The inequality boils to the surface today – even though illegal immigrants make up more than one fifth of the uninsured – they are excluded from reform and left with ineffective emergency care Modern Healthcare 9 (6-22, “Out of the debate; Immigrants are missing quotient in reform talks”)

As Congress considers …that hard to do.
And – things get worse - eligibility restrictions create a chilling effect – social stigma discourages immigrants from getting the care they are entitled to Cooper 4 (EMILIE COOPER 2004 J.D., Washington University School of Law, 2006, Executive Notes Editor, Georgetown Immigration Law Journal, Winter, Embedded Immigrant Exceptionalism: An Examination of California's Proposition 187, the 1996 Welfare Reforms and the Anti-Immigrant Sentiment Expressed Therein)

Contention Two: The Ugly Justification

PRWORA utilizes health benefits to exclude marginalized groups. Policymakers are scared of a “Mexican-controlled” America so they discriminate against all difference.
