    1. The bill has not passed the Senate and has not even had a committee vote taken. That is the first step before it can be debated in the full Senate.

    2. The bill does not grant anything to illegal aliens per se.

    3. The new proposed law says that if a child is used in human trafficking, that child (while here depending on federal government) will get Medicaid. Trafficking under Texas law is bringing someone in for forced labor or sex.

    From the way I read this new proposed law, if a child is brought across the border illegally with intent to force the child into the sex trade or forced labor, while the child is here Texas will cover the child under Medicaid.

    If it is HB888 that we are discussing, it has nothing to do with medical care or welfare for illegals. It is only for children who are forced across the border as sex slaves or forced labor.

    Assuming that is true… That does not make me nearly as good of headlines as saying illegals will now get free medical care and welfare.

    Carry on.
    Thanks

      Everybody needs to contact their reps. and let them know how you would like for them to vote on these issues. Thats all we can do besides a physical protest.

          This. I read that a rep slipped an amendment in at the last minute and most reps didn't know anything about it. It will not even be heard in the senate.

            They have what 2 and half weeks left in session? There will be a lot of bills flying thru and a lot dying in committee.

              Maybe to aid a child that was being trafficked against their will? It allows that child medical care until they can be returned to their family. Seems human to me.
