I never said "the whole health care mess is not because of illegal immigrants" but numerous bankruptcies are a direct result of the millions of illegal aliens who are given "free" services by hospitals and others in the medical field.

Now, for the sixth time: Why do you defend lawbreakers, Dane: Business owners who hire illegal aliens, and illegal aliens?

The Costs of Illegal Immigration
Center for Immigration Studies, August 25, 2004

A new study from the Center for Immigration Studies is one of the first to estimate the impact of illegal immigration on the federal budget. Based on Census Bureau data, the study estimates that households headed by illegal aliens used $10 billion more in government services than they paid in taxes in 2002. These figures are only for the federal government; costs at the state and local level are also likely to be significant. Among the largest federal costs: Medicaid ($2.5 billion); treatment for the uninsured ($2.2 billion); food assistance programs ($1.9 billion); the federal prison and court systems ($1.6 billion); and federal aid to schools ($1.4 billion). The study also finds that if illegals were given amnesty, the fiscal deficit at the federal level would grow to nearly $29 billion.

Uh but niccy you soley focus on people seeking health care, instead of the people putting the people who wish to give health care out of business, the trial lawyers.

JMO you are like a liberal who excuses the murderer or rapist, instead of putting where the true onus should be, the perpertrator, and in the case of the health care mess, the onus is on the trial lawyers, whom you are silent about.
