We're already providing taxpayer funded health care to illegals and have been for many, many moons. As far as I can tell, this $1b just shifts part of the cost from the states to the feds.
States have hollered long and hard for the feds to pick up some of the costs of housing, feeding and caring for illegals. Now the feds are coughing up a billion to help defray health care costs. That's a good start in my book.
No, it is wrong. More and more people who live in Mexico just cross the border for free health care. Mexico has hospitals and doctors. There is no excuse for this. These are not emergencies. They come all the way from Monterray, Mexico just for free health care. A lot of these people are very, very wealthy.
