Vindicated: Rep. Joe Wilson was right about illegal aliens and Obamacare...

Don't expect to see this story in the mainstream media.

Via Breitbart:
In 2009, Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) apologized profusely to the White House for shouting, “You lie!” as President Barack Obama told Congress that Obamacare would not cover illegal immigrants. Now it would appear that the White House owes Wilson an apology, as Covered California–the flagship of state Obamacare exchanges–is recruiting illegal (“undocumented”) immigrants to sign up for the program, regardless of their eligibility.
The Covered California website includes a special page entitled: “No temas si eres indocumentado/a y quieres inscribir a tu familia en un seguro médico” (“Fear not if you are undocumented and want to enroll your family in health insurance”). The website goes on to explain that information shared with Obamacare cannot be shared with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). It does not explicitly warn that illegal aliens are ineligible.
“According to the laws and implementing regulations,” the website says, “the information provided by individuals for coverage can not be used for purposes other than ensuring the efficient functioning of the insurance market ( Covered California) or administration of the program, or to verify certain eligibility determinations including verification of the immigration status of these people.”

Congressional Democrat: Censor Joe Wilson or People With White Hoods Will be Riding Through the Countryside

From the video:
If I were a betting man, I would say that it instigated more racist sentiment, feeling that it's OK. You don't have to bury it now. You can bring it out and talk about it fully. So, I guess we will probably have folks putting on white hoods and white uniforms again and riding through the countryside intimidating people. That's the logical conclusion if this kind of attitude is not rebuked.

How anyone with two brain cells to rub together could come to that "logical conclusion" is beyond understanding.
