Thanks for clearing that up.
If the trial balloons I have seen floated are what is actually done by executive action I really don't have a problem with it.
5-10 year retroactive background check paid for by applicant.
If clean, granted work visa.
pay taxes.
aren't eligible for any federal subsidies, EBTA, welfare, obamacare, etc.
no guarantee of citizenship unless by congressional action.
Is this what everyone else is hearing?
If so, what's the problem?
sounds good to me, but of course I'd go further.
Just like with KXL and oppositions, Repugs' ideology is that illegal immigrants are illegal and must be punished (Repugs are tough on lawbreakers), and Repugs REFUSE to lose to any opposition, which they deny is even legit opposition.
With Repugs, it's not about solving problems, not about moving the country forward, it's always political measuring and grovelling before their paymasters. To compromise is treason.
If they are paying SS and unemployment insurance, then when they lose their job, they get unemployment like anybody else.
They should be able to buy (subsidized) health insurance, just like anybody else, to keep them out of the ERs and from taxpayers from picking up their health bills because they wait until their health degradation is advanced, emergency.
AFAIK, the only thing he can do with EO is enforcement policy action. Now, that could delay potential deportations, but that's about the extent of it. There's no amnesty there.
I still don't like it. It's still largely cheap labor. But from what I understand, it's not illegal either.
unemployment insurance is state based dumbass. Yeah, the feds subsidized the states to extend it during the recession but it was still state based and administered.
Boo, the trial balloons from the Obama camp I have heard have said no obamacare. Of course, they have intentionally and shamelessly lied before. Why change now?
what's to prevent illegals from buying health insurance like anybody else?
just like uninsured citizens whose health bills are paid by taxpayers and inflated costs from providers to insurers who then hike premiums, why not illegals but on subsidized health insurance? I sure the health insurers would LOVE that.
