Congressman: ‘Arrogant’ Obama Repeating 9/11 Mistake
‘Reflects the type of attitude that is a big minus for our country’

President Obama is telling immigrant families that those who are here legally are eligible for Obamacare, and none of them need to worry because no health-care information will be shared with immigration officials.
It’s the sort of breakdown in communication between federal agencies that led to one of the greatest calamities in American history, the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, said Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif.
Obama made the statement last week in a forum with prominent Hispanic media outlets, sponsored by the likes of Univision and Telemundo. One of the questions dealt with concerns by legal immigrants that signing up for health care through the new laws would expose the illegal status of family members.
“It’s true that the undocumented are not eligible. That’s how the law was written,” Obama said. “None of the information that is provided in order for you to obtain health insurance is in any way transferred to immigration services.”
Rohrabacher, a longtime Republican member of Congress, says this is the latest evidence of why Obama’s approach to immigration reform is fatally flawed and provides additional reasons why Obama may not be fit to serve the remainder of his term. Rohrabacher is a fierce opponent of the the immigration reforms being promoted in Congress. He is disgusted, but not surprised, by Obama’s statement.
“This is consistent with the president’s commitment to the law and to the Constitution. We have him over and over again stating that he’s going to do what he wants. Whether or not this is consistent with the Constitution isn’t even part of his consideration,” said Rohrabacher, who noted that the job of government is to enforce the laws.
“We actually hire these people, including the president, in order to enforce the laws that have been created by ‘We the People’ through the Congress. Obviously he thinks he can ignore some laws and enforce others,” he said. “This is the first president that has been so blatant.”
