Why anyone who isn't some exec at a mega-corporation would support the Republican view on this sort of stuff is beyond me, but whatever.
The GOP certainly goes too far on this issue. The problem is, so do the Dems. I think a robust, as you put it, safety net for people in genuine need, and wanting to better their situation, is something the vast majority of citizens would get behind. But please explain how providing free health care to illegal aliens and not actual citizens makes any kind of sense in this regard? Not only does it incentivize illegal activity (a Dem staple at this point), it's a slap in the face to actual citizens and legal, non-citizen, residents. Which is why you haven't seen anyone try and actually address this, instead falling back on the usual talking points.
