Ahhh, isn’t that special.

Mexican immigrants -- legal and illegal -- generally arrive here healthy but see their health deteriorate within several years in large part because they lack access to health care while they are in the United States.

That's just...bullcrap. The illegals breeze right through the emergency rooms without having to pay a cent. Americans have to sign their souls away if the don't have insurance to be seen by a doctor in the ER. California is illegal alien heaven.

If we had a government with a spine, Mexico would have been billed long ago for the billions of dollars its castoffs cost us.

Mexico's new secretary of health visited San Francisco on Monday to learn about the health needs of the millions of Mexican immigrants living in California and to further collaborate with state officials to meet those needs.

I need a doctor! I'm sick of this mess!

For what it’s worth, the writer of this article is a Boston Brahmin, direct decendant of a slave trader and opium dealer of 150 - 200 years ago. Love those Boston liberals.

"If we can provide basic essential services to keep people healthy, we're not going to be paying for more catastrophic issues later on," said Gutierrez. "This is a population that is a human asset that is vital to the economic and social infrastructure of the state."

If Mexicans are such "a human asset", why does their government do every thing it can to get rid of them?

I watched a group of six hispanics that collectively weighed 2000lbs+ go after a buffet at a casino in Reno Nevada. It was horrible to watch.
