Speech #1140002791

I helped write the ACA. I am proud of that. There is nothing in the ACA or the Presidents executive order that treats people who have temporary status under DACA differently than U.S. citizens for the purposes of triggering the employer mandate. The whole purpose of this amendment is to play into fears that. by allowing immigrants to come out of the shadows and work legally and pay taxes. you are undermining American workers. That is a lie. Admit it. Nothing in this ACA incentivizes employers to hire undocumented immigrants over American citizens. In fact. just the opposite. as you heard the speaker before me. Specifically. it prohibits employers from firing a citizen employee because they receive a premium tax credit.
