Bush Tax Cuts: Getting Health Care

Undocumented Immigrants Dept: On Tuesday, he answered that question with a speech in El Paso, Tex., his first major policy announcement since the Abbottabad raid. To the surprise of many, he devoted it entirely to the single cause of immigration reform, and in particular to an effort to give the at least 11 million “illegal aliens” in the United States a pathway to full, legal citizenship, as well as reintroducing a bill, the DREAM Act, to allow “illegals” to attend university and receive scholarships, according to Globe And Mail. It has been more than 10 years since the U.S. Congress ended a decade of amnesties granting citizenship to millions of undocumented immigrants. Since then, the mood has turned against these non-citizen residents: Several states have passed bills forbidding them or their children from attending school or university, from getting drivers’ licences, from getting health care and how would he spend this injection of “Osama equity”? He’d have one shot to use it. Would he push for a new economic-recovery bill, for a repeal of the Bush tax cuts, for education investments? To outsiders, it may have seemed an obscure choice. But there are few things that are as destructive to a nation as the presence of a large population who are needed by the economy but who have no pathway to citizenship. As reported in the news.
