Making it illegal for illegal immigrants to buy health insurance in the U.S. as part of the health care bill is both inhumane and a waste of money. So naturally, some of your more suicidally conservative Democrats are eager to pander to racists on this issue, as if nutbars like Joe Wilson will ever consider voting for Democrats. But thanks to one of my hard-working tweeps who did the research so I didn't have to, I've discovered the whole hand-wringing debacle over the fear that some illegal immigrant somewhere might buy health insurance is most likely moot anyway. We don't have to cover illegal immigrants from Mexico. Why not? Because Mexico is already going to cover them.
