"agencies" fearful??
self-protective instinctual reaction...

[freeangel]

Hey, Clara. The taxpayer funded clinic is not "free" for the taxpayers who are being extorted to pay for it. Try getting you subsidies from churches, charitable organizations and hispanic groups that are advocating ILLEGALS in this country.

[Bikers4Bush]

And just how is it racist when it applies to ALL illegal aliens?

[junta]

"Racism" is the word that triggers aversion therapy, come too close to the foundation of liberalism and the baboons of the left fling down the dung of their existence.

[jimt]

Illegals living off our tax dollars are a net drain on the economy.

The hit here in Houston amounts to billions.

No wonder the socialist service agencies decry cuts as "racist". It cuts into their business !

"It has nothing to do with race. It's a purely fiscal policy," Espinosa said. "The federal government shelled out $800 billion to fund emergency health services alone last year because of illegal immigrants coming into the country. That's outrageous."

Geez, this is a state in the middle of the Country, NOT a border state.

$800 billion in emergency health service ALONE sounds a lot like abuse of the system to me. They don't pay for it yet they expect others to pay for it.

Hey Clara, you see something wrong with this? No, I'm sure you don't. The poor immigrant in an underground world "deserves" medical treatment at OUR expense.

I've read that there is a genetic heart defect in Mexicans, and a border hospital in Arizona (I think, IIRC) performed so many of these operations they not became proficient in them, they became known for it. Illegals cross the dang border JUST TO GET THE OPERATION, all on an American's tax dollar of course.

I am so disgusted with them expecting to receive free treatments for their Heptatis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, worms and whatever other disgusting disease they have contracted in their country and brought across the border into MY country.

If Tancredo offered up some of the proposals that Sabertooth has written about, I'd write in Tancredo's name on the Presidential ballet, and I'm not kidding.

Geez, this is a state in the middle of the Country, NOT a border state.

In the tri-state area of NY, Connecticut, and New Jersey the estimate population of illegals is over a million.

[tdadams]

More than 725,000 illegal immigrants do not have health insurance.

That's really not our problem, and it's not by our invitation that they're here. Let them plead their hardship to whichever country their citizenship belongs.

[KarlInOhio]

"The federal government shelled out $800 billion to fund emergency health services alone last year because of illegal immigrants coming into the country. That's outrageous."

$800 billion? The federal budget is in the $2 trillion range, so he's saying that 40% of the federal budget pays for the emergency health services of illegals? Sorry, I'm not buying the figures. (However even $1 is too much).

[dagnabbit]

Such measures send such a strong message of who is deserving and who is undeserving."

and that's a problem because...?

[scouse]

"The federal government shelled out $800 billion

Which they gouged at gunpoint from hard working taxpayers.

[dagnabbit]

So when do the usual 2 or 3 'bots show up on this thread to tell us how Tancredo is a one-issue loser, and how paying welfare to illegal invaders is brilliant strategery?

[Reaganwuzthebest]

President Tancredo... has a nice ring to it.

[LizardQueen]

More than 725,000 illegal immigrants do not have health insurance.

Neither do a whole lot of our legal citizens and immigrants. If anyone gets first dibs on help with insurance it should be them. They shouldn't be financially raped to pay for insurance for criminals.

"Life in the United States is a hassle for undocumented immigrants,"

It should be, they're here illegally and are criminals.

This article should've had a triple-bagger barf alert attached to it.

"Life in the United States is a hassle for undocumented immigrants," said Molina Soto, director of multicultural outreach for HEP C Connection, a nonprofit that helps illegal immigrants. "It's a whole different culture where you have little choice and limited access to services. What Tom Tancredo is doing to immigrants will only add to our misery."

Simple solution -- Get the hell out of the United States!

[snarkpup]

Everyone is safer when agencies are fearful.
