Does not say anything there about healthcare for illegal immigrants!

The stumbling block is GOP insistence that newly legalized workers now working in the shadows have no access to government-sponsored health care during their 15-year pathway to citizenship, according to two sources with access to the secret house “Gang of 8″ meetings.

Democrats say that since these newly legalized immigrants would be paying taxes they should be eligible for benefits.

I didn't know that legalized immigrants were consider illegal.  Sort of an oxymoron?

Is there a difference between legalized workers and immigrants?

From what I read it seems that they won't become legal citizens until they've tread the 15 year path, at that point they will have access.


If that is, in fact, the case.....I'm fine with it. Who is to say there won't be another surge of illegals flooding over to get on the "Golden Path," for a while and then split or disappear afterwards.

There has to be a cut off.

If what I've read is correct, of course.
