Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) was chastised for accusing President Obama of lying when Obama told a joing session of Congress that there was no provision in the health care bill that would allow illegal immigrants to receive taxpayer-funded health benefits. But was Wilson correct? The following letter from Reps. Brian Bilbray and Dean Heller to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Minority Leader John Boehner discusses the disturbing truth.
Dear Madam Speaker and Republican Leader Boehner:
As discussion on health care reform continues, we urge you to include measures that will prevent illegal immigrants from receiving taxpayer-funded benefits in any health care reform bill considered by the House. While the House bill currently says illegal immigrants cannot get benefits, the statement is meaningless because the bill contains no verification mechanism to ensure that illegal immigrants will not receive benefits.
