I went to the hopsital today for a test and in the admissions office, there was an Hispanic couple. The wife was extremely pregnant. When they were giving information for admission, they had great difficulty because he couldn't speak English and she could understand only a little. He works at a picture frame factory, but had difficulty naming the company. She didn't work.

I am always very tender to any pregnant lady but I almost fell out of my chair in the adjoining booth when asked about insurance, they had Medicaide. I am self-empolyed and pay huge premiums for private insurance.... and I can speak English!

This may be off-subject to this thread, but I just wanted to rant. Not only do we let them in without any oversight, but we give them benefits the rest of us who pay taxes don't get.

It is a terrible situation, economically, socially, politically and fom a security standpoint.

We need statesmen in office ... not politicians. I classify the former as individuals dedicated first to the Constitution and the welfare of this Republic ... I classify the latter as dedicated to themselves, their own agendas, ideologies, vices and sundry other commitments long before the Constitution and the nation.

Statesmen would take this bull by the horns and do the straight forward things necessary to turn it around.

A little off topic - but then I think ranting about the illegals and their hidden and not so hidden costs to this nation is never off topic - it is the topic!!

Our daughter in law took our 3 year old grandson to the ER last night. He was having trouble breathing and running a high fever. He has severe allergies. They live in the country and they normally use a hospital that is in another town about 17 miles from their home. It just happens to also be the city/county, as well only hospital. She got there said the ER was filled with Mexicans and they told her it would be a 4 hour wait. She drove back the 17 miles, then 15 more to another town with a small Presbyterian Hospital and they took the baby right in. Lots of hidden costs.

I don't know where all these Mexicans in that area work, but a large percentage work for Pilgrim's Pride Poultry. We are paying for his worker's medical care, so he can 'create wealth'.

No ranting about this is all very ON-TOPIC!

I guess you didn't see the thread yesterday or the day before about Jorge "The Messiah" Bush's plans to spend Billions on buying homes for minorities and "other poor people"?

That's the rewards they get for not learning English ---and that baby qualifies them for more welfare benefits. It's one thing for people to come here to work, learn the language and improve their lives but too many are content to live in government projects, get all kinds of handouts, never bother to learn our language or even make sure their kids learn it.
