I am not sure what % of these illegals use health care, education and social services. For healthcare, dont you need to have medicaid or medicare to get healthcare. You cannot just walk into a hospital and get health care. Social services need a SSN# if I am not mistaken and someone being an illegal does not have an SSN#. I am not sure how the education concept works but I was also under the impressiona that a majority of these illegalas have most of their family back home...

Per federal law (Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act), no one can be turned away for basic emergency services.

"You cannot just walk into a hospital and get health care."

But you can. By law, anyone who just walks into an emergency room can not be refused service. Not very good for chronic conditions, but still "health care".

You sure can... these people show up in the emergency room, and the ER is required to treat them. That's why they're such a burden on the system. If they had jobs with health care they would be seeing their primary care physician when they caught a cold, not parking themselves in the ER taking up expensive resources.

Where have been this last 40 years. No hospital publicly financed and most privately financed are prohibited from turning away any type of patient needing immediate treatment. This is the most expensive type of treatment and the very type that the illegals demand. They flee across the border to deliver their babies and to get treatment which is costly or unavailable in Mexico. Wake up americans the multi billion dollar drain will now swell to trillions. Only a terrorist incident arising from cross border invasions will awake the american people to the outrage that is ocurring.
