Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas is a fairly famous institution and for a variety of reasons:

1. John F. Kennedy died there in 1963 2. Lee Harvey Oswald died there shortly after 3. Jack Ruby, who killed Lee Harvey Oswald, died there a few years later by coincidence

On the flip side, Parkland is also home to the second busiest maternity ward in the country with almost 16,000 new babies arriving each year. (That's almost 44 per day — every day)

A recent patient survey indicated that 70 percent of the women who gave birth at Parkland in the first three months of 2006 were illegal immigrants.' Crikey, that's 11,200 anchor babies born every year just in Dallas. According to the article, the hospital spent $70.7 million delivering 15,938 babies in 2004 but managed to end up with almost $8 million dollars in surplus funding. Medicaid kicked in $34.5 million, Dallas County taxpayers kicked in $31.3 million and the feds tossed in another $9.5 million.

The average patient in Parkland's maternity wards is 25 years old, married and giving birth to her second child. She is also an illegal immigrant. By law, pregnant women cannot be denied medical care based on their immigration status or ability to pay. OK, fine. That doesn't mean they should receive better care than everyday, middle-class American citizens. But at Parkland Hospital, they do.

I know it sounds Helter Skelter...But look for race “wars coming in the next 20 years...not involving European whites.

and the people who paid into the system all their lives will take it in the neck...and the socialists keep pounding senior citizens as the ones living on a ‘free lunch’...and for the first time in memory, gave us no cost of living this year or next one ??? (although they voted themselves on) — but our cost of living sure went up.

THEY - seniors - PAID. these illegals didn't. the druggies and alcoholics and “by-polar’s didn't.
That's like taking YOUR pay check and doling it out to all your neighbors who don't work - and then berating You because you still have some left.

Stop embezzling social security.

(of course they won't. And come the day they cut senior citizens off completely - all the others mentioned above will continue to get ‘their’ money and benies.)

Will someone smarter than me please explain to me how illegal aliens qualify for medicaid,,, someone,, plz.......

[pallis]

Quick, someone tell Prince Charles and the rest of his luciferian pals who blame the population explosion on the West and Western thinking. Progress isn’t the problem. Multiculturalism and the Third World overflow is the problem.

Ping!

[maine-iac7]

establish several identities with phony SS nos and fake documents

hmmm - wonder if a certain person in DC, who is reported to have had several different soc. sec. no.s, and whose mother, in her particular position with a bank had access to soc. sec. numbers - including those from deceased, made a comfy income this way?

Like I said on another thread, I have no respect for Texas anymore, “Don’t mess with Texas” - LOL, ya right, they’re been invaded and doing nothing, 70% illegals born, give me a break. Arizona is the new Texas, Texas is part of the problem and might has well be Mexico ...

[Little Ray]

Doesn’t matter. I don’t think Mexico would give them citizenship...

Not involving whites? I see that potential future unfolding a bit differently.

[NeverForgetBataan]

Dallas County, along with Travis County (Austin), and selected counties along the Texas-Mexico border are NOT “conservative areas”.

They are areas that are infected with illegals or illegal loving, sympathizing, harboring, enabling, and tolerating liberals (Austin).

[NeverForgetBataan]

This is why it’s sooo great that Collin County does not have a county hospital.

Illegals flock to county hospitals like raccoons to a trash can........FREE DINNER.

RE: From 2006....but still relevant today...even more so.

Four years later! and we still haven't opened Parkland maternity wards all over Mexico! Those poor women still have to come all the way to Texas to have their babies be declared U.S. citizens?!

What bigots we are . . . .

(Not likely to be any here.. but of course there are many people who feeeeeeeeeeel that we're bigots for this reason.)

Does snopes have some kind of code installed that doesn’t let you cut and paste text from their site?

My daughter worked maternity at a small So. California border town.. they averaged 20 or more births a day and the great majority were illegals some that timed crossing the border by their labor pains to make sure they would not be sent back before they delivered

I have an overide. Just copy and paste this to the tool bar of your browser.

javascript:function%20kill(d){d.onmousedown=d.onmouseup=d.oncontextmenu=d.onselectstart=d.ondragstart=function(){return%20true;};}try{kill(document);for(var%20j=0;F=frames[j];++j)kill(F.document);}catch(e){}

That is no lie. The tea party movement did not catch much steam due to the fact that our primaries are earlier than most states. It is true that the aforementioned are rinos but the alternative liberal Bill white, the former mayor of houston, is not anywhere near a viable option.

I am happy however that it is catching steam in many key important states.

[org.whodat]

Yes, probably higher today.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

I’m running ie8.
Can you give me a little more detail on how to do this?
