What are we going to do about it? Laws mean nothing when illegal aliens are concerned. You read the link I posted earlier about the situation here.

Here is another one from FITZ.

HOUSTON (AP) -- A criminal investigation was launched Monday after complaints that a county hospital district is forcing the public to fund non-emergency health care for illegal immigrants.

District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal is investigating the Harris County Hospital District. The complaint was filed by the Young Conservatives of Texas.

''I commented to several people that, 'I can't proceed without a complaint,' but with all the attention I was sure I would get one,'' he said.

The prosecutor said he agrees with an opinion issued by Texas Attorney General John Cornyn earlier this month on a 1996 federal law.

Cornyn interpreted the law to say that states cannot provide non-emergency health care to illegal immigrants unless the state legislature has enacted a law allowing such expenditures since 1996.

Cornyn said Texas has no such law and recommended that Harris County's hospital district stop offering such services.

Harris County, Dallas County, Bexar County and El Paso County have continued providing the care to illegal immigrants, saying to stop doing so would threaten public health, clog emergency rooms and result in a larger expense to taxpayers.

The law says STOP!! The hospitals say AIN'T GONNA' DO IT!! And we end up picking up the tab for these people.

When are we going to force government to do their jobs and enforce the laws? And that starts with arresting and deporting illegal aliens. What part of ILLEGAL doesn't this administration understand?

The same thing goes on at all the schools. All along the border, people bring van loads of kids over to go to US schools tuition free. That way they keep their own property taxes very low and let the Americans pay for the education of their kids ---and they've insisted that education be done in Spanish --so it is.

It is correct to treat sick people on your doorstep, I would not think of turning away an injured human being on my porch.

These hospital administrators also have the responsability to reort the illegal alien to the law enforcement agencies, once again the IIRIRA should be brought to bear. USC Title 8 section 1324.

iii) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation;

It's five years per alien,toss one administrator in the can and throw away the key. Watch the reporting rate sky rocket.

Bush's solution is to convert the illegal alien lawbreakers into legal alien lawbreakers with the stroke of a pen. What a genius. Bush will seal his fate as a one term president if he doesn't stop the atrocities of illegal immigration NOW and dump his INSANE Amnesty deal.
