Chicago's Illegal Alien Lobby Getting Millions to Enroll Immigrants in Obamacare

State of Illinois grant notice which reveals that Chicago's chief lobby group for illegal aliens, The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) and a number of ancillary immigrant lobby groups are getting millions of dollars in grants to enroll immigrants in the Obamacare socialized medicine scheme.

The feds are handing out big wads of your tax cash to hire "In-person counselors" and "Navigators" at $13 an hour to run around and sign up people for the Obamacare program. They've designated a gaggle of "Community Action Agencies" to hire the counselors and navigators.

Here's a list of the Chicago area immigrant groups and the amount of federal cash they'll be raking in:

Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights -- $1,250,000.00
Illinois Migrant Council -- $385,000.00
Pilsen-Little Village Community Mental Health Center-- $650,000.00
El Hogar del Nino -- $225,000.00
Asian Health Coalition -- $115,897.33
Alivio Medical Center -- $66,560.00

ICIRR has been the chief pimp operation for illegal aliens in the Chicago area for the past 25 years.

They pushed through the "sanctuary city" and "sanctuary county" measures, whereby the cops and the Cook County jail can't cooperate with ICE to deport illegal alien suspects that they apprehend.

They pushed through the so-called "Dream Act," giving in-state college tuition to illegal aliens.

And they've been the rabble rousers behind all the noisy rallies of leftists demanding "rights" for the squatters who snuck into our country.

And now Obama & Co. have deputized them and are giving them cash to go out and sign up bodies for his medical scheme.

Obama and his allies, of course, have proposed another scheme to amnesty the 11 to 20 million illegal squatters here. They have assured us that the amnestied illegals won't be able to cash in on his free medical scheme for 8 years.

If you believe that, I have 2014 Cubs World Series tickets I can let you have -- cheap.

Any Illinois citizens On UHH ? Your taxes at work........

I've been a Cubs fan for many years, Gitzo! Go Cubs! :thumbup:

Penny MG Loc: Fresno, Texas

Wow...this is crazy. I bet that most (ordinary, not politicians) people in Illinois are not aware of this. If the liberals want to support this then THEY should....out of only THEIR OWN pockets. The government should NOT be giving grants for this!!!!

Danilo.......I'm married to a HUGE Cubs fan, and an even bigger Bears fan; she just received her "official" Bears white, orange and blue sneakers ($35 yet) from the Bradford Exchange; (who ever that is); tomorrow she goes to her "fingernail guy" to have her normally dark red nails, changed to the "official" white, orange and blue Bears "color scheme"; Thursday it's off to Crawfordsville to catch the Amtrac up to Chicago Union Station, where she will no doubt "show off" her Bears sneakers and her "Bears nails" before boarding the Metra out to Naperville to visit her niece, (whose son is the ONLY USAF F-22A Raptor pilot in the whole family.) She was actually considering getting on the floor and doing a somersault yesterday, after the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Bear's arch rival Greenbay Packers. (She was forced to scrub the somersault though, as she had not yet disconnected from her IV bag, doing her second dialysis treatment of the day.)

I hear you RF, and I couldn't agree more! Even though my wife and I are both staunch Republicans, her late father was born and raised on the same block with the first Mayor Richard Daley, belonged to the same Parish, and "hung out" with him until he became a Chicago policeman, and Dickie Daley went off to college; not too many years later, after my late father-in-law become a Chicago police detective, his boyhood "chum" became Chicago's Mayor; Talk about a political party becoming "entrenched"..........

I do owe one huge debt of gratitude to the second Mayor Daley's wonderful late wife, Maggie Daley, for single handedly saving the old Chicago Public Library / (and now Chicago Cultural Center), from the wrecking ball. (My favorite building in all of Chicago!)

Ambrose Loc: North America

Just curious - what is the source of this information?

Gitzo Loc: Indiana

Penny........it's not only "scary", it's also criminal! After all of this, how soon do you suppose any of these people will ever vote for a Democrat ? (It's called, "buying power with someone elses money" )

Gitzo Loc: Indiana

Don't worry Ambrose, it's not where I found it, but it will be out next in the Chicago Trib......(and that's just the "tip of the ice berg")

DennisK Loc: Pickle City,Illinois

Corruption in chicago? Say it ain't so!

Ambrose Loc: North America

Mike....and all.... Here in Southern Illinois there is a common saying...

If it is illegal, immoral, corrupt and/or wrong it comes out of Chicago.

How can you be a Cubs fan? The last time the Cubs won the World Series, Roosevelt was President--and his first name wasn't Franklin.

And they wonder why Chicago is going bankrupt!
