Why does the taxpayer have to pay for translators for any non-citizen? They should pay for their own costs when in this country.

More government workers is never the solution to a problem.

I didn't suggest that taxpayers pay for anything. If I understand him correctly the service is paid for by the caller. It isn't unreasonable to have translation services available at airports if we have them at ER rooms.

Non-English speakers in ERs don't pay for a thing!
