In other parts of the country, they’re fighting about whether to build a border wall or whether to deport asylum seekers. But here in California we’re having an entirely different type of debate.
When Gov. Gavin Newsom’s budget proposed expanding health coverage to all undocumented immigrants up to age 26, his fiercest criticism came from those who felt his proposal was not nearly ambitious enough.

“They are the mothers, fathers and grandparents of our citizens,” English said. “Regardless of parentage, the babies that we deliver in our hospitals are citizens, and it is important that they become healthy children who have the best chance of becoming productive and contributing members of our community.”
Anyone out their still naive enough to belong to AARP? Work all your life and pay into Medicare only to have the exact same benefits offered to someone sneaking into our country last night.
If allowed to die, the problem goes away
Hollywood can pay for everything.
I remember when healthcare was cheap. That was before the government tried to fix it.
“Jeanine English added that undocumented immigrants are also part of the community”
So she’s now the State department, in charge of determining citizenship?
Maybe she needs to be treated for delusions of grandeur.
The first thing the Bee could do is to differentiate between immigrants, which means people here LEGALLY, and illegal aliens, which means people here ILLEGALLY. Illegal people should be detained and provided basic medical services as any other prisoner, before being deported. Period. Most legal immigrants usually have taken care of their OWN health care in most cases, so the entire point is moot in a sane, rational world.
Send the bill to the RATS and the RINOs. Let them pay it out of THEIR pockets.
Affordable = free.
Immigrants = Illegal Aliens, so, no, they are not entitled to anything.
Stay in their home countries?
If they had never sneaked in and squatted in this country, they wouldn’t have those anchor baby “citizens,” who should not be considered citizens, to claim taxpayer funded benefits accruing to their illegal parents and grandparents.
California is run by Mexicans now, so it ought to be kicked out of the USA and given back to its original owners. Let them fund their own vote-buying schemes.
A $10 Immigrant Child Health Care tax on every movie ticket is a good start.
The hell they do not!!
Only sociopaths/psychopaths would refuse to acknowledge the difference between legal immigration/immigrants and illegal invasion/aliens.
Simple...
1. Get out your checkbook.
2. If insufficient funds, go home to your socialist paradise.
What are YOU doing to make their current homes better?
California needs to raise the state income tax to 3%. Then they can offer “affordable” healthcare to all their immigrants. For a year, maybe. Then with all the producers gone away they have a problem. California will have to embark on Conquest to force the other states to pay Tribute to California to take care of all California’s illegals.
In California they might as well be citizens. They vote. In 2020 they will vote in millions.
I reject the premise.
How about, if they’re too proud to ask for charity, they pay for what they can afford?
Just because someone needs something that doesn’t mean they have a right to have it simply provided for them just because they exist.
“government solutions” = bend over and get ready
