Mexican ambulance drivers are transporting hospital patients unable to pay for medical care or emergency-room services in their country to facilities in the United States, where their treatment is mandated by federal law, authorities said yesterday.

The border crossings have been reported from Brownsville, Texas, to Douglas, Ariz., and involve Mexican ambulance companies whose drivers have been instructed by hospital officials in Mexico to take ailing and uninsured patients to the United States, the authorities said.

This is stupid. The solution is to tell the Hospitals that they do not have to accept these people. Americans without money or insurance could net get help form hospitals in mexico. Of course these dumbasses in the legislature would rather expand federal expenditures.

As I've stated before, by simply implementing the same rules for "immigration" that Mexico uses, the problem would simply go away. I would LOVE to hear the screams of outrage by the Mexican government once we put their laws into effect. Then, we just have to say, "if it's good enough for you, it's good enough for us!"

I could live with hospital reimbursements but only if they were funded directly from a tax on wire transfers to Mexico.

Just got back into town, catching up.

A nation this stupid won’t last long as a super power.

I have a feeling that all the big players are heavily hedged in gold oil and natural resources stocks such as Weyerhauser. By big players I mean the promoters of open borders, promoters of NAFTA, promoters of trade deficits. The dollar is down not that I want it to be. But the free traitors who get richer while they sink the dollar are hedged in gold and the others I mentioned

It'll be interesting to see if they can ride the whirlwind they are sowing.
