Senate Finance Committee Democrats rejected a proposed a requirement that immigrants prove their identity with photo identification when signing up for federal healthcare programs.
Finance Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said that current law and the healthcare bill under consideration are too lax and leave the door open to illegal immigrants defrauding the government using false or stolen identities to obtain benefits.
Grassley’s amendment was beaten back 10-13 on a party-line vote.
No verification…you would think that these senators are working for ACORN.
When two brand new, shiny black Mercedes SUVs bearing a “Hardin Police Department” logo drove through the main thoroughfare of Hardin, Mont., last week, people took notice.
“How many police forces have Mercedes?” said Charlene Warren, a local business owner who has lived in Hardin for more than half a century. “That threw up a red flag.”
And speaking of flags, it did not go unnoticed that the emblem on the sides of the SUVs bore a strong resemblance to the Serbian national flag.
Furthermore, those “police department” cars were rolling through Hardin, a small southeastern Montana town of 3,600 that just happens not to have a police department.
Mysterious security force raise questions. A group calling itself American Police Force has agreed to fill the jail but nobody knows anything about the organization.
