Think VA Nursing homes...if the peaceful illegals get rough the elderly guys will throw toothpicks at ‘em and will get trashed in the process...no problem if we lose a few old vets,eh ?

Illinois Nursing Homes Mix Felons, Seniors[Errors And Omissions Understate Criminal Records]

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2354040/posts

More than any other state, Illinois relies heavily on nursing homes to house mentally ill patients, including those who have committed crimes. But a Tribune investigation found that government, law enforcement and the industry have failed to adequately manage the resulting influx of younger residents who shuttle into nursing facilities from jail cells, shelters and psychiatric wards.

Mentally ill patients now constitute more than 15 percent of the state’s total nursing home population of 92,225, government records show, and the number of residents convicted of serious felonies has increased to 3,000. Among them are 82 convicted murderers, 179 sex offenders and 185 armed robbers.

Yet the state’s background checks on new residents are riddled with errors and omissions that understate their criminal records, the Tribune found, and homes with the most felons are among those with the lowest nursing staff levels.
