Do you think the illegal immigrants should be allowed to purchase health care insurance-even if it's from the government?
A group of Democrats wants to include illegal aliens in the overhaul bill.






Why even have this question? They're here ILLEGALLY and should be deported back to their own country. They should have no rights whatsoever. If they want to come to this country then do it legally.

2 months agoFinally we have some informed comments. Many people that detest immigrants do not know the facts and making ignorant comments based solely on prejudice and nothing else. Many people go through great efforts to become legalized. These people do not want to live in the shadows. Many people struggle to get by on little they earn. I have seen individuals from New Summerfield working at plant farms since 1987 and only making $8.00 per hour. There are many illegal immigrants that DO PAY TAXES which they will never claim. Ironically there are many AMERICAN politicians that DO NOT PAY TAXES - why don't you get mad at them? We have a local legislator that use illegal immigrant labor to remodel his kitchen and then he would go to the Capitol and blame immigrants for all our problems. This legislator should think about that when he is sipping coffee on his new granite countertops. MANY PEOPLE drain the healthcare system - not just immigrants. Look at all the uninsured smokers that suffer complications from their toxic habit and then we pay for their hospital stay and cancer treatment. What about a woman that has several children by several diffrent men and then we pay for her prenatal care and delivery and Medicaid and free lunch for each child. Next time you visit the grocery store - look at grocery carts - nobody eats healthy - they load up on chips, soda, candy, processed foods, frozen pizza and junk. Those individuals will result in a triple bypass surgery with no medical insurance or live with diabetes. All tax payers will cover their cost regardless of which country they were born. I notice that DAVID stated that he fought for tax paying AMERICANS. I wonder if David fought on American soil? I am certain the DAVID fought also for the interest of other countries who had little respect or appreciation for the United States of America.
Illegal DOES MEAN ILLEGAL - for example when East Texas employers hire someone and the deliberatly do not verify their eligibility then the EMPLOYER is committing an ILLEGAL act. One guy that called into KTBB stated that he worked with illegal immigrants at the rose nursery. That gentleman should have called ICE if he saw a violation of the law - he was just as guilty as his employer or the illegal employee - ICE has a toll free number 1-866-DHS-2-ICE. If you see any suspicious activity then call it in FOR FREE.
What would you do if you were born in another country with less opportunities?
You are fortunate that you just happened to be born here.
If you have all this hate and anger then please DO NOT GO TO CHURCH because that will make you an automatic hypocrite - if you claim to know God but you actions words - Read Matthew 15:11 "Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man." - you can say it is free speech but it is still hate and disdain.

2 months agoYes that way they can pay for their own medical expenses. Its not just MEXICANS that are here and we always just asume they all are mexicans. Also, the illegals can not get benefits because of that same reason, the ones that get those benefits are their kids and that is because their parents get paid low wages for doing jobs LEGAL Americans dont want to do. If all of you that are putting negative comments would sit down and think you would learn that those "mexicans" are needed, who paves your roads, who mowes your lawn, the water you drink and all other things you just dont think about it. I would like to know how many white americans would take a shovel and dig a ditch for a sewer line? And some say they need to go to mexico and fix the corrupt government? We cant even fix our American government where we have to say so, much less in mexico. Once again it shows that us as americans dont take the time to learn what people have to go through to be legal, only people from cuba can just swim over and be legal. Every other country has to wait 12 years to be legal. Americans Learn Lets Learn the Facts!

2 months agoNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! They DO NOT DESERVE ANYTHING!!!!!!! As it is now, they have it better than we do. (as LEGAL CITIZENS who work hard for every penny we get) The illegals have everything handed to them on a silver platter. Oh, let me rephrase that, IT'S GOLD!!! FREE, FREE, FREE, FREE IS ALL THEY KNOW AND THEY TAKE FULL BENEFIT OF ALL THEY CAN. And that's the God's truth!!

2 months agoWhat part of "illegal" do people not understand? I do not say this to be hateful, but I thought we were suppose to be a nation of laws. With that being said, is it not unlawful to aid and abet a criminal or someone engaging in criminal activity? I believe that if illegal aliens want health care they should go back to there own country, it will cost them less there and cost the american people less too. As a bonus they are no longer engaged in a criminal act. Sounds like everyone wins that way.
