In a desperate act to save the President’s signature piece of legislation and inflate the already exaggerated number of supposed enrollees, Obama pandered to the Latino community in order to secure what would potentially be a large voting block. Since a majority of Obamacare recipients receive state subsidies already the result is essentially free health insurance for undocumented immigrants as well as a path to citizenship. - See more at: http://nationalreport.net/obama-issues-executive-order-granting-amnesty-illegals-enroll-obamacare/#sthash.21z5N9sz.dpuf“This is a huge day for the Latino community. After years of inaction by the President and Congress, President Obama has stepped out a limb and offered an olive branch to the Latino community and we will not forget the efforts of the Democrats through this process,” stated Latinos for Amnesty Coalition (LAC) spokesperson Pablo Horner. ”This really is about giving people access to healthcare at the end of the day. These immigrants are already in our country, paying taxes, sending their children to schools, etc. The President’s order will give these folks the security of knowing they have the world’s greatest healthcare and will not be deported.”
Obama signed the Executive Order during an event at the White House this afternoon where he signed two others. Huffington Post describes the others as:
“One would prohibit federal contractors from retaliating against employees who share their salary information with each other. The provision is inspired by Lilly Ledbetter, the namesake of the first bill Obama signed on equal pay in 2009, who worked for nearly 20 years at Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. before discovering that men in her same job with equal or lesser experience were earning significantly more money than she was.
The second executive order will instruct the Department of Labor to create new regulations requiring federal contractors to report wage-related data to the government, in the hope that it will hold them more accountable for salary differences based on sex or race.”
Republicans maintain that Obama is overstepping his powers through executive order and he should do more with Congress to address the nation’s real concerns.
