Consider this, 'A Citizen Reporter:' In California, the law mandates that a Spanish translator must be provided to healthcare patients in both the inpatient and outpatient settings, UPON DEMAND. If the patient or family member is dissatisfied with this translation service or how it is delivered, they can file a complaint with the State that their civil rights were violated.

How does it sit with me? Frankly, it pisses me the hell off. Why? Because this is just giving illegal aliens more wiggle room to disrespect this nation and turn it into a third world garbage disposal.
If they want free healthcare, housing, food, or a job - they need to respect the law of the land, this country and its citizens, and learn english!
If they feel their civil rights were violated - they should take a good hard look at themselves and see how they're violating our rights as American citizens. We come first, and if they don't like how we do things in our country - they should consider residing elsewhere.
English in the primary language of this country, and if they don't like it - TOUGH SH!T. Learn it or get out.
I'm sick and tired of hearing about how so many Americans are worried about whether or not we're offending someone else. This is our country. It's time we stop tryin' to change our ways to benefit someone else.

Is this only true for Spanish?? If this is fact, then a translator MUST be provided for every healthcare patient in both the inpatient and outpatient setting upon demand REGARDLESS of the language spoken. Otherwise it's discrimination. Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Arabic, Italian, Russian, etc.etc.etc. IT WILL NEVER END. The same thing in schools. Otherwise it's discrimination.

Get over it. This land is becoming bilingual. It's official. Borders are going away. As brought to us by Bush while many were distracted with racist bickerings, we are now one Superstate. N.A.F.T.A., as you know, is an economic alliance between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. Without Congressional over-site, Bush this winter signed into law a political extension of that agreement in which the three nations are now the new North American "Superstate" called SPP. All borders are to be "streamlined" and eventually eliminated, major new toll highways are already planned to connect all three nations (including the big one eight football fields wide right up through the center of the new Superstate that the King of Spain will hold the lease and profits from), a common currency (eventually, not at first) and common citizenship. Mexico even gets a big chunk of Kansas for a staging area for its highway construction and maintenance contracts. This is all fact. And, also brought to you by Bush, new eminent domain laws will allow these foreign and domestic developers take whatever land they want. Happy Day Are Here Again! Here's a hilarious illustration of the new big highway being built and the NEW government's official website:

Beats me how all illegals find health care for free, medications too, even translators yet the ones here legally , working hard, even natural citizens cant find good healthcare because companies do not want to offer their employees medical insurance.

Que? Does that mean my civil rights are violated when I am dissatisfied trying to order a burger through the drive-thru! I'm calling McDonald's right now.

Health care is very immportant if the translator is not doing their job properly theyshould be fired or called upon.
Not being able to speak spanish has nothing to do with your legal status!

Cut off all taxpayer services to illegals and watch the flood at our borders reverse. Will Americans ever realize we cannot continue to be the world's trash can and survive as a nation?

I think that people need to learn English and stop receiving special treatment for being stubborn.

Dose not sit will with me, this is a joke, if they can't speak English it is their problem, not the health care system, I am sick of any illegal no matter where they come from expecting everything to be at their disposal, that is not their civil right to have their language spoken to them, if they don't understand English it is not up to the health care system to speak every language in the world. Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam these stupid liberals. It is their responsibility to learn English period.
