Pay attention to the quote... Hmmm.
President Obama on Tuesday sought to assure legal immigrants that they can sign up for ObamaCare without worrying that “the immigration people” will come for family members who are in the country illegally.
In an interview with Univision Deportes, a Spanish-language sports radio show, Obama said immigration officials won’t have access to the personal information that consumers provide when signing up for healthcare on the new exchanges.
“Well, the main thing for people to know is that any information you get, you know, asked with respect to buying insurance, does not have anything to do with … the rules governing immigration,” Obama said. “And you know, you can qualify if you’re a legal resident, if you are … legally present in the United States.
“You know, if you have a family where some people are citizens or legally here, and others are not documented, the immigration people will never get that information.”
Obama to Hispanics: We won’t deport relatives because you enroll in ObamaCare
For the past five years, President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have picked and chosen which laws they wanted to uphold and which ones they didn’t. Obama told the Justice Department to stop enforcing the Defense of Marriage Act more than a year before it was overturned in court. Immigration officers were told to stop deporting illegals unless they had a prior history of committing a felony.
Now Holder has told all state attorney generals that they don’t have to enforce any laws that they disagree with such as laws banning same-sex marriage.

In other words....
If you like your family, you can keep your family?

I truly, truly believe that Obama is trying to finish destroying the middle productive class and the nation.

Which would you prefer;
1. A resident alien that actually pays up front for insurance before showing up at an emergency room with a broken leg and the taxpayers foot part of the bill.
2. A resident alien pays nothing up front and shows up at an emergency room with a broken leg and the tax payers foot the whole bill.
Why would you advocate more gov't spending with tax money? Just to spite your perceived political rival? That's the behavior that has the US circling the drain in the first place.
