Senators turn back ID requirement for immigrant healthcare – The Hill’s Blog Briefing Room.
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.

LOL Butters. What makes you think that they don’t have workers in their homes that are not legally here?

Maybe even ACORN sponsored child prostitutes locked in their basements too!

I would not be surprised. These people are getting out of control.

The claim made by these Democrats is that requiring IDs would cause American citizens who are entitled to these benefits undue hardship and may in some cases keep them from receiving them. It’s an argument which is crazy on the face of it. Nonetheless, it is their argument. Democrats = CRAZY!
