In case you thought a moment of truth had slipped by in the State of the Union address when Obama assured us the no illegal aliens would be allowed to sign up for Obamacare (upon which Joe Wilson yelled from the gallery, "You lie!"), have no fear. Obama has maintained his perfect 0-for everything score for telling the truth about Obamacare.
Obamacare Navigators Helping People Enroll At Mexican Consulates

The Obama administration has been helping to facilitate a series of events nationwide at Mexican Consulate offices to enroll people in Obamacare – and a key activist says the efforts are “our responsibility” regardless of citizenship. “Whether they’re Mexican nationals or whether they’re United States citizens or whether they’re in transition-- and if they’re there it is our responsibility within all of America to educate on the Affordable Care Act,” Enroll America Field Organizer Jose Medrano told Breitbart News on Wednesday.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), undocumented immigrants aren't supposed to be receiving government-run health benefits or subsidized coverage. However, President Barack Obama told Latinos in early March that the Healthcare.gov website would not be used to find out about an individual’s immigration status. “None of the information that is provided in order for you to obtain health insurance is in any way transferred to immigration services,” he said.
1. Illegal immigrants aren't eligible to sign-up, they have no way to sign up; if they try and it comes back they are not legal, they can't sign up, and their status will not be forwarded to the authorities.
2. Lots of legal immigrants still likely use the consulate as a resource, so what difference does is it really make where they sign up?
3. Would this be a problem if it were an Israeli consulate, or a British one?

Apparently Mexican consulate automatically equals illegal immigrants. How low can you get? When it comes to the haters, pretty low

If you're a xenophobic neo-Confederate that dabbles in casual racism, then yes
I'm not a US citizen. Is it OK with you guys if I continue paying into my ACA-compliant insurance? Just checking...
No problems if you're paying for your coverage. Many citizens don't like that illegals/immigrants frequently receive many more FREE benefits that seem to flow to them before our own citizens. My understanding is that European countries will give free healthcare to anyone within their borders regardless of immigration status. This is NOT Europe and we certainly don't have anywhere near the lifestyle benefits or safety net that Europeans enjoy. Of course, if Europe actually paid for its OWN defense instead of relying on us, those benefits might not be affordable to those countries. Out of curiosity, why would you choose to live in this country? I thought Denmark is considered to be the "happiest country on earth"

Only citizens and permanent residents are eligible for government assistance. I believe refugees are the only exception. The only way non-resident aliens are receiving public assistance is through their American born children, who are Americans. You might know them as "anchor babies".
