While his accusation was out of order and unseemly, again we see he was right.  Wilson accused the President of lying when Obama said that health care reform wouldn’t cover illegal immigrants.  Recently, Obama tipped his hand on that claim, saying we had to make more the existing illegal ones legal so they can get health care.  The impression was not<\/em> that they’d go back to their home country and use the legal process.  The President wants to simply, vaguely, go about<\/a> "resolving the issue of 12 million undocumented people living and working in this country once and for all."<\/p>\n
