each day 13 Americans are killed by illegal aliens driving drunk. Many more are seriously, permanently injured
... ... ... ... ...
What more can be said?

Seen any Mexican 18-wheelers running down the highways lately? The ones that don't have the same regulations ensuring their safety that American truckers have?
That's cheap, and deadly labor too.
And of course, the 'Rats and RINOs response is taxpayer-funded universal health care and amnesty for illegal immigrants. Some even want taxpayer-funded college education (see the DREAM Act proposal) that would give preferred "financial aid" to illegals over American citizens and legal immigrants.
We are telling the world that we punish good, law abiding citizens and LEGAL immigrants while simultaneously rewarding and encouraging law breakers (regardless of nationality).
How do we pay for this? Higher taxes, higher interest rates, and a lower quality of life...and a worldwide perception of American weakness and decay that gives terrorists all over a green light to attack us.
This is the price of "cheap" labor. Cheap in the short run but devastatingly expensive in the long run.
You have to wonder how long this can go on for before there's a danger of some sort of violent backlash.
I will attempt to dance around P.C. here.
I've seen a lot of drunks. Some groups have an amazing ability to stay on their feet, and move around full of alcohol, long after a run of the mill drunk would be comatose, and harmless. You can look in their eyes and see no intelligence there, but damned if they don't keep on moving.
13 Americans murdered every day by illegals. But hey, at least every lazy-*ssed teenager in the USA no longer has to mow the lawn.

The best description of what I feel more and more on this issue is total, unbridled RAGE at those who have perpetrated what will surely be the destruction of America as I knew it as a child back in the 40s and 50s. My grandkids will live in a third world hellhole (think Mexico OUTSIDE places like Cancun and the "sanitized" resorts there.
Time for the pitchforks, a few hundred rails, some tar and some feathers?
You bet!
My niece is an OB/GYN who took her pre-med at HAAAAVVAAAAADDD! Needless to say, she emerged from that experience a FLAMING, BLEEDING HEART LIBERAL.
Upon completing her medical training at yet another liberal university, she interned at a hospital near the border in San Diego.
It was there that a mystical transformation took place: She began to connect the heavy deductions from the GROSS EARNINGS for which she busted her butt for as many as 72 virtually sleepless hours in a row with the taxis and jalopies regularly sliding to the curb in front of the ER.
Many of them contained pregnant illegals who won the race to deliver their babies HERE. She caught many of those babies who, under the current -- and ERRONEOUS -- interpretation of the 14th Amendment were IMMEDIATELY NEW AMERICANS. The mother – who, obviously, could not care for the child if she were back in her native land -- could not be deported now even if the INS and the political bosses WANTED her deported . And as the mother of a new US citizen, the woman could remain here for about as long as she cared to – and that was usually for life.
Most of those patients were welfare recipients and the deliveries were charity cases: The bill for the hospital’s – and HER services – were routinely spread over the bills of those who DO pay. And what the other users of those facilities don't cover went back to the taxpayers.
And since my niece was now a taxpayer, they were costing HER.
And while she may not exactly be a libertarian, she’s is today a LOOONNNNG way from Haaaavaaaaaad.
And just so the bleeders who might see this don’t think me some sort of ethnocentric bigot, I submit this problem is MORE than just about illegals.
Before my oldest daughter was born at University Hospital in Cleveland in 1967, I sat in the main lobby as welfare mother-to-be after welfare mother-to-be shuffled through the door to the maternity ER for THEIR free deliveries.
Before WE could take OUR daughter home, I had to cough up over 3 grand. And that was a great deal of dough in 1967, especially for a guy just out of the USAF.
As I wrote the check, I remembered the magazine article I’d recently read by a hospital administrator from Massachusetts who admitted that all US hospitals practiced a form of medical Marxism, spreading the costs of care for indigents over the bills of those who DO pay for care. Given the move to socialism here, it probably will never be otherwise: Not counting Byzantine complexity and confusion, government produces – and has -- NOTHING unless it first takes it from some PERSON. SOMEBODY ALWAYS PAYS.
Look, I have a big enough problem paying for the 3rd and 4th generation slackers and welfare bums who were BORN here.
It’s time we stopped paying for those who were not.
See tagline.
This is old news to Californians. We have had dozens of ERs simply close down in the LA area due to unpaid bills run up by illegals, and those posing as illegals.
One of the many benefits to employers who hire illegals is that they dump their healthcare costs onto the rest of the taxpayers.
