The Plan, as it is currently written, expressly denies coverage to people who are not US Citizens. However, there is nothing in it about requiring identification as a US Citizen.
Therefore it would be easy as can be for an illegal immigrant to use a phony social security number or other ID in order to get access to the program.
Thus the "You lie!" comment. Having a certain requirement while expressly forbidding any possibility of *verifying* the requirement means that requirement is in fact a complete lie.
Also falling into that category is the "liberals" opposition to verification of eligibility to vote.
American "liberals" have become exactly the opposite of the dictionary definition of the term. I call them restrictionists. They want to put restrictions on how much money one may make through the imposition of punitive taxes. They want to restrict freedom of speech and religion of anyone who disagrees with them. Many of the laws they've gotten passed that were supposed to promote "equality" have instead resulted in restricting the rights of some groups.
For example "Title IX". The supposed intent of it is to provide equal *access* and *opportunity* for female students to participate in sports and athletic activities. What's actually happened with it in many cases is the elimination of programs for male students when not enough females at a school wanted to participate. "Not enough girls want to play? Well then the boys can't either because that's DISCRIMINATION!"
Another favorite of the "liberals" is the "hate crime". They're ever trying to get additional penalties placed on certain criminal activities when perpetrated against a "minority" individual or group. What the concept amounts to at its roots is any crime committed by a white male against anyone with more melanin is a "hate crime", or if the victim is a homosexual.
Our "liberals" are fond of the words "racist" and "divisive". Everyone must play nice together and include men and women of all creeds, colors, genders and sexual orientations in any group. So why is the Congressional Black Caucus allowed to exist? It's an all Democrat, all Black, racist and divisive organization.
Any all male organization is very much frowned upon by our "liberals" but they'll very grudgingly allow it IF there's no racial discrimination... unless it excludes caucasians. That's perfectly OK. They don't bat an eye over an African-American Men's Prayer Group, but if a bunch of white men want to get together, watch out it's the KKK! Women can form any women only group they want, no problem, as long as it all inclusive, or any non-white race only.
We have the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), the United Negro College Fund, the American Indian College Fund and a laundry list of groups and organizations devoted to helping any non-white race or women or people whose ancestry can be traced to various other countries.
Yet if a group of heterosexual white men attempted to start a college fund for white college students who've taken a vow to refrain from sex until marriage... there's about a dozen sorts of things the "liberals" would call them - all the while the exact same things are just fine with them as long as the persons doing them aren't "white".
There was a Southern high school that for decades, by mutual consent of the students, had quietly held separate off-campus black and white senior proms. A couple of years ago the students decided, on their own, to finally hold a single integrated prom. Ohhhh boy did the "liberal" fur fly then! As if that was the first time they'd ever know about the prior practice. All those years of *discrimination*. Something Had To Be Done! What they were really upset about was that the students had taken care of it themselves and the "liberals" lost a chance to Make An Example of some "white racists".
Finally, if you've heard of ACORN, raise your hand. If you voted for Obama yet never heard of ACORN, where the bleep were you during the campaign?

What you will find *should* make you hopping mad at ACORN. Two college students posed as a pimp and prostitute and went to ACORN's offices in Baltimore and Washington D.C. to apply for a home loan and to get some business advice. They used a hidden video camera to record what happened. They were told they could claim her income from prostitution as a "performing arts" business and were told they could deduct various items like condoms as business expenses. Then the students upped the ante, saying they were going to bring in some teenage girls from El Salvador to be prostitutes. The ACORN people never batted an eye, told them they could claim the girls as "dependents".
But what's even worse is in both cases they were BLACK WOMEN calmly giving advice on ENSLAVING under-age girls. I guess they just weren't being discriminatory, or racist, since the two college students were white...
About the only outfit treating this scandal as the major news story it is, is FOX News Channel. The biggest paper in the State I'm in gave it three little paragraphs on page 7, and omitted the worst details.
A good thing that's come of this is the director of the 2010 US Census told ACORN their services were no longer needed. Why was ACORN ever brought on board to help with the Census after their multiple verified attempts at voter registration fraud for the 2008 election?!
If ACORN is happy to aid white slavers, have they also provided funding to garage drug labs? What do they call those? Pharmaceutical research laboratories?
ACORN has received a lot of taxpayer funding and Obama has promised them a lot more. They ought to be at least cut off from public funding. I'd like to see them have to return every penny.
Obama's connection to ACORN? He was one of their top lawyers before he got elected to the US Senate. "Community organizer"? More like criminal organizer.
