And the insanity continues.

When does that "throw of the shackles of our own government" kick in?

And this is our job of course.

It amazes me that our public SERVANTS can be so blatant in their treason. The arrogance leaves me dumbfounded.

WhoTF do they think they are?

"Hospitals, doctors and ambulance services in Arizona and other border states can bill the federal government."

Federal government = you & me. WTF, our country is covered in Band-Aids.

Another thing…Would you let a crook hold your wallet?

Well, that is what is happening. Crooked Congress is holding our wallets.

We would be lucky if it only doubles. Would you like to try for a much larger number? (Gads I'm angry.)

"And the insanity continues"

Freepers complain because the feds wouldn't re-imburse the states.

The answer is not to accept your incompetance, but to take corrective measure at the heart of the problem.

GWB and the rest of the losers in government are selling us down the river to cheap labor, illegal lobbying groups, and all of the other something for nothing groups.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just round 'em up and drop 'em back in Fox's hands?

They should be taking the ONE BILLION DOLLARS and building a wall and/or investing in more Border Patrol agents!

Changing the subject?

Lets stay on topic. Should or should not the feds re-imburse the states for these costs?

Namecalling on such an important issue is counter-productive. Let's hear it for both sides of all issues being presented...and responded to...intelligently and politely.

I'm not Name Calling...

I just perused Ben FLickin's post history - he seems to be exactly what I said.

I don't know the answer to the important question you asked. Normally I wouldn't think the feds should use our tax money this way. But the feds decreed this group of people will receive medical treatment, so it makes sense the feds should provide the funds to pay for the law which they enacted.

What bothers me more is that hospitals don't have to report these people who have broken our immigration laws. It doesn't make sense when you consider hospitals are required to report all sorts of people to the proper authorities. Why not illegal immigrants?

A more prudent way to spend the money is to build a very long, tall wall and lock them out. Or, expect them to pay for their own medical care or turn them away.
