Oddly enough,our local paper ran an article about illegals and our local hospital this weekend.

http://www.enewscourier.com/homepage/local_story_168201524.html?keyword=leadpicturestory

This is what the hospitals think of amnesty... “If given amnesty and determined legal citizens, they would be eligible for government provided healthcare resources, which would probably have a positive effect on community hospitals,”

Government provided?in other words,taxpayer provided.

Another frightening statistic.......The cost of the medical care of these uninsured immigrants is passed on to the taxpayer, and strains the financial stability of the health care community. Forty-three percent of non-citizens in the United States under 65 have no health insurance, according to FAIR. That means there are 9.4 million uninsured immigrants, a majority of whom are in the country illegally, constituting 15 percent of the total uninsured in the nation in the mid-1990s, according to FAIR.

Now,go to this site and see just how many STATES have a lower population THAN THE UNINSURED ILLEGALS in this country. It's staggering........http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0004986.html

I know all the facts and they all disgust me.
My own small city has become unliveable because of illegals. You can't get near a hospital. The majority of our property tax monies goes to the local county hospital...therefore less money for police and firefighters. 20% of our police department personnel is assigned to a gang task fore, which means less police for me and other citizens.
The California budget is stalled over giving health insurance to illegals, it goes on, and on, and on.

Illeglas affect every part of society, most people just don't realize to what extent.
