No... what makes immigrants IMMIGRANTS is that they IMMIGRATE...

Illegal aliens have documents ...fakey ones but they have them...

There are probably 50 million of them here now.

If you were a business who was paying 50-60% of an employee’s insurance, how much of a raise would give an employee if private insurance went away?

The answer is probably 0%. You would roll that money into your bottom line.

If you are paying $1100 a month in family insurance premiums—or about 20% of your gross income—do you think for a second that Medicare for all is going to cut your monthly expense?

Here is what will happen:

1. Your company will get taxed an amount equivalent to their existing expense—or more.
2. Your total monthly tax bill will increase to the equivalent of your previous insurance expense—plus a higher Medicare tax.

There is no way that the average person, making $55,000 to $65,000 a year is going to get away with a lower tax bill.

There is no way to make this happen without significant rationing of healthcare.

At best it would be Medicaid for All.

Most likely, it would be Medicaid for those willing to wait hours in a clinic for care.

Democrats: All the expensive stuff in life will be free!

Citizens: How will you pay for it?

Democrats: By extorted, borrowed and printed money.

Citizens: What happens when that runs out?

Democrats: Praise ourselves mightily for trying and have formerly undocumented immigrants care for our mansions in exchange for beds in the attics and leftovers.

Bernie cares more about foreign invaders than A driven citizens.

Who the h3ll knows anymore? That 11 million figure was tossed about when Bush II was president over a decade ago. Maybe one million have earned enough to retire and go home (though I doubt it), another 40 million have either come to take their places or popped out as anchor babies, so your guess is as good as any.

Senility is a sad thing to observe.

Not on my dime Bernie.

millions of people who violated the law to illegally enter sovereign US territory would be eligible for full access to the American healthcare system, courtesy of taxpayers’ largesse.


Taxpayer largesse?! Sadly, it seems no choice as to whether or not to be “generous...”

The Pols just keeping adding to our grandchildren’s credit card balances, and they have no voice or choice :(

My thought as well. It’s be nice if there were only 11 million illegal aliens living here.

Bernie Sanders government = Chernobyl 2019 mini series. Incompetent at everything but scared to death of the next higher authority.

Bernie represents Vermont. Vermont has a population of 626,299 as of 2018. His constituency is that of a mayor of a mid-sized city. Vermont’s median age — half the population is older and half younger — was 42.9 last year, the third highest in the nation and well above the national median of 38. Those people need a lot of entitlements. It isn’t very diverse either.

Nationally, just over 60 percent of the population is non-Hispanic white. In Vermont, it’s 93 percent. Vermont’s black, Asian, and Hispanic populations are each about 2 percent of the total. The irony!

And for all his vaunted talk about democracy he’s a US Senator, who represents a state, not people.
