"Do you assume all immigrants get sick? And how do you determine who is legal or illegal? Do you ask to see their papers?"
I assume everyone eventually gets sick.
I also assume if you are illegal you are NOT paying taxes and do NOT have health insurance. I don't need to ask to see their papers, all I have to do is sit back and watch the hospitals go bankrupt.
You still didn't explain how these honorable citizens are paying taxes or why they don't become legal.
I have no way of knowing (and neither do you unless you employ them) who pays taxes and who has health insurance. I don't have health insurance and it makes life very difficult. I have sympathy for them I guess. And growing up in So. Fla. I saw what Cubans did for Miami. It really was a win/win situation there.
