      It's a lie. But while we're talking about illegal aliens, I'd rather have an illegal alien living next door to me than a lying, malicious, scumbag right wing nut job Republican.

      I am not sure if a lot of Americans are aware of this, but most illegals in Canada are Americans and guess what? They get health care.

        And...lots of seniors move to Arizona so they can easily travel to Mexico to get affordable health care, especially dental care.

      with a little digging, I am sure these "sctreaming foul " personalities were absolutely quiet and absent from discussions, when Bush 43 was presiding, over the total lack of border control, specially on the border between Arizona and Mexico. But then again, it is FOX News.

      From now on when these people open there whole, they should have a copy of the section of the bill they propose to interpret as fact. Since everyone in Congress has a copy, lets deal with the actual printed language in a visible form and discussions lead from that angle; One of actual, printed, facts!

        No, no, latanza, they won't do that. Betsy McCaughey tried that on the Daily Show, and got pwned on an epic scale by Jon Stewart. She really didn't want to read directly from the text, since it didn't support a single one of her lies, and with the text right there, this was easy enough for Mr. Stewart to point out.

      What's sad is that even though the bill doesn't do that, people will believe the lies because democrats aren't pushing back hard enough. The minute these lies get out, democrats should step up and tell them to cite their source. Point out in the bill where that language is present. It would be like when McCaughy tried that crap on Jon Stewart. She was then embarrassed when she couldn't point it out. Once she started reading, she actually contradicted herself and Stewart let her have it for trying to lie on his show. This is how the democrats should handle this debate. Catch the detractors in their lie and let them have to reconcile with the people about that.

      Illegal immigrants allready get free healthcare thru the emergency rooms. Most of them pay taxes anyways (Federal, social security etc), so they might as well be taxed for healthcare they are already receiving. These people may be illegal, but employers here in the US still cut them a check that takes out taxes.
