What does the IHB make of that?
I ask because although I thought it was in poor taste, and disrespectful of the office, I also thought that someone had to say it. In Obamas speech he said in his proposed healthcare plan "would not apply to those here illegally" yet its not what he's proposing thats being considered, its the actual bill H.R.3200.
2 different amendments asking for a validation mechanism like SAVE (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements) have been put through congress, one through the house of ways and means and the other though the house committee on energy and commerce, both went down in flames.
On the campaign trail, Obama promised that he would deal with amnesty straight away but he's put it off for 2 years because there are too many other, more pressing issues this year, and next year is an election year. So La Raza and the like have said "if youre not going to deal with amenesty then we will not be supporting your healthcare bill" Which means that the words excluding healthcare for illegals may be in the bill, but there are no means of enforcing or verifying them. Obama threw them a bone.
Was the Representative from South Carolina really wrong for his words? Maybe, it probably wasn't the venue, however at the same time if he hadn't it wouldn't have been all over the news today.
Before anyone spouts off the pat response of "Stop listening to Rush, Hannity, Fox News and being a sheep" I don't. I don't know who Hannity is and before someone on this board mention him, I had never heard of him, I think Rush is a pig, and Fox anything is never. on. the. TV. at. our. house. Ask BK.
