Do You think it's fair George W. Bush is going to cut off illegal aliens Medicaid will Welfare be next?

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/16/us/16medicaid.html

More than 50 million Medicaid recipients will soon have to produce birth certificates, passports or other documents to prove that they are United States citizens, and everyone who applies for coverage after June 30 will have to show similar documents under a new federal law.
The requirement is meant to stop the "theft of Medicaid benefits by illegal aliens," in the words of Representative Charlie Norwood, Republican of Georgia, a principal author of the provision, which was signed into law by President Bush on Feb. 8.
In enforcing the new requirement, federal and state officials must take account of passions stirred by weeks of national debate over immigration policy. State officials worry that many blacks, American Indians and other poor people will be unable to come up with the documents needed to prove citizens

No because they are illegal and by Federal law are not eligible to receive these benefits. I don't understand why people are so brainwashed into believing that "Illegal America" is on WELFARE

YES!! We need to take care of our own citizens first.

Of course it's fair. What is unfair is giving billions of dollars of taxpayer money to people who broke our laws to get here.

ILLEGAL... if they are here illegally, they are not entitled to benefits! NO WELFARE, NO MEDICAID...NOT FOR ILLEGALS! Legal American Citizens only should be able to receive these benefits.

Why is this a problem? It does not cost anything to get a copy of your birth certificate, so "poor" people should not have a problem, and it is impossible to make this about race.

Why can't a LEGAL citizen come up with the proper documentation? That's completely ridiculous. They have plenty of access to get proper identification. As far as illegals, we need to cut them off from all government programs as fast as possible. They have no legal right to those benefits.

Just for reference, I know a family who moved into my neighborhood...a NICE neighborhood, mom doesn't speak English, not even a citizen, got a free house given to her by the City of Tucson, gets food stamps, free utilities, free uniforms for her kids and welfare money on top of it. She doesn't even work and doesn't even plan to. Now how is this a good idea in anyone's eyes? It's horrible and unfair.

One word- ILLEGAL!


Clarkie
Where does it say in the Medicaid or Welfare guidelines that these benefits are owed to any person who crawls over a border to get them?
Don't be ridiculous! If illegals don't get cut off the dole, they'll NEVER stop coming here

Yes, it is going to benefit, all Americans.... It will allow us to save the money, that is being given away to FELONS. We the tax payers, are the ones that pay for all of that. It is not right that, they can come n and drain OUR MONEY. If we do not put a stop, to it then we will not have it there, when we need it....

Excellent

If they are here illegally why should i and my fellow taxpayers be burdened with any other financial responsibility beyond returning them to where they came from?


Bill Brasky
yes. Is it fair that I have to pay for illegals out of my taxes

I, for once, agree with Bush!!! Make the illegal beaners who came into this country under he radar responsible for their actions. If you are here illegally and you get sick...tough luck!
Why should I keep paying my hard earned tax dollars for criminals to get healthcare when a veteran of the country is living on the street and barely surviving??? I think we should build a giant wall around the US and shoot the crap out of anyone who tries to come in illegally!!!!

It's fair to legal US citizens and residents, and that's all that matters. If illegals can't get free money anymore, then all I have to say is, "good."


EW
yes

Of course it's fair. They're crimminals! They're here illegally. They do NOT pay taxes. Why should Americans have to pay for nonAmerican crimminals to get freebies?


daisygirl
If you expect to live off our welfare and medical systems then in my opinion you are lazy. If you are able body get out there and get a job. Why should we the "tax payers" pay for people who do not want to help themselves. I think you should provide some kind of documentation and if you are not legal then no help should be offered.


DR
I hope so, then we will have enough money to complete the fence between Mexico and Texas!!!!!

Shouldn't this have been the requirement to begin with??!! Or at least some type of investigation into the ss#'s that were being used to verify authenticity before benefits were approved??!! Come on now, you cannot just place the blame on people taking advantage of the program when security measures werent taken to begin with!!! Will everything that goes wrong in America always be blamed on illegal aliens (from any country)?? What if all illegals were deported, who would you blame for everything that goes wrong in this country??!!

Illegal Aliens? God I hope so, they shouldn't be getting any now!!!

Welfare is a different story, We should at least take care of our own...

Hey, just to let you know, since you aren't smart enough to figure it out on your own. All that poetry s hit, is not the real princess so you can stop bashing her now.

I completely agree, why would i wanna pay into something that benefits someone that isn't paying into it. If someone wants to become an American citizen then they are entitled to all benefits. yes, i know that it is very difficult to become an American citizen but that is the way that it is. The rules and regulations that our government has established is the reason we have a great nation like we do.
