““Back in Mexico I would go often because the doctors spoke my language,” she said, speaking in Spanish. “Here, sometimes there’s not an interpreter available, and it is hard to explain what’s wrong.
“There’s also the factor of health insurance. It’s really expensive to go to the doctor and, if you don’t even have a job, how are you going to pay for medical care?” she asked.”
Sounds like a case for veterinarian intervention.
Did anyone bother to find out if this woman was legally allowed to be here? Or the other 27% - how many of those are legal citizens? And..for Pete's sake people...LEARN ENGLISH. If you care so much about your children and family, learn to speak the language so you can take care of them properly in this country and read and write English. It is our language!
I hate reports like these, they never qualify the numbers they use to try and elicit sympathy and support.
