“Immigrants, including undocumented immigrants, pay billions of dollars in taxes,” said Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez to Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday.

Perez defended the democratic policy of providing free healthcare for illegals, by claiming that illegal immigrants would be paying for their health benefits with tax dollars.

“This is not a handout,” Perez told Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday.

“Immigrants, including undocumented immigrants, pay billions of dollars in taxes,” he claimed. “Democrats believe that you should be able to buy into a health insurance system … this is allowing people to buy into an insurance program, people who pay billions of dollars in taxes.”
