Why should a lazy inbred wife-beating hillbilly on welfare get medical care and an honest Mexican worker who hardly makes ends meet be forced to go to ER for his colds?

I'm a hard worker also, but I still have to pay $780 per month for family health coverage.

Estimate: Illegal Immigrant Population in Country Hits 12 Million
By Stephen Phlemacher, The Associated Press
Published: March 7, 2006
WASHINGTON—The number of illegal immigrants in the United States has grown to as many as 12 million, and they now account for about one in every 20 workers, a new estimate says.
It is difficult to accurately measure the number of illegal immigrants in the United States, but most public agencies and private groups had settled on a figure of about 11 Census Bureau data to estimate that the United States had 11.1 million illegal immigrants in March 2005. The center used monthly population estimates to project a current total of 11.5 million to 12 million.
The report estimates that 850,000 illegal immigrants have arrived in United States each year since 2000.
President Bush has called for a program that would grant temporary worker status to illegal immigrants already here. The House rejected the program and instead passed a border security bill last year that leaned toward lawmakers who were calling for a crackdown.
The Senate is trying to address both border security and the temporary worker program, but consensus has been elusive. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., has said he hopes his panel will produce a bill by the end of March.
There are about 7.2 million undocumented workers in the U.S., or about 5 percent of the country’s work force, the Pew report said.
It estimated that illegal immigrants fill a quarter of all agricultural jobs, 17 percent of office and house cleaning positions, 14 percent of construction jobs and 12 percent in food preparation.
“Especially if we look at the Mexicans, these are people with fairly low levels of formal education,” Passel said. “They’re not able to get licensing or credentials in the United States because of their status, so the kinds of jobs available to them in the United States are somewhat limited.”
There would be plenty of Americans willing to accept jobs done by illegal immigrants if they paid adequate wages and benefits.
Mexicans make up 56 percent of illegal immigrants. An additional 22 percent come from other Latin American countries, mainly in Central America. About 13 percent are from Asia, and Europe and Canada combine for 6 percent.

That honest Mexican worker should enjoy the full benefits of the country where he is a legal citizen.

No. I worked in the sun, rain, snow, hail, cold, humidity, etc... I did not get free care. There should be no free care for illegals. Send them back. I do not care what country they are from.

There is free health care in Mexico.
Arrest & deport all illegals who show up at US emergency rooms.
