Great article. Another "signal" contribution of the illegals that the writer may wish to comment on sometime is the bankrupting and closing down of numerous hospital trauma centers throughout the southwest. Illegals are "coached" by their poverty pimps, if they are in need of medical care, to call an ambulance and request transport to the nearest emergency/trauma center where they are required (I guess by law) to provide FREE medical treatment and pick up the tab for the ambulance. The practice has become so prevalent in some areas that trauma facilities, unable to recover costs, have been forced completely out of business thereby diminishing the overall level of US medical services available. I understand that this has been the fate of many trauma centers in Arizona and California.

I hear of emergency rooms shutting down. I don't know about trauma centers...

Unfunded federal mandate.
