I wouldn't want to upset the government and ILLEGALS if I refused to send in my tax money for them to fund ILLEGAL'S health care, education and welfare. /sarcasm
It makes me want to puke!
If you could only see what the hospitals write off (reimbursed in part by your tax money and/or you and your insurance company by increasing your share of expenses) from ILLEGAL'S unpaid bills (including gang members being shot to pieces) I wouldn't be the only one wanting to puke! That's besides the fact that you could be waiting behind one of them if their health problem is more serious than yours (which is usually the case because they haven't seen a doctor in years!). And God only knows what kind of diseases they are caring around the emergency room with their other dozen relatives in the waiting room.
Sorry if this seems heartless but my family comes first! We abide by the law and it makes me angry that these people don't!!! Get in line if you want to come to this country! LEGAL immigrants are more than welcome!
What you said!!
Two stories.
Labor Day weekend, 1983
I WAS behind the illegals in San Diego when I had to go to an emergency room in San Diego for a broken arm. I tripped over the dang sprinklers while working temporarily at Pt. Loma, and renting an apt. at Mission Bay.
Between all the stupid kids who got drunk on the beach and illegals who were there with knife marks and bullet holes, it took 6 hours for them to get around to setting my arm and letting me get the heck outta there.
2nd story. Sep. 2004 - another trip to emergency room, this for a viral infection the Doctors have no idea how I got. Since I had been around illegals, documented by the Docs in the interest of tracking down how I got what I got, I came to the conclusion that it was something being carried by illegals. I wound up having to stay in the Hospital for 11 days, where 30% was added on to my bill for all the folks who don't pay.
Who doesn't pay? Illegals who use the emergency room as their primary care, and check in for whatever surgery they need, then skip back home to avoid bills. I know about this personally, as the tenants in a home I rented,-- said tenants turned out to be illegals from Guatamala, originally allowed in for some coup or something. But they then brought in extended family AFTER the open door for them had shut. Tenants disappeared home (Guatamala) after getting his gut resectioned on our tax dollars as a result of alcoholism.
Amazingly enough, he showed up 2 years later with the same name but a different Social Security number.
BTW, I am actually envious of illegals. Because they get a complete set of matching documents, they can go to DMV's of just about any state and get a driver's license. I have yet to get a driver's license in my new state of residence as I never seem to have ALL of the pieces of paper that I need. Isn't it amazing - how difficult it is for native Americans to get a driver's license in a different state but illegals have NO problem???
Anyway, between being at the end of the line for treatment (San Diego) and having 30% added to my bill to cover those who skip on their bills, I've seen up-close-and-personal just how expensive having illegals around can be.
And the infection I had? Do you know that these illegals, since they don't go through any health checks, are carrying a deadly form of TB, resistant to every anti-biotic currently on the market, along with other horrrible dieseases.
Two kids in McLean, VA, have come down with TB, thanks to just having someone around who did their parent's lawns, or from an illegal's kid in school. Ain't it great?
I have become convinced we need to seal the borders. Tight.
And I think it was Sabretooth before he got banned from FR who suggested that a way to get the illegals to go home was to give Americans a $50 bounty for turning in any illegal!!!
He pointed out how 3000 Pakistani's took themselves home to Pakistan, at their own expense, when after 9/11, Immigration announced that they were going to crack down on Pakistani's who had overstayed their Visas!!!
