Evangelical Leader Mum On Whether Health Care Reform Should Cover Illegal Immigrants
Staff
While the National Association of Evangelical Leaders have issued a new resolution calling for compassionate immigration reform, the organization’s President, Leith Anderson, was less clear if the NAE believes the recently proposed reforms to the health care system should apply to illegal immigrants.
“The [National Association of Evangelicals] has not taken a specific position,” said NAE President Leith Anderson during a press conference Thursday. “We are not specifically espousing that undocumented immigrants be included in any health care reform.” (0:23)

Why direct your anger at illegal aliens. They are just responding to jobs being offered to them by American businesses who are eager for cheap labor that doesn't require them to pay social security, health care, or workman's comp. Plus they can hire them for less than minimum wage. Don't give them paid vacations , holidays or sick pay.
If you don't like illegal immigrants...jail those that hire them.
The way it is now....It's like punishing drug addicts but giving drug dealers a "get out of jail free card."
