Whether it be the heat of the desert or the cold of the mountains the illegal aliens are often saved by the US Border Patrol and taken to nearby hospitals..... The ambulance transporting the illegals and the hospital treating the illegals are NEVER PAID...... The only remuneration the hospitals and ambulance services receive is by marking up US citizen’s ambulance and hospital bills to cover their losses. Yes, we pay for the illegals.
There are about a hundred US hospitals along the US / Mexican border. ......Each of these hospitals loses an average of two million dollars a year for the treatment of ‘just illegals brought in through the emergency room’ due to debilitation from exposure....... Many of these illegals can spend six months in intensive care with an average daily cost of $2,000.....
Usually these cases are from heat stroke and the prognosis is very poor. The families do not allow the hospital to discontinue life support and at some point the patient is returned to Mexico where they then die.
Yes, even half a million dollars to maintain the illegal who is incapable of ever regaining consciousness and is then returned to Mexico where they die.

And after we spend $15 billion to $20 billion on a Wall-to-Nowhere, that will still be the case, if it really is in the first place.
