Help FAIR Ensure That Illegal Aliens Won't Be Able to Access Taxpayer-Funded Benefits


The Senate is currently considering the health care reform bill (H.R. 3590). As FAIR's Legislative Analysis concludes:

  • The Senate bill contains a loophole to allow illegal aliens to access taxpayer-funded health care benefits;
  • The Senate bill fails to effectively prevent illegal aliens from accessing the taxpayer-subsidized "exchange" marketplace; and
  • In a radical departure from current law, the Senate bill circumvents long-standing policies that would require legal immigrants to wait five years before accessing federal health care benefits.
As a result, the Senate health care bill promotes poor immigration policy and fails to protect the interests of the American taxpayers. Fax your Senators today to support key amendments that will fix these problems.
