Bullshit. It's illegal aliens and their kids driving us broke on
health-care costs to the public; you go over to the health department
- and most of the caseload is visibly Hispanic, doesn't understand
English, and young. That's in a state in which "Hispanics" only came
in significant numbers 9-10 years ago - and "Hispanic" is a code word
for illegal aliens if they are adult.

We are stuck between an ideological rock and a hard place. The
Republicans don't believe in euthanasia and if a husband wants to pull
the plug on his brain-dead wife, a special session of congress is held
and the president flies in from Crawford, Texas to to try to prevent
it. The Democrats, on the other hand, don't want to see people suffer
with illness, without treatment, even if there is no cure.

bottom line is conservatives want people to suffer. It is good for
business. That's why they are in favor of forcing people to have
children they don't want, want to deny health care to people who need
it, are in favor of big business doing anything they want including
poisoning the environment, and are in favor of endless war.

I agree with you totally. Illegal aliens are the kiss of death for
society.
Our local hospital's losses stem from emergency room treatment for
illegals. If hospitals stopped treating these invaders perhaps they
would find life much more difficult.

If people quit hiring them and quit buying the vegetables they pick and
eating in the restaurants who hire them, they would soon go home for greener
pastures. So we have only ourselves to blame.

Really?

Forced copulation?

First I've heard of that.

So, after decades of demanding "free" healthcare for everyone, they're now
complaining about the costs that they insisted on taking on?
