Seems to me that they are out to prove Joe Wilson right when he said that Obama lied about border-jumping immigration criminals not being covered under ObamaCare.
Fearful that they're losing ground on immigration and health care, a group of House Democrats is pushing back and arguing that any health care bill should extend to all legal immigrants and allow illegal immigrants some access, The Washington Times reported on Monday.The Democrats, trying to stiffen their party's spines on the contentious issue, say it's unfair to bar illegal immigrants from paying their own way in a government-sponsored exchange. Legal immigrants, they say, regardless of how long they've been in the United States, should be able to get government-subsidized health care if they meet the other eligibility requirements.
Of course, the next argument is that illegals too poor to afford the insurance should get it for free – expect it. And there will certainly be a bar to using data from ObamaCare for purposes of locating illegals and deporting them. In other words, this will just be welfare for lawbreakers.

Comments on Dems Push Coverage For Illegals
So, let me ask you something, who ever you are, you disagree with the idea of giving undocumented people insurance.
|| Posted by Martha, October 1, 2009 10:25 AM ||Well, let me ask you something else, the goverment wouldn't have to offer anything for undocumented if the goverment offers a chance to the undocumented to be legal. Besides, you should change the word lawbreakers and I think that the lawbreakers are on the jail and they get food, health care, and a place to sleep without anyone complaining. The fact that we left our home to come here to look for a better future doesn't make us lawbrakers. It makes us fighters, it is not easy to leave everything you know, but when home is not a safe place you have to look for a new home. We pay taxes on food just like you, we get on the same bus, we have family, children, we work, we do everything you do and we are everything you are.
