January 12, 2010 Dan Stein on Health Care for Illegal Immigrants FAIR president Dan Stein participated in a question and answer forum with the Allentown Morning Call about health care for illegal immigrants. "In general, the health care debate forces to the forefront the broad question of what kind of immigration policy the nation can afford. The question becomes quite obvious: Can we provide first-rate, high-quality health care for immigrants that lack the skills to even cover half of the cost of running that health care?" Stein told the paper.
Tuition Bill for Illegal Immigrants Fails in NJ Legislature New Jersey legislators rejected a measure to give in-state tuition to illegal aliens. The bill, which has been proposed for years, was dangerously close to passage until immigration reform activists rallied to tell their state legislators they opposed the measure. The Inquirer wrote, "Opponents balked at voting for a measure that would provide benefits to illegal immigrants during a time of economic turbulence and angst. Democrats control both houses, but were unable to muster the votes needed in the Senate, where they hold a 22-17 edge with one seat vacant. Republicans had promised uniform opposition."
Agriprocessors Exec Pleads Guilty to Illegal Hiring "Former Agriprocessors, Inc. slaughterhouse manager Brent Beebe pleaded guilty Monday to one count of conspiracy to commit document fraud," ABC News reported. The Agriprocessors plant in Iowa was the site of a massive raid in 2008.
