RUSH: Listen closely. First here is an editorial from yesterday\u2019s Washington Times. ‘Unsatisfied with thwarting a Republican effort to authorize $3 billion for a border fence, congressional Democrats are trying to enhance the incentive for illegal aliens to enter the United States by removing the citizenship requirement from the popular State Children\u2019s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).\u2019 We\u2019ve talked about their attempts to update and revise this program. It comes up for renewal. This is the program that uses existing tobacco taxes to pay for health care for kids. Health insurance for kids, nine million of them or something, and they want to expand the number of people who are eligible. One of the things they\u2019ve done here, this is the cigar tax at ten bucks a stick, this is also where they categorize a child as anybody 25 years of age or under. So a 24-year-old father with a 22-year-old mother and maybe two babies or one, can qualify for health care. So this is the sneaky way that the left is attempting to get universal health care without taking it in one big bite. They do it in a stealth fashion, and they put it under the guise, (sniveling voice) ‘It\u2019s for the little children. We cannot deny the children health care. There\u2019s so many of them without insurance.\u2019 So it\u2019s a sneaky little thing, and now to expand it even further; remember this is about the redistribution of wealth. This is about controlling people. This is about eliminating or putting as many obstacles in the way to acquiring wealth, by the way, on the part of wage earners as possible. <\/p>\n

Now, a little history here. ‘The Republican Congress in 1996 passed legislation blocking people who are in the country illegally from claiming benefits from the federal government, and when SCHIP was created in 1997, states were required to verify citizenship. But Democrats want to take that sensible requirement for Medicaid and SCHIP and leave it to the discretion of each state. This reflects the Democrats\u2019 eagerness to offer free services to illegals at taxpayer expense,\u2019 and this is going to act as a magnet for more illegals to come. So you\u2019ve got two things going on here in one bill. You have the stealth mass expansion of a children\u2019s health care program, and you have the Democrats trying to get as many illegals in here as possible and get them on a taxpayer plan, your dollars, that would pay their health insurance, even though it\u2019s against the law now. The Democrats are livid that the Republicans succeeded in this $3 billion authorization for a border fence, and this is how they\u2019re asking for reciprocity. <\/p>\n

Now, from the Portland Oregonian: ‘Taking health care to migrants in the field — They straggle in, sweaty and tired, from a day of picking blueberries. Their workday is ending, but for a group of college students, the day is beginning. It\u2019s late afternoon, and the sun is still hot when seasonal workers and students converge at Campo Blanco, a migrant camp in Washington County. The students are here to take part in a project to better know and serve the health needs of migrant workers from Mexico. Five students from Portland State University\u2019s Graduate School of Social Work and five from a university in Puebla, Mexico, are participating in the Health Worker Outreach Project, organized by Ted Donlan, an assistant PSU professor and project co-director.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s basically what happens. Portland State University, which is supported through tax dollars, taking part in a little study. Students from the Graduate School of Social Work are participating in the health worker project. The goal of the project is to find out about migrant workers — also known as illegal aliens — find out about their health habits. So after the illegals finish picking the blueberries, these skulls full of mush from the Graduate School of Social Work flock to their migrant camp to interview them. The students collect information about the illegal aliens\u2019 medical history, their pains, the last time they saw a doctor. When they finish collecting their data, they create a little report. <\/line>‘The information is intended to shape health programs tailored to the needs of seasonal workers,\u2019 illegal immigrants is the proper term. Okay. As you people know, I can read the stitches on a fast ball. This information is intended to pave the way for taking money from people in this country legally and then using it to provide social and medical services to illegal immigrants who violate our laws every day, that they remain in this country. Information gathered by our tax dollars. <\/line><\/p>\n

So here you have two stories, the Democrats trying to expand the SCHIP program, and basically under their plan, in addition to defining a child as anybody 25 years of age and under, you would qualify for the children\u2019s insurance health program even if you have a family of four income of $82,000 a year. So we\u2019re going to get an expansion of this program, we\u2019re going to include illegal aliens in it, is what the Democrats want to do, and in Portland State, they\u2019re out there surveying illegal aliens after a tough day in the field, asking them about their medical condition. Of course we know what they\u2019re going to say, ‘Well, I haven\u2019t seen a doctor in five years. I\u2019ve got pains here, and I\u2019m terribly abused by my employer,\u2019 blah blah blah blah. They\u2019re going to write a report saying these people need health care. So two bills, one in Portland, one in the United States Congress, both designed to separate you and your money in order to pay health benefits to illegal immigrants and children up to the age of 25. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
