"....Binational Health Week, organized by the Institute of Mexicans in the Exterior, the consulates of Canada, the United States and Mexico, as well as the Mexican secretary of health."

Shouldn't it be Trinational Health Week?

meant to pool resources from a variety of agencies in order to assist Mexican workers and their families in the United States

And not one dollar from Mexico to support these agencies.

“ 'It’s a good idea because people can learn about how to improve their health,' said Bárbara Gutiérrez, spokeswoman for the Mexican consulate in Brownsville." Allow me to translate: "It's a good idea because illegal aliens and other parasites can learn about how to improve their health on the American taxpayers' dime, gratis. Esos tontos nos dan todo."

They must be holding these Binational free clinics across the country. Your "binational" tax dollars at work.

Clinic Week Aims to Even Up Health Disparities

OAKLAND, CA — Undocumented immigrants in Northern California can receive free health services and information during the fifth Binational Health Week, which starts this weekend.

Vision and dental screenings, blood pressure checks, mammograms, cancer workshops and other services will be offered at Alameda County health centers, community clinics and a few private hospitals today through Oct. 17.

But the emphasis will be on providing information about low-cost health insurance programs available to immigrant families but often not used. Organizers say many families do not know the programs exist or are afraid to go because of their immigration status.

Mental health disorders and related illnesses are now among the primary concerns. "Adapting to a new country takes its toll," Binational Health Week Director Rosario Alberro said. "Depression, alcoholism and severe stress have become more and more common. People affected by this go without treatment."
