The Obama administration and a group run by senior Obama White House veterans are encouraging illegal aliens to enroll in Obamacare at Mexico’s consulates across the United States.
Apparently it’s not enough for President Obama to redistribute the wealth of Americans to other Americans. Now he wants to redistribute the wealth of Americans to the Third World.
American taxpayers will undoubtedly foot the bill for these illegal immigrants who enroll in Obamacare. This enrollment free-for-all appears to be but one prong of President Obama’s program to undermine America’s market-based system of governance by overwhelming it. This subversive approach is called the Cloward-Piven Strategy, named after its creators, Marxist academic-activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven.
Their method for hastening the fall of capitalism called for overloading the government with impossible demands in order to generate social chaos and economic collapse, which would then clear the way for socialist revolution, as I wrote in my book, Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers. Although the strategy was designed for the so-called welfare rights movement, there is no reason why it can’t be applied to other government endeavors.
Which brings us to a disturbing admission by a community organizer who is pushing illegal immigrants to jump on the Obamacare free-taxpayer-supported-healthcare bandwagon.
“Whether they’re Mexican nationals or whether they’re United States citizens or whether they’re in transition – and if they’re there it is our responsibility within all of America to educate on the Affordable Care Act,” Enroll America field organizer Jose Medrano told Breitbart News.
The Mexican government’s consular office in Brownsville, Texas, hosted an Obamacare enrollment fair last week.
“The Mexican consulate is a very reliable source of information to the Latino community,” Medrano said. “And therefore when they host their events, yesterday being the health fair, there are several hundred people that show up.”
Although illegal aliens aren’t supposed to be getting government healthcare benefits or subsidized coverage under the Affordable Care Act, President Obama seemed to give these individuals the green light to get covered earlier this month. Obama said that the Healthcare.gov website would not be used to ascertain an individual’s immigration status.
“None of the information that is provided in order for you to obtain health insurance is in any way transferred to immigration services,” Obama said reassuringly at the time.
Medrano said 101 families were represented at the Obamacare signup fest in Brownsville, and roughly three fifths of the representatives spoke with a healthcare counselor. The consular office is helpful “as part of the transition” to “mainstream … America.”
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has been spending a lot of time in Texas recently trying to boost Obamacare enrollment figures. The former Kansas governor has made at least four visits to Texas for Affordable Care Act-related events since Dec. 20, 2013.
“I’m sure [she was aware],” Medrano said when asked if Sebelius knew about the enrollment fair at Mexican consulate in Brownsville. “We put our events in a database that several organizations are connected to at mainly HHS, so they are fully aware of who was here.”
The HHS secretary’s sudden fondness for Texas may have more to do with partisan politics than public health.
It’s no secret that Obama operatives and other Democrats are going all-out to turn the critical Republican-red state of Texas Democrat-blue. Battleground Texas, a well-connected political action committee, was founded by Jeremy Bird, who was national field director for Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign.
Guerrilla videographer James O’Keefe’s group, Project Veritas, paid a visit to Enroll America, which is run by Obama White House alumni. O’Keefe found that Enroll America appeared to be sharing data and working directly with Battleground Texas.
When Brian Pendleton, also of Enroll America, was introduced at a speaking engagement, he called Enroll America “the official group for the DNC [Democratic National Committee].”
And the Obama administration interprets the National Voter Registration Act (a.k.a. the Motor-Voter law) to require that voter registration services be offered when an applicant visits an Obamacare healthcare insurance exchange. Who helped to write the NVRA? Cloward and Piven, of course. President Bill Clinton thanked them by name when they attended the bill signing ceremony in 1993.
In an incredible non-coincidence, a La Mesa, California couple were recently incensed when they received papers to register as Democrats from their health insurance provider Covered California, the state-run agency that implements the Affordable Care Act in the Golden State. They received a letter about voter registration and a registration card already marked with an “x” in the Democratic Party box. The longtime Republicans told local media they were “perplexed as to how the voter registration card pre-marked Democrat ended up in their mailbox.”
Meanwhile, the Mexican consulate in Chicago was the site of an Obamacare enrollment event last month, according to Get Covered Illinois, which is part of Enroll America. The Mexican consulate in Las Vegas has been used for enrollment purposes.
Mexico’s many consular offices in the U.S. have also been used to encourage Mexican nationals in this country to apply for food stamps, as part of a U.S. program that predates the Obama administration.
Stephen Miller, a spokesman for Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama), said “promoting Obamacare at a Mexican consulate raises three major policy concerns.”
One, the possibility that illegal immigrants could fraudulently access federal subsidies; two, that such promotions provide a financial inducement to unlawfully enter the U.S. (or overstay a visa) by offering households headed by illegal immigrants federal subsidies through their legal relatives or dependents; and three, that these activities widen an existing flaw in our legal admissions process by continuing to subvert the principle that those seeking to lawfully enter the U.S. should be financially self-sufficient.
In 2012, ranking members of the Senate Budget, Finance, Judiciary, and Agriculture committees sent correspondence to then-Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. In the letter they protested the fact that both the Department of State and DHS were encouraging would-be welfare recipients to flock to America by excluding ”reliance on almost all governmental welfare programs when evaluating whether an alien is likely to become a public charge.”
“Under your interpretation,” the senators wrote, ”an able-bodied immigrant of working age could receive the bulk of his or her income in the form of federal welfare and still not be deemed a ‘public charge.’” The Immigration and Nationality Act specifically states, they added, that ”[a]n alien who … is likely at any time to become a public charge is inadmissible” to the United States.
