say things like �you must go out into your communities, use words like �streamline,� use phrases like �all workers� and �all families,�� because they said�and I quote��If the American people find out that this bill is about giving health care to non-citizens, they will rise up against it.�

�Useless treatments for the elderly can be gone because we don�t need to spend money for people who are going to die anyway.� I watched Obama, during an interview state that for the elderly, maybe they could be given pain killers and forgo costly surgery.

�And they also said that 75% of the children who will be picked up in this will be non-citizens and that 44% of the uninsured are non-citizens and they can�t possibly allow the American people to know this.

�And La Raza said if they get this, they don�t even care about amnesty, because they�ve fixed it so that one family member can apply for all extended family members. And . . . Mark, if you think we have a problem with illegal immigration now, wait �til you see the borders when this thing gets passed.�

LOST MAY OF 2009 My son’s dog, Diablo, lived for three years on the corner of Main and Lee, across the street from Hardees. He was going to be put down, so we took him and cared for him, and he is so lovable and sweet. When we moved he stayed over towards the end of Keller Lane, and he got lost there. Please e-mail us with any information about him. marionreporter at yahoo dot com Thanks!
