"Illegal immigrants got $750 Million in Obamacare"... [View all]

Saw that on FB... about a day old.

The post says the Republicans on the Homeland Security Committee made a report to that effect. I cannot find the report itself... every RWnut site on earth references the Fox News(?) piece. Fox doesn't re-direct to the actual report, either.

Anybody have anything on this? I have the snopes and Politifact denials that it could happen all ready to post, but are there any new developments? I'm wondering if Fox just made it up out of whole cloth.

Anybody know about this?
