The Senate's bipartisan immigration working group split along party lines during a contentious budget vote to prevent illegal immigrants who receive legal status from receiving federal health benefits.
The Senate early Saturday morning defeated the amendment to the budget resolution which would have put the Senate on record as opposing access to health care under Medicaid or the Affordable Care Act for undocumented immigrants who get a green card.
The amendment, which failed 43 to 56, was offered by Senate Budget ranking member Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.
All Democrats -- including gang members Dick Durbin of Illinois, Bob Menendez of New Jersey, Charles E. Schumer of New York and Michael Bennet of Colorado -- opposed the amendment. They were joined by Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska. All other Republicans -- including immigration negotiators Marco Rubio of Florida, John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona -- supported the amendment.

And it'll also be just fine if the illegals don't or can't pay, just like now.

Again, once the US is firmly suborned + "borderless" under anti-Sovereign, anti-Constitutional, anti-Democratic, + anti-Electoral OWG + Global Fed Union(s) + higher?, OWG AMERIKA WILL LOOK BACK ON THIS WID FONDNESS/NOSTALGIA AS THE "GOOD OLE' DAYS" PRE-OWG WHEN THE 11-22 MILYUHN NUMBER AS PER ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION WAS "LOW" COMPARED TO THE FUTURE.
Our pre-OWG Govt's answer is NOT to seal the border or stop illegal immigration, but to stop law-abiding US Citizens-Residents from protecting themselves from criminals whom sneak in wid same.
YOU KNOW - US CITIZEN-RESIDENT RELIANCE + DEPENDENCY ON THE BIG GOVT THAT ROUTINELY DIVERTS SORELY NEEDED $$$ FROM POLICE + FIRST RESPONSE SERVICES.

There is something about all this which does not ring true.

DHS seems to subscribe to the 'practice with what you will shoot with' philosophy. Good philosophy if you get to practice very little and/or do not need to worry about cost.

Local law enforcement is just like everyone else. They have had four long, painful, frustrating years to watch this fellow in action and stock up. If you didn't see this coming, sorry, you're not smart enough to carry a weapon anyway.
[DENVER.CBSLOCAL] A proposal to repeal the crime of adultery from Colorado's books has been signed into law.
The legislation that Gov. John Hickenlooper signed Friday removes what Democratic bill sponsors say is an outdated 19-century statute. The bill also would repeal the rarely-used law of contributing to "sexual immorality" by providing a place, such as a hotel room, for unmarried people to have sex.

...an outdated 19-century statute.
Actually it goes back much further. However, the hip modern urbanists don't have any need for the the old basis of civilization. BTW, its still covered and acted upon in the UCMJ. If you want to destroy unit cohesion, just let the boys and girls jump beds without consequence.
1.You shall have no other gods before me.
2.You shall not make yourself a graven image.
3.You shall not take the name of the Lord in vain.
4.Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5.Honor your father and mother.
6.You shall not kill.
7.You shall not commit adultery.
8.You shall not steal.
9.You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10.You shall not covet.

For me, enforcing 6-9 are the ones that should be part of gov'ts mandate.
Granted that there are some nuances and definitions and appropriate punishments that need to be firmed up, but, if gov't is going to be involved in any way shape or form in the institution of marriage then gov't should have a say in what happens if you go shtupping around.
The libertarian in me often asks in this day and age if marriage should be purely a religious function with no gov't intervention at all. This would mean no laws of any kind could even recognize the state of being married for any purpose. From 18 on you are an individual and treated as such, period. No tax benefits or penalties no say in whether marriage is two, 10 or 20 people, etc.
Then my rational, historically aware side kicks in and I give up.

Everybody's against this sort of archaic law until it's his/her spouse caught with his/her pants down.

All I can say is, the libertarians sure enjoy paying increased taxes for EBT and AIC.

My great-granddad got caught under a neighbor lady's house by her husband. My great-grandmother got to raise her kids as a widow. The grand jury found the neighbor man justified in the killing.

TFSN,
Two things:
1) when I use libertarian it's mostly a short hand for limited gov't that minds its own business not mine or yours.
2) I know of many AIC things but none that would be relevant, which did you mean?
Three, three questions:
3) since when do libertarians enjoy paying taxes for food stamps? Or, my guess, did you forget the /sarc tag? 8^)
I'm afraid that you're bluntness only accounts for some of the bankruptcy.
I certainly agree that the safety net is a part of the problem, but I'm afraid that the larger part involves all the dishonest, rentseeking, fascism loving politicians and "business" men seeking to get rich.
The waste of tax funds to feather the nests of the elite has always been the biggest problem. Honestly done with an eye to value the safety net would be affordable.
Unfortunately politicians can't do big things honestly because the temptations for all around are too powerful. That's the problem with big gov't. The bigger the gov't the bigger the rewards for those who can game the system dishonestly. There's a reason that DC is the richest and fastest growing city.

The youth today view God as just some old white guy completely out of touch with the norms of 2013 society.
Pretty much I suspect the same attitude Moses encounterd when he came down from Mount Sinai with the TEN Commandments. The people had revised the laws that governed their society to justify their own sins and lust for the ways of the flesh.
As people today fall away from their faith in God, and the teachings of the Bible, there is great pressure on the new Pope to revise Catholic Doctrine to accept what today has become the norms of modern society.
Moses did not write the Ten Commandments. He was only the messenger.
The Pope has no authority from God to revise Bible teachings or religious doctrine that has stood the test of time for more than 2000 years. He is only a messenger.
I am neither a Catholic nor a devout Christian. But I view it as only the greatest of all hubris that any man would consider himself so all knowing or powerful that he could revise the laws of God or expect the Creater of All Things to adhere to, or accept, a new version of morality.

The commandment actually is, "You shall not seethe a kid in its mother's milk," Bright Pebbles. The meat and milk rules developed over two thousand years or so as a way to ensure that no pious Jew accidentally broke the actual law.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
