Just curious, Jazmine, what YOU would like to see happen to, say, a child who was sneaked across the border by his or her parents and then gets seriously sick or injured while illegally in our country. Or for that matter, the parents. Of course you realize that illegals are getting health care here right now, mainly in emergency rooms, on our collective dime. As much as you or I or anyone else may be against illegal immigration, what the hell do we do with people who shouldn't be here but are in urgent need of medical attention? I doubt whether Obama or Congress will even go remotely near the option of including illegals in whatever health insurance plan emerges. Does that make a popular STATEMENT about illegal immigration? Sure. But does that do the slightest thing to stop the expensive misuse of the emergency room as primary health care provider? No. Answers please, because right now I don't have any.
