Every illegal alien in America gets public benefits as if they had a Medicare card.

You think that is good for the illegals.

Why isn't it good for American citizens too.

Tell me where I am wrong.

? I don't think you're wrong

It's great for illegals, and horrible for American citizens and legal immigrants. Why have legal channels if we are going to leave the borders open for illegals?

[Brainhose]

So that makes it OK?
Why don't we try to take the free health care away from the illegals?
You'd rather destroy the entire system?

Because it's not. That's the first thing that pops into my head.

I am TOTALLY AGAINST MORE GOVERNMENT but when you shuck out several hundred in Medicare taxes for the oldsters to have easy health care and still are shucking out over $600 a month for a spouse and one child, the envy sets in you know, and geesh....maybe national health care wouldn't be such a bad thing...

its not like anybody gave a damn when the great corporate America ditched my husbands benefits for his family plus his duely earned pension and retirement health benefits...nope, not one card or letter about that...

we live in two Americas...those that get the great health care for almost nothing...and those of us who have been victims of corporate greed and are not on the govt dole.....

maybe its time we should be.....

They don't.

I agree. If we pay, we shall reap the benefits. If they do not pay, they shall not reap the benefits. But the courts say we have to provide for illegal aliens and Christ says I have to pay my taxes and ebey the authorities. I don't like it, but I obey and I pay, then I pray. For deliverance from taxation, from responsibility without rights.
