Undocumented migrants with kidney trouble flock to Illinois

Chicago has become the promised land for undocumented migrants with kidney problems, people who in other states receive no medical care due to their immigration status although here they can get free dialysis and kidney transplants.

The Illinois legislature last October passed a law that provides funds for kidney transplants for undocumented migrants, the first such legislation in the United States.

Religious and community organizations such as Latinos por la Salud and the Mision de Vida, Fe y Esperanza have received requests for help from people arriving from the neighboring states of Wisconsin and Minnesota, while others have traveled much farther, coming from Georgia, New York, Washington and Texas.

One of the people who has come to Chicago is Salvadoran immigrant Marta Lidia Moran Rosales, 23.

Single and without any family in New York, where she was receiving dialysis treatment three times a week, she called Chicago hospitals and learned that they were treating people without medical insurance and without having their immigration papers in order.

So, the Illinois legislature has agreed to fund “free” dialysis and kidney transplants for everyone in Central and South America as long as they can manage to get to Illinois?

Illegals flock to Illinois anyway because the word is that state has the biggest welfare handouts for them.

Ask each Illinois car driver if they voted for Obama. If they did, dump the bodies in the river. <<

YESS!...and if stacked properly and they continue to come..they can become a real part of a “Green Renewable Hydro-electric Project...... A win-win for both sides!!....
