Speaker, I personally represent San Antonio, San
Marcus, Lockhart, and Austin families that already face barriers to
getting their children medical coverage, and adding an additional
requirement just means they are that much less likely, in the event of
an emergency, to be able to get coverage. We need to prevent fraud. This is not the way to do it. What we need is comprehensive immigration reform to deal with these
immigration issues just like the Senate approved 4 years ago--make
improvements on it; debate it; consider it--sink this sorry piece of
legislation, try to raise up the antifraud provisions and the
comprehensive immigration reform that we so desperately need, and to
grow this economy.
