I have found errors in information provided by FactCheck.org several times and can not and will not recommend information provided by FactCheck.org as a reliable source.

So, you’re saying that Obama definitely lied right? I’m saying he did not lie, but there are no concrete measures in place to prevent illegals from receiving care.

If you think they’re wrong too, I’m not sure what to tell you.
