bayourod, I live in South Texas among many wonderful hispanics.
I object to those who are not paying their own way and it ends up costing all of us more in insurance, doctor bills, etc.
We pay a big premium to go to the doctor and the hospitals but the illegals use the emergency room for a cold and never have to pay.
Our school taxes are also sky high because of this and those who do not own property do not pay.
That is not unique to illegals. The same rules apply to them as to you.
The problem is that Congress passed a law requiring ERs to stabilize everyone who comes in without regard to ability to pay.
Of course, when asked, the people with insurance furnish that info to the ER and the ER is paid by the insurance companies.
People without insurance are mailed bills which some voluntarily pay and others don't.
It just so happens that in your area the people without insurance (ie, the poor) tend to be Hispanic immigrants. In other areas they are other impoverished groups. It has nothing to do with the legality of their immigration status.
This is a problem inherent in socialism. Just look at Canada and England where the waiting lines for free medical treatment are horrendous.
Middle class and up are learning about the free 7/24 medical care at ERs and are going to them for minor things that they would usually go to their doctor for, but which are not covered by their insurance.
Regardless of anything concerning immigration, the problem of ERs is going to get worse.
