And the whole health care mess is not because of illegal immigrants, eiher, niccy.
You know that, but wish to ignore the role of trial lawyers in the health care mess, that is your perogative, but it is also my right to point out the trial lawyers role in the health care mess.
I can understand why you one issue people get all snippy, about the truth getting out.
Now, for the sixth time: Why do you defend lawbreakers, Dane: Business owners who hire illegal aliens, and illegal aliens?
The Costs of Illegal Immigration
Center for Immigration Studies, August 25, 2004
A new study from the Center for Immigration Studies is one of the first to estimate the impact of illegal immigration on the federal budget. Based on Census Bureau data, the study estimates that households headed by illegal aliens used $10 billion more in government services than they paid in taxes in 2002. These figures are only for the federal government; costs at the state and local level are also likely to be significant. Among the largest federal costs: Medicaid ($2.5 billion); treatment for the uninsured ($2.2 billion); food assistance programs ($1.9 billion); the federal prison and court systems ($1.6 billion); and federal aid to schools ($1.4 billion). The study also finds that if illegals were given amnesty, the fiscal deficit at the federal level would grow to nearly $29 billion.
