GOP BETRAYAL - Funds Illegal Alien Healthcare



Drop Your Pants & Bend Over

  • Cover up your ass  -  The "small government" and "Conservative" GOP is on the way over to screw the living crap out of you by funding Obamacare for illegal aliens.
  • Neither the open borders Republicans nor Democrats give a damn about American citizens.  Illegal and legal aliens are to be pandered to at all costs.

The development posed another problem for Republican leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives and President Donald Trump, who are trying to win congressional approval of the wider bill, the first big legislative test for Trump since taking office.

The provision would have allowed the Treasury Department to access data at the Department of Homeland Security to verify that healthcare tax credits went only to U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents, not to illegal immigrants.

In a largely procedural move, it was dropped from the bill after the Senate Parliamentarian determined that the Senate Finance Committee, which handles tax credits under the bill, does not have purview over the Department of Homeland Security.

Republican Representative Lou Barletta issued a statement on Monday evening, after the change was made, saying he could no longer support the bill, citing the obscure provision.

"I am concerned that the bill lacks sufficient safeguards for verifying whether or not an individual applying for health care tax credits is lawfully in this country and eligible to receive them," said the Pennsylvania lawmaker.
