If you repeat a lie often enough, you are a Republican (cont'd)

From American Progress:

RIGHT-WING HYSTERIA: The few right-wing lawmakers who continue to stand with Bush have rallied around an imaginary provision in the SCHIP bill, claiming it provides health insurance for undocumented immigrants. Rep. Steve King (R-IA) said the bill provided care for "illegals and their parents." Rep. Nathan Deal (R-GA) engaged in similar demagoguery, claiming the bill was a "multi-billion giveaway to illegal aliens." The SCHIP legislation does not cover undocumented immigrants. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities reports that "undocumented immigrants have never been eligible for regular Medicaid or SCHIP," and the current bill "maintains this prohibition."
