Obama: Legalize Illegals And Get Them Health Care

Posted by | September 18, 2009 11:48 | Filed under: Top Stories


President Obama has often talked about the need to bring undocumented workers into the system. They do work. They also fill out tax forms.  And the president knows that leaving them out in the cold is not the solution.

 

“Even though I do not believe we can extend coverage to those who are here illegally, I also don’t simply believe we can simply ignore the fact that our immigration system is broken,” Mr. Obama said Wednesday evening in a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. “That’s why I strongly support making sure folks who are here legally have access to affordable, quality health insurance under this plan, just like everybody else.

 

Mr. Obama added, “If anything, this debate underscores the necessity of passing comprehensive immigration reform and resolving the issue of 12 million undocumented people living and working in this country once and for all.”
