In some hospitals, as much as two-thirds of total operating costs are for uncompensated care for illegal aliens.

You make a statement that carries little weight. Frankly it would not surprise me if In SOME hospitals, as much as 100% of total operating costs are for uncompensated care for illegal aliens. It also would not surprise me if In SOME hospitals, as much as zero percent of total operating costs are for uncompensated care for illegal aliens.

Why do make these arguements on the assumption that Freepers are too stupid to analyze what you wrote ? Freepers are smart, very smart. This kind of statistic is something DUers might post.

If even ONE hospital has closed due to the cost of treating ILLEGAL immigrants it's one too many.

Call me cruel, call me callous, call me uncompassionate, I don't care.
Illegal immigration is a drain on the USA's economy, it's health care system, and it's way of life.

We have workers that cannot UNDERSTAND English, much less speak it and they DON'T CARE.
They don't pay income tax, they don't pay into the Social Security system, they don't pay into the Medicare/Medicaid system, and nearly all the American dollars they make they send back to their country of origin. They get free medical, don't have insurance (or many times a driver's licence), if they have a wreck they walk away because the police won't (or can't by law) question their legality.

Taken all in all this is one of the problems our country faces that could, literally, change the face of our country.

Welcome to Amexico.

In Arizona, 3 emergency rooms closed due to illegal aliens.

Not "some", but 3. That's 3 too many due to illegal immigration.
