you wrote: Illegal immigrants are not special "guests" in our country. They are people who have broken the laws to meet their needs and desires. They should not benefit by their choices to break our laws.


Then why oh why does the Federal Government MANDATE that States pay for the cost of hospitalization and birth of the "US Citizen" born by an undocumented illegal immigrant alien?????????????????

THAT is the $64 Trillion dollar question.

Why didn't/doesn't the Federal Legislature forbid the States to pay any medical costs in the birthing of progeny of undocumented illegal immigrant aliens? Why allow them to be called "US Citizens" if their parents are not US Citizens????

If you want to enforce immigration laws, then start at the Federal Legislative level and work down to the local level.

NO more 'free' birthings, no more 'free' education. Just let them die in childbirth. Just disallow their children to obtain medical assistance in emergencies and let them die from treatable illnesses or accidents.

WHY??? Because we are USof Americans and we don't act inhumanely.

Or do we?

The US should not pay for any health care for any illegal citizen. They can find a way to pay for it themselves. I didn't say deny them the medical procedures! They can have any medical procedures they want or need, the just need to be responsible for themselves. The key point is any illegal needs to be responsible for their actions and needs. Our government is not responsible for them. Big difference>

Automatic citizenship needs to be changed. Just being born in a country should not grant you citizenship to that country. My opinion.

No one is suggesting that. How about this concept? The bills for medical care, welfare and schooling for ILLEGAL ALIENS should be paid by their country of origin, not American taxpayers. Then they should be deported.
