Washington (CNN) - Disagreement among Democrats over immigration language in the health care bill is complicating efforts by House Democratic leaders to round up votes needed to pass a bill by this weekend. Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus are pushing back against the addition of a provision to the bill that would bar illegal immigrants from buying health insurance using their own funds. This measure is already included in the Senate Finance Committee's version of the bill and is backed by the White House. The House Democrats' bill already includes requirements for immigrants to verify their citizenship before getting federal subsidies to buy health insurance. But some conservative Democrats have indicated they support the Senate language.

Obamas socialist policies are wrong on health care, illegal immigration, cap and trade, military directions, government takeover of private businesses and his other programs to do every for all of us like it or not.
Again 'We the People' will hold on long enough to kick their asses ot in 2010 and 2012.

Well, several months ago I predicted it would be over for the Democraps. By August, and no later than Jan. Pelosi, the delusional communist slut will only anger the people even more with her communist bill. It's not going to make it any further than the house. I'm more than glad it will decimate the left. And, even more glad they're going to vote on it to prove they're insane. It's now or never and that dog knows it. And it still isn't going to work. Those people are the best thing that could have ever possibly happened to the right.

Hopefully, it's a stumbling and fall flat on their faces block.

The faster we can vote them out of the positions they hold, the better off we'll be.
