New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez knows no limits when it comes to spending taxpayer money on benefits for illegal aliens who are not even supposed to be in our country in the first place.

Now, according to The Hill newspaper, Sen. Menendez is trying to make sure that whatever health care plan comes out of Congress this year covers illegals as well as US citizens:

Senior Democrat turns healthcare debate into fight over illegal immigration

Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) is putting Democrats in a bind by seeking to let illegal immigrants benefit from the healthcare overhaul.

Menendez, the only Hispanic senator, has considerable leverage with Democrats because he may represent the deciding vote on the Senate Finance Committee… He’s also the party’s campaign committee chairman, giving him added influence.

Menendez said he is withholding his support for the bill until his concerns about immigration and other matters are addressed….

In an email message dated September 24, Grassfire president Steve Elliot said:

As if the contentious health care debate isn’t enough for Americans to handle, President Obama is now using it to set the stage for widespread amnesty!

Speaking to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute during a meeting last week, he said, “This [health care] debate underscores the necessity of passing comprehensive immigration reform and resolving the issue of 12 million undocumented people living and working in this country once and for all.”

This is outrageous!

With each passing day it’s becoming abundantly clear that ObamaCare is little more than a ruse for a radical reshaping of our nation and a massive encroachment and increase of government power!….

The government will require that our tax-dollars fund the healthcare needs of the 12-18 million illegals!
