$2B Spent Annually For Medicaid Emergencies, Largely For Illegal Alien Baby Deliveries
16 FebEven though federal law largely bars illegal immigrants from obtaining Medicaid coverage, the program annually pays out more than $2 billion in free emergency coverage that mostly goes to illegal immigrants, according to Kaiser Health News.
The vast majority of the total emergency care reimbursements cover delivering babies, Kaiser reports.
Based on a Kaiser data analysis of the states believed to have the greatest populations of illegal immigrants – including California, New York, Texas, North Carolina, Arizona, Illinois and Florida – more than 100,000 people annually receive emergency care that is reimbursed by Medicaid.
California, Kaiser’s analysis showed, receives approximately half of the annual $2 billion Medicaid expenditure category.
That category of Medicaid also covers some homeless people and legal immigrants who have been in the country less than five years – and are therefore mostly ineligible for Medicaid, according to Kaiser.
“We can’t turn them away,” Joanne Aquilina, the chief financial officer of Bethesda Healthcare System in Boynton Beach, Fla., told Kaiser.
Nearly one-third of Bethesda Hospital East’s annual 2,900 births are paid for by emergency Medicaid funding.
According to a 2007 Journal of the American Medical Association report, an analysis of claims reimbursed by Emergency Medicaid over a four-year period in North Carolina revealed that 99 percent of the 48,391 individual cases went toward services for illegal immigrants.
Kaiser reports that hospitals generally realize when patients are illegal immigrants, even though they do not explicitly ask them their status, because they do not possess a Social Security Number, birth certificate or other documents.
“We gather information to qualify patients for something and through that process, if you really hit a dead end, you know they are illegal,” Steve Short, the chief financial officer at Tampa General Hospital, told Kaiser.
DHS Delayed Arrest Of Democrat Senator’s Illegal Alien Sex Offender Intern Until After Election
13 DecArrested Menendez Intern Reportedly An Illegal Immigrant, Sex Offender – Washington Free Beacon
An unpaid intern of Sen. Robert Menendez (D., N.J.) was an illegal immigrant and registered sex offender, and was arrested by immigration authorities Dec. 6, the Associated Press reported.
The Homeland Security Department instructed federal agents to not arrest Luis Abraham Sanchez Zavaleta, 18, until after Election Day, according to a U.S. official involved in the case:
Zaveleta was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in front of his home in New Jersey, two federal officials said. Sanchez, who entered the country on a now-expired visitor visa from Peru, is facing deportation and remains in custody. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss details of Sanchez’s immigration case. [...]
Menendez, who advocates aggressively for pro-immigration policies, was re-elected in November with 58 percent of the vote. Congressional staffers who work for Menendez were notified about Sanchez’s case shortly after the arrest. Sanchez told ICE agents that he worked on immigration issues for the senator. A spokesman for Menendez said she was looking into the matter. [...]
The prosecutor’s office in Hudson County, N.J., said Sanchez was found to have violated the law in 2010 and subsequently required to register as a sex offender. The exact charge was unclear because Sanchez was prosecuted as a juvenile and those court records are not publicly accessible. The prosecutor’s office confirmed to AP that Sanchez registered as a sex offender, although his name does not appear on the public registry.
Menendez said he did not know about the arrest until just before his interview on MSNBC Wednesday afternoon, but his staff became aware of it on Monday.
“We certainly wouldn’t have known through any background checks since he is a minor about any sex offender status,” Menendez said. “Once it came to our attention, our New Jersey staff director let the young man go from the program… We have a whole bunch of college interns. There’s no way we can know about any allegation as a juvenile. That’s the story.”
Last month, New Jersey Republicans asked the Senate Ethics Committee to launch an investigation into Menendez based on public records and media reports indicating the senator failed to disclose and seek permission for a series of flights between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic from 2010 to 2012.
Obama’s Drunk-Driving, Illegal Alien Uncle Issued ‘Hardship Driver’s License’
3 AprObama’s Drunk-Driving, Illegal Alien Uncle Issued ‘Hardship Driver’s License’ – Boston Herald
Just a week after he copped a plea in a drunken-driving rap, President Obama’s illegal-alien uncle has landed a hardship driver’s license from the Registry of Motor Vehicles, making it perfectly legal for him to drive in Massachusetts – even though the feds say he doesn’t belong here.
Onyango Obama, 67, who lost his regular license for 45 days last week, scored his limited license yesterday from the Registry’s Wilmington branch, after convincing a hearing officer that life without wheels would have posed an undue hardship on his livelihood as a liquor-store manager. Obama bolstered his case with a letter from his employer, Conti Liquors, as well as proof that he’d enrolled in an alcohol-treatment program.
“He met all of the criteria,” RMV spokeswoman Sara Lavoie said.
……..
Of the state’s decision to award Obama a license even though the federal government considers him an illegal alien, Lavoie would only say, “Registry business is based on Registry records.”
The license allows Obama to drive from noon to midnight.
The license award drew fire from one advocate of tough enforcement on illegals, Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson.
“Our democracy is predicated on law,” Hodgson said. “When we start to interpret these laws differently and manipulate them the way we want them to work for certain people, we start to send a mixed message to people that the law doesn’t really matter. Its subject to interpretation. You don’t have to follow the law. They find ways to justify it. We need the laws to be very clear. We need ‘no’ to mean ‘no’ again.”
Hodgson, along with sheriffs in Plymouth and Worcester counties, stood up for Secure Communities, a program that feeds local police fingerprint checks into federal databases to check the citizenship status of accused criminals. Gov. Deval Patrick has refused to enroll the state in the program.
Obama, a Kenyan national, lost his license last week after admitting in court that Framingham cops had sufficient evidence to convict him in an August OUI bust. His lawyer, P. Scott Bratton, said Obama has an immigration hearing next month.
A judge continued Obama’s OUI case without a finding for one year, meaning he’ll face no further punishment if he stays out of trouble. Obama is the half-brother of President Obama’s late father, and the older brother of Zeituni Onyango, who was granted asylum in 2010.
Illegal Alien With Multiple Deportations, DUIs Arrested… Again
19 AugMan With Multiple Deportations, DUIs Arrested – North County Times
Police arrested a man who had been previously deported three times on suspicion of drunken driving, resisting arrest and hit-and-run, according to the Escondido Police Department.
Juan Tello Flores, 25, was stopped by officers in the area of Bear Valley Parkway and Suburban Hills Drive about 9:12 p.m. Sunday on suspicion of drunken driving, said Lt. Craig Carter.
………………………
The man allegedly fled and officers chased the vehicle until it crashed into two other vehicles, injuring one person, Carter said.
Flores was booked into the Vista jail on various charges, including felony hit-and-run, drunken driving, driving on a suspended license, resisting arrest and felony evading with injury, according to police. Immigration authorities placed an immigration hold on Flores.
The man had been formally deported three times and had voluntarily returned to Mexico 12 times, Carter said. He also had five previous drunken driving arrests, Carter said.
Leftist Judge Defies Virginia Supreme Court To Revisit Case Of Illegal Alien Set For Deportation
9 FebA Virginia judge has openly defied his state’s Supreme Court, ignoring a key immigration ruling in order to reopen the case of an immigrant slated for deportation.
In a move that stunned attorneys involved in the case, Loudoun County District Court Judge Dean Worcester declared last week that he would not heed a January opinion by the Virginia Supreme Court. That ruling said judges could not use a certain legal provision to revisit convictions for immigrants who claim their attorneys did not tell them they could be deported.
Worcester, who already has reopened several immigrants’ cases, did not agree. But rather than take it on the chin and follow precedent, the judge granted himself an exception.
“If this court were to abide by (the Virginia Supreme Court ruling), a constitutional violation will stand uncorrected,” the judge wrote. “The court will not allow this to happen.”
Neither the defense nor the prosecution saw that coming. Rob Robertson, the immigrant’s attorney in the case, told FoxNews.com that, although he was delighted with the ruling, he was “shocked” by it.
“I think I’m more shocked than most other people that Judge Worcester ruled the way he did,” Robertson said.
The prosecutor in the case has filed an appeal.
In the judge’s opinion, Worcester acknowledged that his court is bound to follow precedent, particularly when the precedent comes from a higher court. However, he said, that standard “is not absolute and there are rare exceptions.”
Consider this one of them.
The case in question involved an immigrant who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor larceny charge in 2005. He was originally charged with a felony count but as a result of the plea agreement received a suspended sentence of 12 months in jail — meaning he did not serve time. However, according to the court he was never told by his attorney that his conviction could have ramifications for his immigration status. Sure enough, the federal government in September 2010 ordered him deported to Peru.
Because he was not in custody, the defendant could not challenge his treatment on a habeas corpus claim. Under Virginia law, the window also had long since passed to file a motion to reopen the case. So the defendant, Edgar Cabrera, pursued an avenue which had been used by other immigrants facing deportation — citing a “writ of error” claiming he received ineffective counsel in violation of the Sixth Amendment.
Backing up this defense was a U.S. Supreme Court ruling a year ago, Padilla v. Kentucky, which held that an attorney “must inform a client whether his plea carries a risk of deportation.”
But the Virginia Supreme Court came back last month and ruled that the “reliance on Padilla is misplaced.” Further, the court said defendants can only challenge their case on these grounds by citing an error that would have prevented a judgment.
“While ineffective assistance of counsel may render a judgment voidable upon the necessary showing, it does not render the trial court incapable of rendering judgment,” the court ruled.
Though that ruling dealt with the cases of two other immigrants facing deportation, not the case of the immigrant ordered back to Peru, Robertson said he assumed the state Supreme Court decision effectively ended his client’s chance at a new hearing.
“Frankly, I had already told my client he was going to lose,” Robertson said.
Instead, Worcester threw out Robertson’s client’s guilty plea and reopened the case, scheduling a preliminary hearing for March 31.
Robertson, while noting that the “fight” is not over, said the ruling was correct, even if unexpected. He said the state Supreme Court had basically taken away defendants’ right to seek any “remedy” after the fact should they realize later on that their legal advice was not sufficient.
“A lot of these people don’t figure out they’re in trouble … until immigration comes knocking,” he said.
But Loudoun Commonwealth’s Attorney James Plowman, who on Tuesday appealed the decision to the local Circuit Court, said the judge’s argument “assumes that there is a remedy for every situation, which there’s not.”
Plowman said he was “a little bit shocked” by Worcester’s ruling, arguing that for a judge to vacate a ruling years down the road is tantamount to a dismissal.
“If you start vacating cases that are five and 10 years old, you might as well just dismiss them, because the likelihood of the prosecution being able to resurrect a case that’s 10 years old, track down witnesses… you really… put our backs to the wall here,” he said.

Bomb Case Blows Up In Feds’ Face – New York Post
In a stunning setback to President Obama’s approach to trying terrorism suspects, the first Guantanamo detainee to be prosecuted in civilian court nearly walked free when a jury found him not guilty on all but one of 285 terror-related counts yesterday.
Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian, beat weighty charges such as conspiracy to kill US nationals and conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction in the 1998 attacks on US embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, which claimed 224 lives.
He was convicted only on Count 5, a minor charge of conspiracy to damage or destroy US property with explosives.
But that count includes a subsection that asks jurors if the defendant’s conduct caused death of persons other than his co-conspirators – and the jury said “yes.”
That lone guilty verdict is enough to send the terrorist to jail for at least 20 years under federal sentencing guidelines, and maybe for the rest of his life.
Ghailani, 36, smiled during the eight minutes it took to read all the charges.
“We respect the jury’s verdict and are pleased that Ahmed Ghailani now faces a minimum of 20 years in prison and a potential life sentence,” the Justice Department said in a statement.
The failure to pin more serious convictions on Ghailani is likely to be seen as a setback for Obama’s plans to close Guantanamo and try 174 terrorism suspects in civilian courts.
The detainees at Guantanamo include Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks.
While the feds obtained a conviction, it was not on the more serious charges they needed to set a precedent for future prosecutions.
The major problem was prosecutors’ inability to establish how much Ghailani knew about the attacks or his involvement in the bombings.
Defense attorneys were elated at the jury’s conclusion, and said they plan to appeal the single conviction.
“This verdict is a reaffirmation that this nation’s judicial system is the greatest ever devised. It is truly a system of laws and not men,” said defense lawyer Peter Quijano.
Ghailani was transferred from Guantanamo Bay to New York in June 2009.
Following several tense days of deliberations, prosecutors were lucky to get even the one conviction, after seeing their case nearly implode in a mistrial.
The panel, which deliberated for a week, reached its decision two days after one juror asked to be excused, saying she was being “attacked” for her dissenting opinion.
But the jurors went back to work and reached the single unanimous verdict.
“You have reason to feel proud,” said Judge Lewis Kaplan. “You have all done your duty. Our nation is a better place. I and everyone else have been struck by the way you did your duty. You reviewed the evidence with great care.”
The government accused Ghailani of buying seven gas cylinders used in the bombs and the truck used to transport them.
