I can sympathize with those who opposed Rohrbachers bill. I don't think the hospitals should become a law enforcement agency. I do think the proper agency is the United States. If our country was doing its Constitutional duty of protecting our borders, Rohrbachers bill would be moot.

But the government is bailing out the hospitals that treat these people coming over who have no intention of paying their own way. At least report the deadbeats so they can be deported and denied legal entry ever. We don't need this type of scum who comes over just for the purpose of being supported by the taxpayers.

Rohrbacher's bill wouldn't have made a law enforcement agency out of our hospitals. The hospitals were merely asked to document the amount of free medical care being given to illegal aliens, make note of their U.S. employers and notify the Dept. of Immigration.

Bush and Rove don't want us to know how many billions of U.S. Taxpayer's dollars illegal aliens steal from us, in free medical care, every year.

Bush and Rove also don't want the bills for this medical care passed along to their corporate campaign contributors.

Bush and Rove are content to have the U.S. Taxpayers subsidize the cheap labor their corporate campaign contributors claim they need.

Here's another way that the blind eye being turned towards illegal immigration, by our pandering politicians, is costing innocent American lives.

Everybody has a duty to cooperate with law enforcement including the hospitals.

I beg to differ. In a constitutional republic, every citizen is responsible for law enforcement. We are empowerd to make an arrest and responsible to report a crime. Unless you really want to pay for and suffer the union-dominated politics of enough police and bureaucrats to enforce and administer every law, you had damned well better expect citizens to discharge that duty. There shouldn't even need to be a law permitting it.
