                   ILLEGALS AND THE HEALTH CARE BILL

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, the $1 trillion government will take 
care of us all health care bill will allow illegals to get benefits. 
Every year, 10 million illegals use fake or stolen Social Security 
cards to work here. The Government Accountability Office reports over a 
15-year period, 9 million people even used the same Social Security 
number. It was 000-00-0000. How is that for policing the system?
  This is the same inept, goofy program that will be used to monitor 
citizenship under the health care bill. No one has to even show a valid 
photo ID to sign up. Can't do that, it might hurt someone's feelings. 
There is no real enforcement to prevent illegals from receiving health 
care that citizens and legal immigrants must pay for; all they need is 
a name and fake Social Security number. Isn't that lovely.
  Once again, Americans will continue to pay for illegals who 
disrespect the law. So now Americans and illegals will stand in line 
side by side together for that expensive rationed health care.
  And that's just the way it is.
