Gutierrez: Health Bill's Immigration Parts Enough To Vote Against

March 12, 2010

From TheHill.com: “The healthcare bill’s immigration provisions are enough to spur Hispanic members of Congress to vote against it, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) said Thursday.  Gutierrez, a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) in which he serves as chairman of its Immigration Task Force, said the caucus still has concerns over the extent to which the healthcare bill excludes illegal immigrants as well as legal residents from receiving benefits in the healthcare plan.  ‘They are enough to say I can’t support this bill,’ Gutierrez said during an appearance on MSNBC.”
