Myth Vs. Fact: President’s Address to Congress

The House Republican Conference policy shop produced a document refuting some of the myths perpetuated in President Obama's address to Congress. Included in the document is the subject of illegal immigrants receiving health coverage:

Quote:  "There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants.  This, too, is false-the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally."

Fact:  Nothing in any of the Democrat bills would require individuals to verify their citizenship or identity prior to receiving taxpayer-subsidized benefits-making the President's promise one that the legislation itself does not keep.
