Chelsea Clinton: Not Only Does My Mom Vow to Not Deport Any Illegal Alien Children, She Thinks It's Important to Sign all Illegals Up for Obamacare, Too

During the Univision Democrat debate from two weeks ago, I was pretty surprised at how immoderate a position Hillary (and Bernie, too) staked out on illegal immigration: Not only did they agree with Jorge Ramos that it was immoral to even have a border, but Hillary vowed she would not deport a single illegal, not one, unless he was further guilty of serious non-immigration crimes.

That's going pretty far. But I don't think the media will question her much about this extremist position, the same as they won't question her about abortion.

Now Chelsea Clinton comes in to assure everyone that her mom thinks it's critical to sign all the illegals up for Obamacare, too.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: "Is she planning on expanding Obamacare as people know it, ACA, to include people who are not fully documented? Because when you get ill, your illness will not ask you if you are a permanent resident or not."

CLINTON: "It's such an important question. Thank you for supporting my mom. My mom has very strong feelings that we must push as quickly as possible for comprehensive immigration reform, and this is a real difference between her's and Senator Sanders' record, she supported comprehensive immigration reform at every possible chance and she was one of the original supporters and sponsors of the DREAM Act. She does not believe that while we are working towards comprehensive immigration reform we should make people wait, like the families you are talking about. Which is why she thinks it's so important to extend the Affordable Care Act to people who are living and working here, regardless of immigration status, regardless of citizenship status."

So not only do we have to accept anyone who slips past our border security as a permanent resident, we also have to subsidize them.

But remember, there's no reason -- none -- apart from pure racism to object to any of this. None. Nothing like simple self-interest, or not wanting to take on the burden of subsidizing all the world's mobile poor.

No, the only reason one could have to object to this is "hating brown poeple."

BTW: I'm updating the sidebar with stuff about the Salah Abdeslam attacks, if you're interested in that story. A lot of little things are coming out, but not enough for a main post.

There's a link to what could be the video of the arrest itself for example, though that might be video of one of the other captured terrorists.

Update: Hillary Rodham has declared the southern border secure, so there's no need for any additional border security.
