Which is why Trump should have enforced maximal deportations from the first day of his administration.
We also pay when thousands of illegals come into our communities carrying infectious diseases. Stop them at the boarder, isolate then and send them back. Solves both problems.
This author gets it right...
illegal aliens use the ER for sniffles and get treated before American citizens having heart attacks...
United States Hospital Emergency Rooms are the most expensive medical care in the world.
The Bee pointed out that in the Valley alone, 5 hospitals were shuttering their ERs because they couldn't afford to keep them open. And it was because of the abuse of crimigrants.
I remember the article quite well because I was surprised the Bee would ever print truth.
The proper term is not Emergency Room but Night Clinic.
” Castro said, “Number one, undocumented immigrants already pay a lot of taxes.”

Anyone with any money went to a private doctor, he said.
It is not the same healthcare. The illegal parks their ass until things settle down. You show up with good insurance and you will go to the head of the line. Of course, gunshot wounds and such being different.
“Second, we already pay for the healthcare of undocumented immigrants. It’s called the emergency room. People show up in the emergency room and they get care, as they should. And then third, it’s the right thing to do. We’re not going to let people living in this country die because they can’t see a doctor. That’s not who we are as Americans.”
The issue is 90% of the time they are not coming to the ER for are not life threatening or even major. Colds, Allergies, allot of other non-emergent things & they cannot be turned away due to EMTALA.
Thank Reagan for this one. They flood the emergency rooms and make them unusable for anyone else.
Just another feature of our broken world last medical system.
Every single medical bill of every single illegal alien who refuses to pay, should be sent to Mexico.
