"Kasey Poole, spokeswoman for the Chattanooga Hamilton County Health Department, which is participating in the health fair, said outreach "is always important when we work with the community."

"Binational Health Week is an annual weeklong series of health-promotion and health-education activities geared toward migrants and immigrants from Mexico and Central America."

This is in Chattanooga, Hamilton County....

Who is paying for this service to illegal aliens? The Hamilton county taxpayers?

Meanwhile, inflated health care costs due to over-regulation and abuse of monetary policy impact legal citizens all across the nation. Where's the reform fair being held for that? See the Ron Paul campaign for details.

It is "free" don't you know?

We want to make sure we provide all the information in their language and let them know there are other places where they can receive free health care services," Ms. Jones said.

The taxpayers, of course, but I didn't see any Tennessee agencies on their list.

Illegals invade our borders carrying nothing in their backpacks but a handbook on how to get on the US gray train.

Living off taxpayers is the name of the game.

Illegals plead poverty to get US freebies but they have pleny of extra cash to send back to their moth-eaten home countries-——about $50 billion a year by recent reports.

The illegals scam is to suckup as much as they can in the US then return to their countries to live in beachfront condos with money in the bank———all courtesy of US taxpayers.

This must end, pronto.

Is this one held the week before, or the week after the “Health Fair for White People”?

While the rotten politicians keep campaigning by selling out America — buying votes from every downside group in America. And breaking our laws to do it. If you and I break laws, we go to jail — how about these bumbs??? Maybe that would help their attitude about using the American public as “useful idiots” (thank you Lenin).

Where did it say that illegal immigrants are attending? The story specified that some 1st Amendment-fostered organizations will be peacefully assembling over the issue of health. Sounds pretty normal and commendable to me. Counties and other jurisdictions often attend private assemblies to offer information about their services to whomever is there.

Since you are so clever why don't you tell me what % of Tennessee Hispanics are illegal aliens. Then you will have your answer

So far you are just playing dumb

What a racist event. Of course of governments support racism as long as you are not white.

I hear they won’t be opening the State Fair in Tennessee next summer over the palpable fear that even one illegal immigrant might be there enjoying an ice cream cone.

People have a 1st Amendment right of free association. There are a lot of private organizations whose mission is centered around helping people in their own communities. That is not being racist, but rather commendable. That you never see the label 'white' associated with any reputable organization or charity or event has a lot of historical and social reasons.

It's because only white people can be racist, doncha know. Black, Asians, are Hispanics minorities, so in the world of political Correctness, they can be racist, while the act of even asking why no white events is in itself racist.

Imagine a White Miss America, or White Journalist Group or White Congressional Caucus or White health fair. Inherently racist. Any other ethnic or racial group just being inclusive by being exclusive.

I’ll bet there won’t be a group there offering free vasectomies or sterilizations. Such a group would be banned as racist.
