Comprehensive immigration reform could make millions of people 
suddenly eligible for assistance under President Obama's 
healthcare law, assuming a final deal paves the way for 
undocumented immigrants to receive papers.

Illegal aliens are now prohibited from purchasing coverage 
through the Affordable Care Act's insurance exchanges, which 
will launch next year.

They are also ineligible for Medicaid under most circumstances, 
making the law's expansion of the program fruitless for people 
without documents.

Even young illegal immigrants with "deferred action" status, 
known as "DREAMers," cannot access the law's benefits.

But the picture could change completely if Hispanic lawmakers 
get their wish � an overhaul of U.S. immigration policy that 
includes a path to legalization.

"We have to figure out a way in which [undocumented immigrants] 
incorporate themselves into the larger workforce, and into our 
society in general, and not be a burden," said Rep. Luis 
Gutierrez (D-Ill.), a leader in the immigration debate.

"Do we want them to go to the exchanges? Absolutely we do � if 
and when they don't have healthcare through their employer," he 
said.

Immigration is expected to be a major issue for President 
Obama's second term, and advocates like Gutierrez are pushing 
hard to make reform a reality.

Are you obligated as an armed civilian, to defend unarmed 
liberals while you are both under fire by foreign agents of the 
outlaw Obama administration?

No.  Shoot the liberals immediately so they can't stab you in 
the back while you are defending yourself, then return a 
controlled rate of aimed fire.  ��
