    Todd Staples Position on Healthcare for Illegal Aliens Staples voted to provide illegal immigrants with taxpayer funded healthcare. In 2003, Todd Staples voted for Senate Bill 309 (78-R) authorizing hospitals to provide non-emergency care for illegal immigrants using local taxpayer funds. The bill was opposed by Texas Eagle Forum and Young Conservatives of Texas. Opponents argued: “This bill would drive up the cost of care for undocumented immigrants and increase local tax burdens.” (House Research Organization, SB 309 Bill Analysis). As Attorney General, John Cornyn ruled providing non-emergency care violated federal law. In 2001, John Cornyn issued an opinion stating a 1996 federal welfare reform law prohibited hospitals from providing free or discounted non-emergency care. Local hospitals could only provide such care if the state gave them permission to do so (Clay Robison, “Senate approves care for illegal immigrants,” Houston Chronicle, 5/6/2003). The Harris County Hospital District wanted authority to provide illegal immigrants with free or discounted healthcare. Sen. Mario Gallegos authored SB 309 to allow hospitals to provide free or discounted non-emergency care (Clay Robison, “Senate approves care for illegal immigrants,” Houston Chronicle, 5/6/2003). The bill passed the Senate with 2 votes against: Senators Nelson and Shapiro (78th Legislature, Senate Journal, p. 1331). Staples record on illegal immigration is troubling. He supported in-state tuition for illegal immigrants in House Bill 1403 (77-R). He supported giving driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants (David Rauf, “Todd Staples Next Immigration Headache?,” San Antonio Express-News, 10/10/2013). And he has supported providing illegal immigrants with taxpayer funded non-emergency healthcare (78th Legislature, Senate Journal, p. 1331). Is this really conservative leadership?
