With only four more months left in office, President Barack Obama and his Democratic cronies are doing everything they can to transform the United States into a Third World country.
The latest twist in their plan to turn America into a socialist basket case involves giving illegal immigrants “free” health care, while giving nothing to assist the millions of struggling American senior citizens whose hard work and sacrifices built this country.
Democrats have asked the Obama administration for a waiver to allow illegal aliens the right to participate in the California state ObamaCare health exchange, called Covered California.
Immigration patriots say this bill is really just the first half of a trap to get U.S. taxpayers on the hook to paying for illegal immigrants’ welfare. There are millions of illegals in California, but experts say only about 17,000 will actually buy insurance — unless American taxpayers pony up the money to underwrite their policies.
“This is a two-step process: Open the door to the exchanges, but when no one can afford to buy insurance, you come back and add the subsidies,” said Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
You can hardly blame illegals. It’s hard for anyone to afford health care now that it’s become “free” under ObamaCare. Premiums will increase another 13 percent in California this year.
And the people who are the hardest hit are America’s senior citizens — which are being ignored in the state.
“If lawmakers wish to focus on a truly needy group they need look no further than our nation’s ill-served senior citizens,” said Dan Weber, president of the Association of Mature American Citizens. “Under this proposal, every dollar spent to care for individuals who sneak into the country means there is less money available for our own elderly population, who have spent lifetimes paying income taxes and Social Security taxes.”
If you really want to see who Obama, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and their establishment pals care about, compare their love for illegals to how they treat our own seniors.
This year, the elderly on Social Security got no cost-of-living adjustment. That’s only the third time that’s happened in 40 years – and all three times the elderly got stiffed happened under Obama.
Weber said it’s “frustrating” for seniors “that legislators are willing to consider funding healthcare for illegals when they don’t care enough about seniors to provide a meager one-percent Cost of Living benefits increase.”
It’s also frustrating to see the president lie through his teeth, but he’s doing it again and again. When ObamaCare was passed, Obama promised illegal aliens would never benefit from it – something that made Congressman Joe Wilson yell “You lie!” to the president in 2009.
At the time, Wilson was crucified as a deplorable racist. Now, Democrats are admitting he was right, and giving government benefits to illegals was their plan all along.
California’s entire Democratic congressional delegation wrote a letter to Obama administration officials urging them to support it. Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard said that somehow Americans owe this to illegals, because, “Expanding healthcare access for undocumented residents is the moral and ethical thing to do.”
Nine Republicans wrote their own letter, saying that making illegals eligible for ObamaCare would be another broken promise, just like allowing Americans to keep their doctors.
But Democrats are ready and eager to dole out federal handouts. They’ve already let illegal immigrants sign their children up for Medicaid at a cost of $132 million a year, minimum.
But that’s just the beginning of the way they want Americans – especially seniors – to pay for illegal immigrants.
Last September, Illinois Rep. Luis Gutierrez, a Democrat, introduced a bill that lets illegal aliens get health care through the ObamaCare state exchanges “makes them eligible for subsidies if and when they file taxes — just like the rest of us.”
There’s one more wrinkle – 15 million of people who signed up on the ObamaCare exchanges never paid a dime for their insurance. They ended up on Medicaid or state health insurance plans, paid for by U.S. taxpayers, instead. Sooner or later, illegals will be added to those programs by ignoring the law or making them U.S. citizens through a massive amnesty program.
One California Republican warns this one-two punch of amnesty for illegals and giving them socialized medicine is the way liberals will completely destroy our constitutional form of government and replace it with a socialist tyranny.
“If we have amnesty, the breakdown that has happened in California will be the model of what happens to the whole country,” said California Rep. Dana Rohrbacher, a Republican, in 2013.
“The Left is very interested in changing our society and changing the fundamentals of our society,” he said. Liberals are plotting to “erase our individualist and free enterprise system” and turn us into a “nation much more leftist and socialist.”
The liberal politician, like Obama, doesn’t care about illegal immigrants. He just “sees illegal immigration and ‘immigration reform’ as a means to transform our nation.”
Obama and the Democrats want to use illegal immigration to transform America into a high-tax, socialist hellhole like Venezuela.
And they want seniors to pay the price.

California is full of idiots if this free loading idea floats through their legislature unhindered. Enough is enough. Go Trump and when the race is won reign in the state of sanctuary being run by idiots.
Susan California isn’t the only state full of idiots at all. For every idiot California which is the nations second most hated state & New Jersey which is the most hated and least respect state has combined, Arizona(Mexizona) has 40 idiots, the state of Arizona is run by the Dingbat Party, Dingbats run the state & Loser City Tucson is run by the 1870’s Party whose attitude is 1880 & beyond are just street addresses, not years, not decades, but only street addresses. My no good ROTTON birth state of New York which is the 4th most loved state in the nation
has 50,000 idiots for every one idiot in our nations two most hated states. I lived in California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Hawaii,
Illinois,Delaware, Virginia & Arizona. Out of all 9 states that I have lived in, Arizona is the very worst states that I have ever lived in, I’m
in the very long, slow tedious process of selling everything I don’t want,don’t need in the damned SH&THOLE LOSER CITY TUCSON METROPOLITIAN AREA, once that is all done, I’m moving where I will be respected as a Senior Citizen & Veteran, be far enough from the Loser City Tucson metro area. I ended up there because of the damned Bill Clinton administrations base closures. It’s a terrible disgrace that Veterans, our military & senior citizens are NO CLASS CITIZENS in our own country.
Trump is the only choice for PRESIDENT who will make America strong and safe and secure and prosperous and GREAT Again!
What can one expect from the land of Brown, fruits and nuts – we were smart enough to escape 23 years ago and thank God everyday we made the decision.
I hope that you didn’t move to Mexizona which is a million times worse than California. My no good ROTTON birth state of New York is 100 trillion times worse. Once I have everything I’m selling in the Loser City Tucson metro area, I’m going to 8,400 miles from there, and be away from the very worst state that I have ever lived in.
Christopher, no Northern Nevada and thank God only a few more months of “Dingy Harry” Reid the workout master (not) – I guess it goes to prove that everyplace has it’s good and bad attributes.
That’s a much better choice than where I ended up because of all the military base closures that went on during draft dodger,Sleazeball Bill Clinton’s administration, I ended up in the damned SH@THOLE LOSER CITY TUCSON metro area.
One of my former Supervisors where I worked at at DMAFB tried to get a job back in Nevada, he finally made it back to Nevada when he retired. Tesla company was smart when they picked the State of Nevada to build their auto assembly & battery plants. The damned, dumb,stupid idiots of the 1870’s Party I. loser City Tucson deliberately, intentionally and on purpose drove away Tesla from locating & building a plant there, the same 1870’s party drove away Spring training for MLB, drove away 2 minor league baseball teams, drove away 2 college bowl games, drove away Slim Fast Foods, Nabisco,Lockheed-Martin, Texas Instruments, Con Cor Plastics, Citi Bank, Astra Zeneca, and many other business & events that brought jobs & money to the city.
Christopher …
. Love N. Nevada but am selling our beautiful place there so we can move back to Hawaii. …
. Hope you find a better place.
There should only be RNC and the DNC running for the Presidency. I watched the other group (two idiots) last night.
They can’t even talk like mature men, and they wont to run our country.Idiots. sick.
Mari! Don’t worry about that, the damned 2 party dictatorship, the whinny,cry baby,spoiled brat,constantly complaining NON VOTERS that have never voted at all for NO REASON and never will vote at all for NO DAMNED reason, but will complain in public, point their damned fingers at the political corruption and the media who only wants the DNC & RNC be the only ones, and they rely on their best friends, the DAMNED NON VOTERS that do 99 9/10% of the constant complaining will see to it that the damned 2 party dictatorship runs everything.
Vote for Darrell Castle and Scott Bradley of the Constitution Party. They are for The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the USA And The Bill of Rights. The shrinking of the federal government. When a state has corrupt people campaign to vote the out. Trump and Clinton both owe the American people an apology. Clinton for her record as a politician. Trump as his record as a lobbyer. As a Lobbyer he took our representation away from us. It does not matter if it was for his business. Atropenuers’ job is running their business. Politicians’ job is representing us. Both are wrong and owe America an apology.
Wrong you have corruption and third parties are a solution. Just because the third parties of ?Green Party and Libertarian get attention does not mean third parties are all half cocked. Did you see The Constitution Party’s Candidate Darrell Castle? He is logical and intelligent. runs on the Constitution and Bill of rights and Declaration of independence.
The US of A should concentrate on taking care of LEGAL citizens; the others should be shipped back where they came from. Or since GITMO is going to be empty thanks to Obumma, put em there
There are so many elderly that do not get this information or do not understand just what is happening. They don’t have computers or most don’t have cell phones. If they do most just wants one you can make calls on and that is it. This type of information needs to get to all elderly no matter what party they are on . This could make a great difference. I am 67 years old disabled from cancer and COPD. I am doing what I can as far as talking to people . But we need much more.
This story highlights my problems with Obama. Hard working, law abiding citizens have to pay the bills while lazy, law-breaking illegals are allowed to mooch off the taxpayers. Social Security and Medicare have enough financial issues of their own. The government should be taking care of our senior citizens. The illegals should be sent back to whatever country they came from.
They have the money for all these illegals, but no money left for Social Security benefits!!! Who is being cheated? We are!!! When was the l;ast time we had a raise??? I am FUMING!
Gather up all the illegals and get them the hell out of America. If they don’t have proper documentation, ship them out. It is and will continue to hurt the American people that have worked hard all their lives and the governments not helping them. But till that Muslim loving ass of a president gets out of office, the United States of America is screwed.
It would be cheaper to hunt them down and send them back then to keep giving them benefits, so lets do it NOW. By the way send the POTUS back also
JOHN …
, If they get no hand outs they will most likely self deport.
Time to get rid of that DAmNED PRESS 1 FOR ENGLISH, PRESS 2 FOR SPANISH, that has been going on more than long enough. I’m
sick & tired of all of this damned PRESS 1 FOR ENGLISH, PRESS 2 FOR SPANISH BS.
Illegal aliens deserve nothing…..they are ILLEGAL!! Try sneaking into Mexico….you’d never get a chance to apply for any “welfare” (if they have any)….you’d be in prison. We are really sick of seeing our tax money go to support these law-breakers…illegal aliens. Hoping for a Trump victory on November 8, to save our country for American citizens!!!
Nobody ever questions the “FAMILY REUNIFICATION” program where as the individual immigrants are allowed to bring over a HUNDRED relatives into the US each!!!! That includes Parents, Grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins……They get SOCIAL SECURITY and anything they want or need. Our Politicians have gone outright Friggin Mad and Corrupt!!!
Of course our sleeping MASSES of Citicens do nothing about it until the invaders are running the Country and we all are made slaves.
Read History of the World and you will see how Country’s were lost due to Massive ” IMMIGRATION” Leagal and “ILLEGAL”!!!
obama wants the illegals in the USA for the almighty VOTE for demos. He wants a one party system. Then the illegals he could care less after the votes. Most of them will be sent back home.READ SAUL ALINSKY’S THEORIES and you will find out what obama and hiliary is up to for this country. They are both very evil and have wanted this country, the USA destroyed. Senior citizens don’t vote for any demo’s as they are socialist/communist.
There’s only one way to stop this lunacy !!! Come November vote Democrats out of office now and forever !! TRUMP / PENCE 2016 !!
This is why Medicare and Social Security are going broke the liberals want to give it to people that have not worked for and paid into it. They call it Medicaid and Welfare but all they are doing is stealing the money from Medicare and Social Security to pay for it.
This is the same as when they tried socialism under Roosevelt. Most everyone has forgotten some of the things that were done then. We cold get the good old socialist tax rates if we get Hillary elected.The tax rate schedule is copied directly from the tax rate schedule that was still in effect through 1950. See if you want to go there again. We had to elect a Republican,
(Eisenhower), to begin lowering the Federal taxes. And Like with lower taxes the economy began growing again and the budget was balanced. He also built the Interstate System without having to raise your taxes.
So if you want socialism and another 7 year depression vote for the Clintons. I’m 85 years old and won’t have to pay for the stupidity anyway.

I have to add part of an article I read online earlier below:
By Jason Stutman
Written Saturday, September 17, 2016
You can call me self-hating all you want, but I’m just going to put it out there today: My generation is, unequivocally, the most entitled and selfish group of individuals in the history of man.
Yeah, I said it: millennials are a spoiled group of finger-pointing, thumb-sucking crybabies who wouldn’t understand the value of free market economics and personal responsibility if Milton Friedman rose from the grave, zombie-walked to their houses, and bit off a chunk of their flesh.
Millennials don’t just believe college is useful for certain people in certain fields anymore; they believe it is a natural-born right. On the seventh day of creation, God apparently did not rest; he handed out a bunch of free liberal arts degrees instead.
Millennials don’t just want taxpayers to pay for their education, though; they want them to pay for four years of drinking camp with their friends. According to the University of Wisconsin, the average college student spends about $500 a year on alcohol alone, which works out to more than 10% of student loans.
A recent and national Reason-Rupe survey found that 53% of Americans under 30 have a favorable view of socialism compared to less than a third of people over 30. Gallup found that an astounding 69% of millennials say they’d be willing to vote for a “socialist” candidate for president, while national exit polls from the democratic primaries indicate up to 80% of young Democrats had voted for “democratic socialist” Bernie Sanders.
Meanwhile, a dozen eggs in Venezuela are selling for $150.
As for millennial narcissism, this, too, is both very real and scary. According to the American Freshman Survey, which has been conducted every year for the last half century, 80% of survey respondents now rank their “drive to succeed” above average (a mathematical impossibility), while more students than in the entire 47-year history of the survey now consider themselves “gifted.”
No, this is not some new brand of personal “confidence” — it’s an epidemic built on delusions of grandeur and dangerous fantasies of self-importance and contribution.
George I am glad to see at least you are awake and Vigilant ! All the sleeping Masses will realize all they have Lost when we are VENEZUELA !
Millennials have the extremes in my experience, I live in a community with 2 state colleges in 8 miles of each other, Many millennials are brainwashed at college and public school, but are willing to learn real life. Talk with them with respect and accept they can choose to be wrong, many will listen. I’m not lying!
The writer needs to do a little reaserach.
It is the republicans who are trying to screw over the seniors.
The House has already passed a bill to privatize Social Security. This would set up an account, held by wall Street. It is up to the individual to manage the account, to the extent the allowed funds would allow. There would be money put into it, you manage it, and if the market sinks, or you are a lousy manager, tough luck.
They are also trying to voucherize Medicare. They give you a credit for far less than you would need to buy insurance, if you can get it, and shove you out the door.
In either case, the seniors are screwed.
Follow up on my comment above.
Just be thankful for the democrats in the senate for blocking both pieces of elephant crap, and for President Obama to back up the dems with a veto if necessary.
grover, the issue about that bill it true they want to privatize SS but in all reality it will not happen because that would mean every single person that has worked and paid into SS would be owed at least what they put into it and with the baby boomers you would be talking at least 600,000 per person (and that would be on the low side of the figure) so if they did that then I can see the white house and pentagon come crashing down, just like it would if they run out of SS, this country would go completely ape-shit (Why do you think they have not shut SS down yet?)
The government knows this country is the what about me attitudes and that is the mind set of anyone in this country that has paid into it for so long (that is my money and I want it back attitude)
As for immigrants that are here illegally I am sure that many of people think the same way and that there should be no benefits to any illegals and the bottom line is our government should be taking care of all legal citizens and once everyone is taken care of properly then they can pick and choose who else to help.
CA and their political BS is the reason the state is bankrupted and the idiots in other states are following suit which should be enough to want any sane person want to vote them out
Actually, I wish I had that choice since the government has proven themselves incompetent. I advise anyone who has the choice to do so, Since, the clock is ticking before Social Security is run out of funds because of the politicians used it as a fund for their whims and short comings. Along with baby boomers did not have the children they needed to replace their generation and the system never compensated for this. Baby boomers are newly retired or later retirees or will soon. It was also based on the fact that people usually did not live long past age 60. It is considered a young death if a person dies at age 60. Now we do because of better healthcare knowledge and ability that goes with it. Use general funds the reimburse out seniors promised money. And vote out bad politicians. If you do not believe me look up the facts yourself.
The truth finally comes to light. The Democrats are buying votes. I have known that for several elections. Wake up people and see just how crooked this election is leaning. It is based on a bunch of lies. If you do not believe, check Hillary’s record. Her lying record is so long you will never believe it when you see them listed together. Vote Trump to get some truth into this election.
Ha! Ha! income taxes and Social Security taxes did you forget we have been paying Medicare since 1965. I personally am in that bracket. I still work a full time Job at 68 yrs young and pay for medical insurance, medicare, income taxes and Social Security. Had serious Hospital procedures since last November and Medicare didn’t cover a penny. What my insurance thru my employment that is subsidized by my employer didn’t pay I’ve had to. Talk about a slap in the face. The programs we as senior citizens have paid into our entire lives are poor at the very least mainly because of the misappropriation of these funds by our elected officials who are not subjected to the same standards as the rest of the american people. They have their retirement and medical all taken care of, why do you think they could care less about the rest of us. This is thanks to all our politicians. Before they are done they will give everything away we have worked our entire lives to preserve. GO TRUMP SHAKE THE TREE AS HARD AS POSSIBLE!!!
Ron, I didn’t forget about medicare , medicad, or the fact that it was Kennedy that reduced our Social Security payments by adding 6,000,000 new members that had paid in anything just to buy votes for his second tem. Someone took care of part of the problem, but Johnson was worse. I am 85 so I have lived through a several administration that have made promises but voted differently once elected. I also have to pay approximately $13,000.00 per year for Medicare and the supplement policies to pay what Medicare doesn’t cover. My total insurance was less when I paid it all without Medicare. I must be paying the premium
for at least one of those first 52% that don’t have to pay. I understand your problem because I have had to deal with major medical bills ever since We were run over by a tractor trailer back in 1962. After paying $13,000.00 annually for insurance I still usually have 1t least $17,000.0 in deductions for income taxes. My prescription medicines have gone up approximately 400% since the government started the drug program. I am afraid it is going to get worse for you if changes are not made in the government. I am fortunate that I can still make a living trading stocks since the Social Security check does not completely pay the medical bills.
Just remember tat the only thing that has helped the dollar maintain some value is because it has “Reserve Currency status.”
That is going to change in September 30 when most of the world powers meet to vote on the new “Reserve Currency”. Expect the Dollar to lose at least 40% of its value on the world market as the pound sterling did when Britain lost that status. Most of the people were not born then.
You need to keep telling people this so they can wake up. Sept 30th is here!
If in fact this is true then I blame the media and so-called journalist for not bringing this to the local papers and TV channels on a daily basis as head line news. But that won’t happen because everyone is in it for the money and all the so-called journalist would be out of jobs because even thou the freedom of speech is the 1st issue in the constitution they only cover and say what the corporate big wigs and government allow them to say. So I have ZERO faith in the papers or news media.
That is why I say ” If in fact this article is true” then the papers and media should be head lining this every day to get it in everyone’s head that this country in a tail spin and with our blatant corrupt gov’t and the piece of crap CIC along with the (to many names to call her) Hillary this country is all but doomed to hit the ground extremely hard from the tail spin we are in.
With the way they are treating American citizens it wouldn’t surprise me if our own country decided to try and over throw our own government because you can only push so far before getting pushed back
First of all, they do not have morals or ethics, that is foreign to them. The SS fund was set up to be a fund that was not to be included (or touched) for any other purpose. They have dipped into the fund, to fund their wars, and who knows what else that we do not know about.
We DO NOT OWE THE ILLEGALS ONE SINGLE PENNY, THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO SS EITHER. What about the word ILLEGAL do they not understand, Obama is determined to cram this down our throats, whether we like it or not. The so called POTUS may be in for a big surprise. I am also in my sixties, have worked all my life also, who does he think he is that he can issue his E.O’S and that we will pay attention. He needs to be tried for Treason, god knows he has violated every oath and law on the books. The American People are tired and have just about reached the end of our ropes, So don’t push the button Mr Soetoro… Do not under estimate the power of the people. We do not buy your junk, not for a minute.
Just continue to push and see how that will work out for ya… If you like the Illegals so much, build your self a big wall around D.C. and you and all your buddies can take care of them yourselves…
IT COST ME $1200.00 AT A DENTIST FOR A BAD MOUTH INFECT TOOTH, NOT COVERED BY RETIREMENT MEDICARE FOR SENIORS………..YET, THE DAMNED YOUNG FOREIGNOR, AT THE SAME DENTIST, FULLY COVERED UNDER MEDICAID PAID NOTHING……….THIS IS REAL “NATIONAL BULLSHIT” AGAINST AMERICANS!!!!!! PISSED OFF!!!!!
I agree with you there entirely AW, I have served in the Navy-reserves from 3/29/1972 to 6/26/1972, active duty Navy from 6/27/1972 to 1/16/1987, worked Federal civil service from 3/10/1987 to 8/31/2012. I bought my military time back after my late wife of 31 years who was from the Philippines so that I could retire. I have paid into Social Security, worked for, served our country faithfully,loyally,dedicated, flag waving stars & stripes gung ho, patriotic time of over 40 years, what di it get me as a veteran & a senior citizen, it got me a slap in the face, lied to, stabbed in the back, punished for nothing, and my retirement is taxed while we have that damned POS white trash B@&CH Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton who is a double dipped that has 2 tax free retirement pension, and her damned POS white trash, draft dodger, communist, Sleazeball husband former Figurehead Bill Clinton has a tax free pension for being Figurehead of our country, plus 3 tax free retirement pensions from the state of Arkansas, and their damned so called Clinton Fpundation is their welfare, the damned Clinton’s pay no taxes at all. I’m voting for Donald J. Trump, I’m sick & tired of being a NO CLASS CITIZEN while these damned illegal aliens from Iran, Syria, Mexico(garbage class), the PLO get every damned thing they want on a solid gold platter,child our own Senior Citizens, Veterans get only SH@T for all of the faithful, loyal,dedicated years we have paid into Social Security, Medicare. If HKRAKC is our next Figurehead, our once great country will be finished, completely destroyed. My draft number was called on March 27, 1972, I had to go, while that damned POS white trash SOAB Bill Clinton didn’t have to at all.
FOREIGNORS, IMMIGRANTS, NON-CITIZENS SHOULD NOT BE ENTITLED TO SOCIAL SECURITY OR WELFARE……..WE AMERICANS PAID INTO IT.
I am 73 years old & have watched our government do absolutely nothing to enforce our immigration laws for most of my adult life. The bill that allowed ILLEGALS to participate in the Medicaid program was signed by Richard Nixon. If you recall, Marco Rubio wanted to give them free college educations, which some colleges are already doing & now Obama wants to give 14 million amnesty. This has been one of my pet peeves forever!! Both parties are guilty in my opinion, but I’m voting Trump!
Defund AARP since they do senior abuse, Im member of AMAC.
War on seniors=Votes for Trump.
If the illegals were denied the freebees there would be a lot less illegals in the states, they are not citizens and are not entitled to free benefits that the american people have paid for
