Hawley is all wet and listening to the lying media narrative...Tightening up eligibility and getting the illegals and layabouts off the dole isn't cutting anything.

Also, that has nothing at all to do with what I said in the first place.

So FO.

SPONSOR ILLEGALS….BECAUSE YOU CARE SO MUCH.

Affidavit of Support​

Form I-864, Affidavit of Support under Section 213A of the INA, is a contract an individual signs agreeing to use their financial resources to support the intending immigrant named on the affidavit. The individual who signs the affidavit of support becomes the sponsor once the intending immigrant becomes a lawful permanent resident. The sponsor is usually the petitioner who filed an immigrant petition on behalf of the intending immigrant.

An affidavit of support is a legally enforceable contract, and the sponsor’s responsibility usually lasts until the family member or other individual either becomes a U.S. citizen, or is credited with 40 quarters of work (usually 10 years).

The law concerning the affidavit of support is found in Sections 212(a)(4) and 213A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The provisions are codified in Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 8 CFR 213a.

As GOP weighs Obamacare cuts, the party’s constituents are more likely to use marketplace coverage, poll finds​

Republicans on Capitol Hill are weighing legislation that’s estimated to cut billions of dollars of funding for the Affordable Care Act and cause millions of people to lose their health insurance. Many of their constituents may not be happy about it, polling suggests.

Nearly half, 45%, of adults enrolled in a health plan offered through the ACA insurance marketplace identify as Republicans, according to a new survey by KFF, a nonpartisan group that conducts health policy research.

(More than three-quarters of those Republican ACA users identify as “MAGA” Republicans. Those MAGA Republicans represent 31% of ACA purchasers overall.)

Meanwhile, 35% of Democrats get their health insurance through the ACA, KFF found.

To be clear, the voters I'm referring to are not congressional Repubs voting to screw their own constituents. I'm referring to rank and file Repubs who rely on the ACA for their healthcare because it is not offered by their employer.......if they have one.

But hey, who needs healthcare, or an education for your kids...

First time I read that one, I skimmed through too fast and thought you said flatulent.


My answer was going to be "well, some things we just take for granted".

No they're not...It was passed despite Massie and Rand is only one of the 3 votes that can be lost in the Senate.

Not only have you NFI what you're blabbering about, you cannot even effectively derail from the original point I made...

YOU HAVE NO FUCKING BUSINESS TELLING PEOPLE WHOM YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT'S IN THEIR SELF-INTEREST.

If you're serious about the resolving the cost of health care in this country then go back to a cash system with catastrophic insurance coverage for most people. Start pushing healthier eating habits and lifestyle. Tighten food regulations. Third party health care providers and poor lifestyle habits are what is causing the absurd costs we deal with.
