How bout I stain my face brown and speak a little broken Mexican the next time I go to the doctor. Hey we get nationalized health care after all huh. I f---ing can't comprehend the fact that illegal Mexicans in this country get it first. Damn those who brought this about. There will come an answer!!!

If I go get a Mexican Matricula Consular ID card, will I also get free health coverage? If I declare myself no longer a US citizen, can I start working free of income tax?

Whoever is running this country is turning it into a third world $#!THOLE for a hand full of votes. Thanks for nothing.

Already happening- a man came across the border on a walker near where I live yesterday, hw was taken to a homeless shelter by police- border patrol did not get involved that I know of. Anyway he said he needed surgery on veins in his leg.

Already happens all the time; one of our daughters was seriously hurt in a horse accident last year and the ER was full of illegals- none of them seemed hurt to me. I guess border patrol had a fender bender with them in the vehicle. I know BP has to get them checked and the ambulance chasing lawyers swarm the hospital every time things like that happen. I am sure they not only got free medical care; but probably got a settlement of some sort for being in the accident.

The ER doctors around here are not very good, because the good doctors do not want to work ER for free if patients can't pay.

The illegal is now in a nursing home and N.K.C. hospital is still paying the bills. Perhaps this money will give them some relief.

The hospital would be extremely fortunate if it got $.05 on the dollar. With all the BILLIONS being expensed caring for illegals, the 1 billion won't put a dent into it. The money would be best served securing the border.

In many areas we can see it first hand. It will creep outward from the border states. As it does, it will get more attention. Unfortunately, we're likely to have 20-25,000,000 illegals here by then. The longer term threat is both social and economic. Another big concern is terrorism. If illegals can cross at will, you can be sure trained terrorists can get here. I believe they are already here.

This takes a significant issue away from those who oppose illegal immigration - if hospitals get paid, they won't close, and this issue won't be used to oppose Bush's illegal immigration policy

This is true. But we can still complain about the source of the money - us taxpayers! And that Mexico should be doing the reimbursing, not us.

I have worked very hard to get Republican's elected, however, I agree with you, a third party would be a better idea.

Me too. Next time I'm being more careful about who I back. I'm already sending back the RNC's requests for money with a note that I am now supporting the Minutemen instead. Funny thing is, I keep getting even MORE requests each time I do that.

I imagine the next official Mexican publication that explains how to illegally immigrate to the USA will include a step-by-step guide to FREE medical care in the USA at yours and my expense.

Well said.

Free Schools, Free In-State Tuition, Free Welfare, Free Medical Care, Drivers Licenses, Credit Cards, Free yada-yada-yada.

What's next for illegals in this country? Your Washington based wizards on the Hill and in the White House wish to give them a free pass to citizenship.

What do I get? Nothing, except paying my taxes for freebies to those who do not deserve it.

A person who is residing in the USA illegally is committing a criminal act. They should be punished accordingly.

Are the illegals only Mexican? I don't think so - this means every illegal gets FREE emergency medical care!

Wonderful just wonderful.

And now we have a flow of muslims supporting al qaeda that are headed across the border as well.

As a nation, we will regret that we chose to do nothing while millions invaded. Virtually all of these illegals are from 3rd world countries, with 3rd world attitudes, diseases and cultures.

"This is sick. I believe that there is no difference between the parties on this issue."

You're against the Feds reimbursing the states?

The anger here is misplaced. The Fed gov't is merely reimbursing the states because they don't control the borders.

Mark Levin has a great history of how the courts have caused the states to "have to" treat these people.

We might as well annex the place and get it over with. Then at least we can collect some taxes from them.
