"U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, a Republican from Palm Beach County who pushed for the GAO study, said that compensating Florida is the right thing to do because the government has not done enough to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the state."

Uh, oh, I seeeeee.... Because the stupid lawmakers we elect -- who are all highly paid with great pensions and no medical care worries -- make big boo-boos and don't enforce the stupid laws they make, we little taxpayers have to pay for illegals health needs even if we don't even have any damn darn heathcare plans of our own! Unbelievable...

You know, as soon as lawmakers get a clue as to who it is who pays for all thi shi_, then we will all be better off. The government doesn't have money growing on trees! WE little people are the government -- the government is not an inanimate object. Us hardworking peons are! It is we who sacrifice for illegals and yet who is it who pays our way??? No one.

Do illegal aliens get notices from the collection agencies when they can't immediately pay their hospital, doctor, tests, and medicine bills? Well, normal taxpaying, legal citizens with no heathcare plans often do.

the government is not an inanimate object

Exactly. All articles about "government" spending should read "the taxpayer's money", instead of "government".

Gee.......WHERE have I heard those same words before ??? Oh, & something about MORE SCAAP funding (fed. $$ for jailing illegals)??? Now WHO was that, fighting for MORE fed. $$$, to relieve the state/local tax payers ???

Can you believe it was GOVERNOR George W. Bush, of Texas ?? Fighting with DC for more fed. $$$, because DC was not doing their job at the borders in stopping illegals from entering the USA.

Because the stupid lawmakers we elect>>>>>>>>

Now we have PRES. GWB, who has CUT the SCAAP funding to states the last two years, & offers a 'partial' payment on local hospital costs.......& let's not forget the 'proposal', that will keep a million a yr. coming in for their 'rewards'.
