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.

Once my sisters and I had joined my mother in the U.S., it would mean we too would not receive the proper medical coverage we deserved.


"Deserved" Your mama snuck across our border and had an anchor baby that we paid for.

Why are you getting so irate? I’d expect nothing more from this birdcage liner. After all, the Sacramento Bee is nothing more than the San Francisco Chronicle for the far eastern suburbs of the Bay Airhead Area.

Trying to get real news from ANY large California newspaper is like trying to get real news about the U.S. from offshore, where your choice of US TV news is CNN, CNN or CNN.

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.

They had healthcare where they came from. Send them back.

Immingrants who have become citizens do.

Illegal immigrants, no.

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.

Hell, no.

This is them framing the issue on purpose to call them immigrants, to get rid of the fact they are here illegally.

Piss on them. Pass a law that non-citizens without green cards pay 50% tax and then tax all employers of illegals INCLUDING FARMERS at 45%.But grant tax credits to them if they buy automated farm equipment to help harvest crops.
