had to compete with non-citizens for basic social services, and endured longer waits for emergency health care.

Last night my one year old grandson had a high fever that wouldn't go down, his parents took him to an emergency room (Orange County California). They waited almost two hours while watching the illegals get treated for non-emergency ailments, they finally left in disgust, deciding that their child would be better off at home.

They complained to the desk nurse, who was apologetic, but shrugged her shoulders, saying "our hands are tied, we have no choice but to treat them whether it's an emergency or not". Entire families of non-English speakers, non-paying patients were there, and the nurse said that this was an ordinary night in the E.R.

Dana Rohrabacher's bill regarding reporting of illegals demanding treatment should be passed, though I doubt that the cowards in Washington will have the balls to do it.

I hope your grandson is ok. Same thing happened to my daughter's father-in-law in Vegas last week. He was hit by a car! Didn't arrive to ER by ambulance and sat for SIX hours and still not taken care of! So he went to the Nevada University and was treated immediately! He said the room was full of foreigners.

I hope your grandson is O.K.

The ERs close to the border stay packed with illegals getting non-emergency care because it is free for them. We are becoming 3rd world with each passing day.
