They will not have to wait the customary 5-year waiting period since they are considered "legal". American taxpayers in this country will have to pay for insurance of course.
Yeah! Screw people fleeing from war-torn countries where they've lost everything and their compatriots tried to kill them!
THAT'S NOT MY PROBLEM AND I DUN WANNA PAY FOR THEIR INSURANCE!
WAHHH!
You pay for it if you want to. You invite em into your home to live in your basement. My and everybody else has the responsibility to take care of our familes which is becoming harder and harder to do thanks to you lefties. YOU are infringing on my right to liberty but you don't give one crap. Hell most of you libs don't even have a job and live in your parents basement to begin with so they can't even take in an immigrant family cause you are taking up their living space.
All we are doing is creating a heavier tax burden for our youth who will have to pay to support these people.
Is there a line ? How many is too many to support ?
In 2014 you are going to have 39 million added to the rolls of subsidized healthcare/medicaid.
And that's just citizens today. There could be more that qualify by 2014 most likely at the rate this economy is going.
For argument's sake, let's say their insurance would cost $200/month. That's $8 billion a month that taxpayers need to come up with..probably a little less since the subsidized healthcare is not 100% subsidized.
We have a duty and responsibility to help refugees. I am glad we do.
