Barack Obama’s Executive Action on immigration provides incentives for businesses to hire illegal immigrants over American citizens

  Last week the President used Executive Action to announce what amounts to amnesty for up to 5 millions of people who were previously in this country illegally.

  There is some good news however:

President Obama’s temporary amnesty, which lasts three years, declares up to 5 million illegal immigrants to be lawfully in the country and eligible for work permits, but it still deems them ineligible for public benefits such as buying insurance on Obamacare’s health exchanges.

  That is good news indeed, but would you be surprised if I stated that all is not what it seems? I did not think so. For you see there is a loophole in Obamacare which provides an incentive for businesses to hire these newly minted legal immigrants over American citizens.

  Here is more: 

But under the Affordable Care Act, that means businesses who hire them won’t have to pay a penalty for not providing them health coverage — making them $3,000 more attractive than a similar native-born worker, whom the business by law would have to cover.

The loophole was confirmed by congressional aides, and drew condemnation from those who said it put illegal immigrants ahead of Americans in the job market.

“If it is true that the president’s actions give employers a $3,000 incentive to hire those who came here illegally, he has added insult to injury,” said Rep. Lamar Smith, Texas Republican. “The president’s actions would have just moved those who came here illegally to the front of the line, ahead of unemployed and under-employed Americans.”

  What more needs to be said?!
