                         OBAMACARE AND AMNESTY

  (Mr. FLEMING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. FLEMING. Mr. Speaker, what do you get when you add the Senate's 
amnesty immigration bill to ObamaCare?
  More people losing their jobs.
  ObamaCare mandates that employers with 50 or more full-time employees 
provide government-approved health insurance or pay a penalty. Many 
businesses with around 50 employees already say they'll cut some full-
timers to part-time positions to avoid this penalty.
  But that's not all.
  The Senate immigration bill would give legal status to about 11 
million people who have come here illegally, and employers could hire 
any of those 11 million without counting them toward the ObamaCare 
mandate. So employers who are trying to make ends meet and balance a 
budget are being told by their government that they can save money by 
unloading full-time, hardworking American citizens and by replacing 
them with immigrants who are here on a provisional status.
  I know my colleagues on the other side will say we should just add 
all 11 million, but I think that's the wrong thing to do. Let's repeal 
ObamaCare.
