Now We Find Out Obama's Action Puts Hiring Illegals Ahead of Americans

News came out this week that one of the quirks in the action that Obama took would make it more beneficial to employers to hire people who fall under the new immigration order than to hire citizens.

Washington Times:

Under the president’s new amnesty, businesses will have a $3,000-per-employee incentive to hire illegal immigrants over native-born workers because of a quirk of Obamacare.
President Obama’s temporary amnesty, which lasts three years, declares up to 5 million illegal immigrants to be lawfully in the country and eligible for work permits, but it still deems them ineligible for public benefits such as buying insurance on Obamacare’s health exchanges.

Under the Affordable Care Act, that means businesses who hire them won’t have to pay a penalty for not providing them health coverage — making them $3,000 more attractive than a similar native-born worker, whom the business by law would have to cover.
 I am sure that this will most definitely help the economy and the unemployment situation in the United States.
