Obamacare Preview: Romneycare a Giveaway for Illegal Immigrants
It's probably not how Mitt Romney envisioned it, but the former Massachusetts governor's signature health-care law is turning out to be a gigantic freebie for illegal immigrants.
A new report from the Massachusetts inspector general found that state agencies have failed to implement controls to prevent ineligible people -- including illegal aliens -- from getting free taxpayer-funded health care.
The audit found that the Commonwealth has provided millions of dollars worth of free health services to residents of foreign countries, as well as residents of other states, who should not have qualified in the "free care pool," which is supposed to be only for legal residents of Massachusetts who do not have health insurance, reports Jessica Vaughn of the Center for Immigration Studies.
"Does anyone doubt that this is the way illegal aliens' claims for free health services will be handled under Obamacare, despite all the promises to the contrary?" Vaughn asks.

Whats the difference if illegals receive millions in medical care, or millions in other benefits, which happens all the time. If the government really wanted to do something about illegal immigrants, they would send them all packing. But, then that would cost too much right? So, maybe it's cheaper to overlook their illegal status. Congress will never enforce the immigration laws, because if they did, most would loose their gardeners, their maids, their nannies, and their drivers. Plus, who would drive all the cabs in DC? If Congress really wants to help America, they need to overlook their own needs, and remove the higher income cap from the Social Security system. If everyone paid a flat percentage, we would have no shortages in the future. Same with income taxes.

If this supposed report from the Massachusetts Inspector General is valid, why is there no citation or documentation as to where one can find this report?
