July 15, 2009 How Health Reform Can't Avoid the Immigration Issue James R. Edwards tells National Review readers that any attempt to cover the uninsured will have to deal with immigration. In addition to the 9-10 million illegal immigrants without insurance, there are additional millions of legal immigrants without insurance. He notes that since 1989, immigration has accounted for 71 percent of the rise in those without health insurance. Ultimately, voters will realize that any health care program that expands care without eligibility tests will involve taking money from taxpayers and giving it to illegal aliens.
Massachusetts Looks to Cut Benefits for Legal Immigrants Massachusetts new budget cuts health care benefits for immigrants who were previously covered by the state's health care plan. The cuts will remove coverage from 30,000 immigrants who had been covered by the state's experimental universal health insurance plan. Under the 1996 welfare reform law, in order to discourage welfare use by legal immigrants (who are supposed to be supported by their sponsors) they are not eligible for federal welfare benefits for 5 years. Some states such as Massachusetts do pay these immigrants some benefits during those 5 years.
Fed Up, Canada Tries to Yank the Welcome Mat for Illegal Aliens from Mexico Mexicans wishing to visit Canada must now have a valid visa, the Canadian government said. The reason for the change was cited as the booming number of fake refugee claims by Mexicans coming to Canada, which clogged the system so much that deserving refugee claims were lost in the system.
Census Boycott by Hispanics Divides Ethnic Lobby The Rev. Miguel Rivera with the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders says that he is supporting a Census boycott by Hispanics because of the lack of an amnesty for illegal aliens. He feels that because the Census numbers are used by other power brokers for Congressional apportionment as well as grant money to the states, withholding Census participation will bring them around to passing amnesty.
Obama Administration Plans Immigration Talks With Cuba A Tuesday meeting between U.S. and Cuban representatives over immigration to the U.S. drew attacks from opponents of the communist regime. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen blasted the move as a reward for the Cuban government, headed by Raul Castro. The move is a resumption of talks dating back to the Clinton presidency that were suspended in 2003.
