Hillary Clinton claims her universal healthcare program will not cover illegal aliens, but the positions of her lead advisor on immigration and recent statements she has made to Spanish-language media outlets indicate otherwise.

The top campaign expert on Hispanic issues for the New York senator running for President has a long history of orchestrating lobbying efforts for taxpayer-funded healthcare, drivers’ licenses and free in-state tuition for illegal aliens, as well as bilingual requirements for state agencies.

Raul Yzaguirre, who was president and CEO of the National Council of La Raza from 1974-2004, is now the co-chair of Clinton’s presidential campaign and chair of her Hispanic outreach team.

Notably, in his long career for the open borders advocacy group, Yzaguirre was called to testify before Mrs. Clinton’s tight-knit 12-member health care task force team in March 1993.

There, Yzaguirre said that universal healthcare “ought to cover the undocumented citizens.”

“We need to understand that health is a public health issue and that disease doesn’t respect nationalities,” he pleaded.

Under the radar of the mainstream U.S. media, the Spanish news agency EFE reported on September 20 that Clinton "alluded to the necessity" of providing emergency treatment to illegal aliens and she supports laws that required medical providers to do so.

The article was titled “Plan médico de Hillary Clinton incluiría a indocumentados” or, in English, “Medical plan of Hillary Clinton would include undocumented people.”

According to the article, Clinton told a reporter “plan de salud no incluye a inmigrantes indocumentados en este momento” in a phone interview. In English that quote literally means: “plan of health does not include undocumented immigrants at the moment.”

At the first-ever presidential Spanish-language debate on September 10, Clinton promised her audience her healthcare plan “will cover everyone.”

“We will make it clear as a rich nation with the values that should be the best in the world and for all make it absolutely positive that everyone will have healthcare,” Clinton said. “We’re going to make it clear that there will be no parent who ever is told no when it comes to getting healthcare for their children.” Continued...
