if they were paying for their health care then I might feel differently
- but their not
the money they make goes back to mexico
they expect everything to be free
health care, social services, language help (translators)
is all provided to them by the legal law abiding tax payers of this
country.
the flood of illegals continues,
they will take everything they can get and then retire to their homeland.
we need to put a stop to it

NO. Show me one study that says illegals are draining our healthcare system. And what do you mean "our". Unlike Canada and Saddam's Iraq, the USA does not offer a universal healthcare program for every citizen.

Yes because most of the time they do not pay for their healthcare, thus the people who have health insurance are paying more to pay for them. Also, the doctors are forced to charge more.
There is a serious issue in this country with illegal individuals, they are taking away the care from our own citizens!! How is that right?
Its ridiculous that people who are not American citizens can get care then NOT PAY! We should try taking care of our own people then work on them.

WORKING IN HEALTHCARE ON THE FRONTLINES, THE ANSWER IS A RESOUNDING YES YES YES. NOT ONLY ARE WE REQUIRED TO TREAT THEM BUT HOSPITALS ARE NOT REIMBURSED FOR THEIR TREATMENT. MANY ARE SICK COMING HERE. MANY ARE ON DIALYSIS, HAVE HIGH RISK PREGNANCIES BECAUSE THEY START AT 13 AND DON'T STOP UNTIL THEY ARE 50, HAVING MENTALLY IMPAIRED CHILDREN THAT PUT A STRAIN ON THE EDUCATION SYSTEM. THEY ARE ABLE TO WORK AS DAY LABORERS BUT DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO SOC SECURITY OR THE IRS. WE TAKE CARE OF PROBABLY 45-75 PER DAY EVERYDAY.

YES! i work in a health department, which also contains WIC. I estimate 40% of our clients are illegal aliens. you can tell, b/c they are the ones who don't have social security numbers. they get WIC (free vouchers for milk, juice, baby formula, etc), and their kids (if born in the US) are eligible for Medicaid. it makes me sick. we are giving money right and left to illegal aliens, but our elderly (who built our great country) have to choose whether they buy food OR their medicine this month.
