I don't know what the intent of the left-leaning Los Angeles Times was when they reported last week that "Healthcare gap could be fatal for ill immigrants," but it got my attention. The article explained how an illegal Mexican immigrant snuck her infant daughter, Puente, to Los Angeles to seek treatment for a liver ailment. True to form, the infant received not one, but two liver transplants 10 years apart at an average cost of $520,000 a pop, including anti-rejection medication. Ten years later, she received a third liver transplant, all courtesy of the California taxpayers through a state health care program for indigent children under the provisions of Medi-Cal. Now she's 21 years old and the state refuses to pay for a fourth liver transplant because she's too old for a specific child program. To me, the "health care gap" that could be fatal for ill illegal immigrants was certain death for the three American taxpaying residents of California that were deprived of one because they were passed over for an illegal alien. There are only so many livers available for transplants, and obviously three deserving Americans were deprived of them.
Illegal Aliens Cost Americans More Than Taxes

A Texan- An illegal Mexican on his way to Arkansas that broke down.
Sorry, I had to put that out there. I agree. We send so much money to foreign countries for food when we need it in our back yard. That makes me mad. I also disagree with humanitarian drops. Why empower the enemy? That's another subject though. -
Couldn't agree with you guys more. I live in La-La land and it makes me sick that when my adult children were without insurance they could not get free medical care (so they went without)....but illegal aliens and their kids can and do milk the healthcare system for all its worth. I absolutely think we should ship them (and their children) out of the country and deny them any care that they do not pay for via taxes or other $$$. The country is going into a recession and things are going to get even worse for the middle and working classes. We have to take care of our own FIRST!!!
I heard on the radio yesterday that one of our infamous Mexican-American liberal activists here in California is introducing a bill that is intended to stop ICE & homeland security from performing what he calls 'raids' on California businesses to look for illegal alien employees. He says that not only do they unfairly target people based on looks or surnames, but that if they 'ding' employers and/or deport the illegals, the economy and the average wage-earners in California will suffer. HAH!!! I'd love to see if that was true! (BTW, I don't believe he has a snowball's chance in H### in getting that through the legislature....but then again, this is Mexifornia.)

This just infuriates me. I agree, our money should go to our own residents first. Geez, this makes me so mad.
