Mexico's health czar seeks better care for Mexicans in California

The sad thing is that Villalobos will almost certainly get everything he asks for -- and more -- from both the Rats and Pubbies.

[Pearls Before Swine]

What about improving healthcare for native Californians in Mexico?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Let's just extend it to Mexicans in Mexico, too.

[edcoil]

If mexico provided any health care for its own people, half of them would not even be here.

[Stark_GOP]

If Mexican workers don’t like it here then they can GO HOME!

[Deaf Smith]

"generally arrive here healthy but see their health deteriorate within several years"

From putting on the extra 50-100 lbs?

[citizen]

...and eventually extend to them a system of universal health care

Great. Universal healthcare for Illegals paid for by American taxpayers. Hillary! will be in charge of it no doubt.

[twonie]

Right now - right here - I believe the word chutzpah (No, I don’t know exactly how to spell it. Did I get it right?) should be changed from Yiddish directly to Spanish. Mexicans now have the best claim.

[SmoothTalker]

Amazing that our CIC won’t stand up to this sort of thing. A foreign leader coming into our country and saying we need to spend billions on his citizens? Absurd. But Bush has continued to bend over for Mexico throughout his presidency to the detriment of the United States and against his oath of office.

[muawiyah]

Or, have Californians simply pay for Mexican health care in Mexico.

Any Mexicans in California who need health care could go back home and get it.

No questions asked.

[rbosque]

When he leaves, he needs to take his people back with him and work out THEIR health care back in THEIR country.

This is stupid.

[abishai]

The US and Mexican governments are at war with the citizens of the United States.

[Regulator]

Hillary! will be in charge of it no doubt

Oh Please. Mr. Bush will be the first to propose it.

[ryan71]

This is sickening.

[abishai]

Let me rephrase that.

The war is over, and the defeated taxpaying citizens are now slaves. We are to provide and care for our new lords.

[lilylangtree]

Mex Govt with fancy words and hidden meanings is saying to the US: support our illegals with free health care at your expense naturally.

[alloysteel]

Yeah, how about MEXICO extends some kind of health care for the people they have there?

Most of the people who come over here are accustomed to having the village medicine woman supply them with the herbs and soothing ointments. The first time many of them have EVER been examined by a medical professsional, is when they are admitted to a US hospital emergency room.

[Syntyr]

ARGGHHHHH

I am currently wrapping my head in duct tape before it EXPLODES!!!

[Prokopton]

The war is over, and the defeated taxpaying citizens are now slaves. We are to provide and care for our new lords.

In a democracy, when the majority of voters want to be slaves we all become slaves. This is were we live.

[chaos_5]

I say we just send Mexico the bill!
