Obama’s Amnesty Gives Employers a $3,000 Incentive to Hire Illegals Over Real Americans

Not only has Obama unconstitutionally given some 5 million lawbreaking illegal immigrants sudden legal status, but now he is giving employers a $3,000 incentive to hire illegals instead of hiring true Americans.

He’s not only destroying our culture and immigration laws, now Obama is making sure we real Americans can’t even get jobs[1] in our own country.

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.

The loophole was confirmed by congressional aides and drew condemnation from those who said it put illegal immigrants ahead of Americans in the job market.

We already have the worst job market in recent history and this guy just made sure even fewer of us will be able to get work.
