"The Senate’s bipartisan immigration working group split along party lines during a contentious budget vote to prevent illegal immigrants who receive legal status from receiving federal health benefits. The Senate early Saturday morning defeated the amendment to the budget resolution which would have put the Senate on record as opposing access to health care under Medicaid or the Affordable Care Act for undocumented immigrants who get a green card.
The amendment, which failed 43 to 56, was offered by Senate Budget ranking member Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.
All Democrats — including gang members Dick Durbin of Illinois, Bob Menendez of New Jersey, Charles E. Schumer of New York and Michael Bennet of Colorado — opposed the amendment. They were joined by Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska. All other Republicans — including immigration negotiators Marco Rubio of Florida, John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona — supported the amendment."
Wilson was and still is an idiot. If a democrat had done this during Bush's reign, he would have been castrated.
I note you said nothing about Obama so I take it you agree he's a liar?? Just like he lied about gitmo and now they're thinking of building a new 50 million dollar prison down there?

I don't really think this incident makes him a liar. He is beyond any doubt an incredible liar, but not over this. Obama's name isn't mentioned in the article. It doesn't appear that he had anything to do with this. And a green card makes you legal. Regardless of whether you were legal or illegal before getting it, once you've got it you are legal. So this doesn't appear to me to be an issue of illegal immigrants getting healthcare.
