Health care and 'U'
Thursday, October 22, 2009 6:18 AM PDT
Here is President Obama's disclaimer on the Health Care Program for Americans, and, a word that will one day be absolute, illegal immigrants.
So for all of you that believe Obama will not give illegal immigrants health care rights, think again.
We now have a "U Visa Program" for illegal immigrants. What is this program for illegal immigrants you ask? This new "U Visa Program" is for illegal immigrants that are victims of abuse. It will give temporary legal status and give illegal immigrants work status with Social Security numbers included. It will give an illegal immigrant power to only make an accusation of abuse to local authorities, which will provide illegal immigrants four years of health care coverage — free of charge — and it will include family members such as spouses, children, unmarried sisters and brothers under 18, mothers, fathers, as well as stepparents and adoptive parents, making them legal immigrants. Why not include neighbors, too. Heck, just include the entire illegal immigrants of America. Why pussyfoot around? As usual, the government has a program that is for good, but like all government run programs, it's full of loopholes.
So no, Obama is not a liar, he's a deceiver. The more people in the pot, the more money he can request for health care and the more he can spent and justify spending. So, no health care will not go to illegal immigrants, only those 10,000 per year allotment of illegal immigrants on the "U Visa Program."

Does anyone actually think that the "U-Visa" brought up by F-A is a benefit for aliens? No, this was enacted so that the various law enforcement arms of the US Government can obtain information on illegal activities so that they can receive additional funding from the US Government to fight said illegal activities. Justification is the name of the game. "

Records from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services reflect that approximately 4,400 visas were issued this fiscal year.
Before a U visa is approved by the USCIS, the applicant must obtain certification by law enforcement that he or she has cooperated in the arrest and/or prosecution of the alleged abuser without the fear of deportation.
U visas were created to protect some of the most vulnerable foreign nationals, victims of domestic violence and their children.'

No need for more questions. You certainly meet the exact definition, according to Dictionary.com, of the word "opinion," i.e, "a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty." "

Just looking at the form cited in the article she references indicates this is not a new program - the form is dated 2007, so this program was instituted during a previous administration.
So, Ms. Flores-Alcaraz, who is the liar and deceiver here? Please find another outlet for your alarmist misinformation. "

"The applicant must have suffered substantial physical or mental abuse due to a criminal activity in at least one of the following categories: rape, torture, trafficking, incest, domestic violence, sexual assault, abusive sexual contact, prostitution, sexual exploitation, female genital mutilation, hostage situations, peonage, false imprisonment, involuntary servitude, slave trade, kidnapping, abduction, unlawful criminal restraint, blackmail, extortion, manslaughter, murder, felonious assault, witness tampering, obstruction of justice, perjury or attempt, conspiracy, or solicitation to commit any of the above mentioned crimes.'
When a person is here illegally, it is a stretch to provide them with 4 years of health care coverage. However, how do they justify paying for other family members as well?
So, I guess Joe Wilson was right after all. "
