President Barack Obama said he would be okay with illegal immigrants being treated in emergency rooms in some situations under his health care plan.

like anchor-babies?
You’ll never see a cent. Drive in California where insurance rates for cars is sky high. You get hit, and the guy tells you his name is Jose Gonzalez. Then try finding him later, lol. Guess who pays more insurance while all the Joses pay none, don’t even have driver’s licenses.
I believe its the 17th Ammendment that they use against us.

Amendment 17 - Senators Elected by Popular Vote.
The kids can stay - if they produce birth certificate, etc.
HOWEVER, illegal parents COULD NOT ...
I got NO problem with that - JUST as long as the hospital checks immigration status AND calls ICE if the person is found to be illegal ... ICE THEN deports their ass back to whatever banana republic they came from ...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is what just everyday people can’t understand. When we catch illegal aliens, we don’t deport them, we just release them back into the population.
Treat everyone one and all, just take the cash out of the general fund.
JUST as long as the hospital checks immigration status
How exactly would they do that?
***
Ask for standards of proof - green card, passport, birth certificate, driver license, etc.
ALSO, check ICE database - ‘specially with GSW’s (gang-related) ...
Thats what they do in Prince William County, VA at the jail ...
EVERYONE charged with an offense is checked ...
Yes Virginia, there was time when Democrats respected honest work.
When we catch illegal aliens, we dont deport them, we just release them back into the population.

I catch and release all the time - WHEN I’M FISHING !!!
you can’t prove with reasonable certainty that an aborted fetus would grow up and vote dem. He can however with reasonable certainty assume those he treats for free and eventually makes citizens will vote his way.
sorry to be so cynical with life and death but i believe there are no free lunches and everything they wish to do is geared towards locking in a huge majority of voters for their party.
kinda like the millions in unpaid parking tickets in NYC from the members of the UN? Those countries?
All people need to reply to this argument is say, “Look at California.” California has been giving free food and medical care to illegal immigrants for over a decade and its economy is ruined.
The first step is close our borders tightly. Deport all illegals who get caught breaking the law in any way. Go after people who employ illegals. Give only emergency medical treatment to any who really need it. Stop feeding their children free breakfast and lunch. Try very hard to assimilate the law abiding illegals who opt to stay despite these changes.
Many prefer it in Mexico and will leave once the gravy train stops. Many will stay because they’ve had children here and our only hope is to Americanize them. We’ve got to convince them it’s great to be an American.
we should fly them back over their countries and release them.
But - if they KNEW their status would be questioned, they wouldn’t show up for care in the first place. Then ALL the ER’s would have room for the folks who are here legally. Without the question, they are there with their kids at the first sniffle of a cold.
The time/place to check immigration status is at the time of employment.
Everyone needs a valid SSN to work in this country. Your employer reports it to the Feds. If they name/SSN don’t match, you can’t work. Simple as that. The problem would clear on its own, as work is what pulls people to this country illegaly.
Every objection I’ve seen to this is just a straw man to throw up some roadblock. Technologically it’s easy (we already do it in fact, we just don’t enforce it.) The empoloyers already supply the information, so it isn’t a burden on employers at all.
The potential mistakes in the SS database are said to be 600,000 (out of a country of 350,000,000, but still probably exagerated since that is a number opponents quote.) That’s a number that can actually be dealt with on an exception basis. Especially if you grandfather in anyone that is currently working (notifying them of a discrepency and so they can get it fixed before they change jobs sometime in the future.) Grandfathered employess wouldn’t face a problem till they changed jobs.
Put zero, ‘Arms’ and Axelrod in charge of illegal south-of-the-border hospital dumping.
No other nation on earth seems to offer this “open borders/open citizenship” policy.
Even Mexico only permits people from Guatemala to enter provided they keep moving north.
Illegal immigrants want free socialized medicine? Let them keep going north to Canada.
We had our chance when we were the ones controlling the WH and the Congress.
What a giant screw up to not get rid of the illegals and follow a conservative economic policy when the getting was good.
