Report: Illegal immigrant hired as Obamacare ‘navigator’



Report: Obamacare 'navigator' possibly in US illegally | The Daily Caller


An illegal immigrant in New York is serving as an Obamacare navigator, according to the Center for Immigration Studies, a non-profit limited immigration group.
According to a CIS report, Maria Marroquin — identified as an illegal immigrant as recently as March 2013 — from Peru is also the “Health Education Organizer” for the Restaurant Opportunities Center of New York (ROC-NY).
ROC-NY is listed as a subcontractor for the “New York Health Benefit Exchange: In-Person Assistors and Navigators.”

“IPA/Navigators will provide in person application assistance to individuals, families and small businesses and their employees at initial enrollment and when renewing coverage. IPA/Navigators remove barriers to the application process by providing assistance in multiple languages, in community based settings during non-traditional hours such as evenings and weekends,” The New York health care exchange explains.

and a bunch of personal information that would allow someone to steal you identity.

If she is an undocumented worker we should probably make sure she gets granted citizenship so she will be able to carry out her job without any problems.

 

[DaisyDay]

She was brought here when she was thirteen. What is the point of demonizing her? She is not evil.

You know, illegal immigrants are all theives and criminals who are going to steal your identity so they can live off the dole receiving five or six welfare checks and SNAP cards while drinking and playing their Mariachi music loudly (unless the cops who might arrest them for drug dealing are driving by) so clearly...

Oh, it's an illegal brought here by her parents who is an immigrants rights activist and not a theiving, drug dealing welfare queen?

Isn't criminal kind of inherent in the definition of an illegal immigrant one who arrives in the US in violation of 8 USC 1325?

That would depend on if they were a minor at the time of entry and how the language of subsection (1)(a) is applied.

No, it is not criminal, but it is a civil violation. Note her t-shirt in the video.

She is a good spokesman for the Dream Act.

Something about that word ILLEGALLY just kinda sticks with me.

Generally, I do something illegally and I get in trouble for it. How come the same doesn't apply for other people? I don't care if she's been here since she was 13. That's plenty of time to apply for citizenship, actually.

I had relatives that came to this country and followed the laws to become citizens. I don't understand why people think it's cruel for others to do the same thing.

On the positive side at least they're not outsourcing these "navigator" jobs. Yet.

Feel the Christian love for one's neighbor in this post!

Yeah, that's why people use that inflammatory word even though it is a civil not criminal violation.

If she applied for citizenship, she would be deported and forbidden from applying because she was here without a visa. Catch-22.

They are here illegally. You may want to call it undocumented.

Fact is, when I get pulled over and I don't have my drivers license, I'm driving illegally, not undocumented.

Wrong.

 

[DaisyDay]

Wrong.

Color me convinced by your pithy refutation.

 

[PreachersWife2004]

Color me convinced by your pithy refutation.

I was just following your lead.

 

[Vylo]

Wrong.

Really? Because they have deported legal immigrants for doing so.

...which is so much more dangerous than the government, corporations and any hacker for hire who may be targeting you. <sarcasm>

 

[wing2000]

Yes, it's rather obvious you don't care. However, I suggest you actually learn the fact about which options she does NOT have before you make such statements.

I've had relatives go through the process. I know how it works, thanks!

Much easier to get citizenship if you have family that can sponsor you.

Fact is, when I get pulled over and I don't have my drivers license, I'm driving illegally, not undocumented.

While this may be a state-by-state thing, I'm pretty sure that in most cases, that's not correct. You're still a legal driver; you're just unable to produce documentation to verify it (which may be its own law).

For example, PA (the first state whose law I could find) requires that you produce a license within 15 days of it being demanded:

http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/pdotforms/vehicle_code/chapter15.pdf

§ 1511. Carrying and exhibiting driver's license on demand.
(a) General rule.--Every licensee shall possess a driver's license issued
to the licensee at all times when driving a motor vehicle and shall exhibit
the license upon demand by a police officer, and when requested by the police officer the licensee shall write the licensee's name in the presence of the officer in order to provide identity.
(b) Production to avoid penalty.--No person shall be convicted of violating
this section or section 1501(a) (relating to drivers required to be licensed)
if the person:
(1) produces at the headquarters of the police officer who demanded to
see the person's license, within 15 days of the demand, a driver's license
valid in this Commonwealth at the time of the demand; or
(2) if a citation has been filed, produces at the office of the
issuing authority, within 15 days of the filing of the citation, a
driver's license valid in this Commonwealth on the date of the citation.(May 30, 1990, P.L.173, No.42, eff. 60 days; Dec. 21, 1998, P.L.1126,
No.151, eff. 60 days)
