Immigrants pay billions in state and local taxes. Don’t they deserve access to health care?
Sacramento Bee ^ | June 07, 2019 | Aimee Mestas

My story begins with my mami (mommy).

She had just found out she was pregnant again when she decided to immigrate to the United States. She was tired of working long hours, jumping from town to town and still not being able to provide for her growing family.

Suppose some stranger moves into your house and starts living there without your permission. What does this stranger deserve from you? Obviously s/he deserves to be evicted.

If they’re paying state and local taxes I want the names of the employers who are blatantly breaking federal law by employing illegals.

They absolutely have access to healthcare. Walk into any doctors office, put down the cash, and get what they need. No one is stopping them.

Of course you are right. What they really want is FREE healthcare. Well, free to them, paid for by other citizens.

OMG, an illegal immigrant is denied free health care!!! What the heck is wrong with a country that doesn’t treat illegal immigrant criminals better than American Citizens?

I never received free health care. My children never received free health care. I provided for myself and my children without ever complaining or feeling sorry for myself.

Get these freeloading, lazy, ungracious criminals out of my country. Now.

Just a little friendly advice.

If you can’t provide for your family; Stop Growing It!!!

If you are too stupid to stop producing children for which you can’t provide basic needs, why should anyone else provide for them?

You are a foreign invader why should those invaded willingly provide for the children of that invader?

When invaders are discovered they should be immediately deported along with their progeny.

They have caused more ERs to shut down for us citizens, amd have caused citizens health bills to soar 5-6 times what they should be.

That is exactly correct.

Illegals cost us $143 BILLION every year.”””

THAT is the headline that needs to be used against all the crying about “how much tariffs are going to cost American consumers”.

As a life long bookkeeper, I can assure you that even if a ‘farm worker’ under a Greed Card or Bracero status is working here legally, they claim 9 dependents on their W-4 paperwork. I actually caught an 18 y/o male claiming 9 dependents. I asked the ranch foreman what was going on—(I was new to that job)-—and he said that the guy was single, but he was supporting family members in Mexico.

I told him that US Tax/IRS laws do not allow such dependents to be claimed here on a paycheck. He said ‘that is what they all do’. I put a halt to that & demanded all new W-4 cards. I told the foreman that I would put the kid into the system as single-1 and nothing else. He had absolutely NO dependents inside the USA.

That was for a legal situation with Green Card Ag workers.

Now-—when someone isn’t even on the payroll system-—and is working for cash—they absolutely are NOT paying anything in state & federal income taxes or Social Security or Medicare.
That lie has been circulating for years and the Dems keep pushing it.

I lived in Los Angeles for over 29 years. The illegals live 15 or more to a 3 bedroom apartment—against ALL building codes-—and they send back to Mexico or further south almost 80% of their earnings. This became very evident when the 1971 earthquake hit & suddenly apartments were red tagged. The number of occupants in those apartments came streaming out like roaches.

Those who actually are on a payroll & get a W-2 file a Federal tax form 1040 & then get the EARNED INCOME CREDIT & child credits & walk away with millions in dollars paid by other taxpayers. NOT PAID BY THEM.

This has been challenged by some Watchdog groups, but IRS tells them-—Show me where in the TAX CODE that these people cannot get those credits....and Congress WILL NOT pass such a code.

Northridge Hospital was considered the best Trauma unit in the San Fernando Valley. It was state of the art & won many awards for excellence. I left So Calif in 1993, and that hospital closed it’s Trauma unit some time ago due to non-payment by illegals for all their gunshot & knife wounds. IIRC, the whole hospital shut down later. A loss to the entire LEGAL community caused by the ILLEGAL INVADERS.

Diseases the USA had eradicated are back causing trouble, and the illegals are the source-—who is screening them for health issues??? NO ONE!!!Measles-—Typhus——Ebola——Just keep those borders open & see how many other problems this country will have to deal with.

Don’t even get me started about Sharia Laws-—and the Muslims.

The illegals are a total drain on this country. They DO NOT belong here without following the rules.

After the first few words, tears blinded me. What was the rest of the story? It sounds like it was going to be about someone who killed their parents and is wanting sympathy as an orphan.

Violate the law egregiously and continuously and then make people feel sorry for you. It’s the scam that works, today.

Yes, “immigrants” pay plenty of taxes. Illegal aliens on the other hand only pay the taxes they can’t avoid.

NO.
Squatters break into your house while you're away. They kept it clean,painted your living room and fed your cat. Do they DESERVE to live there?
Illegals breaking our laws by BEING in our country deserve nothing!They are thieves and no more deserve benefits from their crime then a car thief deserves your car or its contents. What's hard to get about that?
'Found out' she was pregnant again?? Like she had no part in it, what a surprise-she wasn't there when pregnancy causing mating happened?? Please!
Americans are tired of this 'poor me' excuse for self-destructive lifestyles and criminal behavior that is CHOSEN. NO sympathy-none-nada. We have paid taxes for generations and get NOTHING free. I,however, will gladly give your mamacita and others like her something free: a plane ride ,and a parachute BACK to legal home- with only what you had when invading the U.S+ the illegal kids born here.Thieves don't get to keep what they steal.
