Senate Bill Incentivizes Employers To Fire Americans and Hire Amnestied Immigrants

Monday, June 24, 2013

Under the Gang of 8 s backroom immigration deal with Senators Schumer, Corker and Hoeven, formerly illegal immigrants who are amnestied will be eligible to work, but will not be eligible for ObamaCare. Employers who would be required to pay as much as a $3,000 penalty for most employees who receive an ObamaCare healthcare exchange subsidy, would not have to pay the penalty if they hire amnestied immigrants.

Consequently, employers would have a significant incentive to hire or retain amnestied immigrants, rather than current citizens, including those who have recently achieved citizenship via the current naturalization process.

The issue is really an interaction effect of the immigration proposal and ObamaCare itself.

Beginning in January, businesses with 50 or more full-time employees, that do not currently offer healthcare benefits that are considered acceptable by the Obama administration, must pay a penalty if at least one of their workers obtains insurance on a new government-run exchange. The penalty can be as much as $3,000 per employee.
