The Demon for All Seasons: Trump Health Care Plan Takes Aim at “Illegal Immigration”

Donald Trump’s latest health care reform proposal, which calls for the repeal of President Obama’s health care plan, takes aim at “illegal immigrants.”  It calls for

“Enforcing immigration laws, eliminating fraud and waste and energizing our economy will relieve the economic pressures felt by every American. It is the moral responsibility of a nation’s government to do what is best for the people and what is in the interest of securing the future of the nation.

Providing healthcare to illegal immigrants costs us some $11 billion annually. If we were to simply enforce the current immigration laws and restrict the unbridled granting of visas to this country, we could relieve healthcare cost pressures on state and local governments.”

The latest version of Trump’s health care plan was posted on his website yesterday.
