What are we going to do about it? Laws mean nothing when illegal aliens are concerned. You read the link I posted earlier about the situation here.

Here is another one from FITZ.

HOUSTON (AP) -- A criminal investigation was launched Monday after complaints that a county hospital district is forcing the public to fund non-emergency health care for illegal immigrants.

District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal is investigating the Harris County Hospital District. The complaint was filed by the Young Conservatives of Texas.

''I commented to several people that, 'I can't proceed without a complaint,' but with all the attention I was sure I would get one,'' he said.

The prosecutor said he agrees with an opinion issued by Texas Attorney General John Cornyn earlier this month on a 1996 federal law.

Cornyn interpreted the law to say that states cannot provide non-emergency health care to illegal immigrants unless the state legislature has enacted a law allowing such expenditures since 1996.

Cornyn said Texas has no such law and recommended that Harris County's hospital district stop offering such services.

Harris County, Dallas County, Bexar County and El Paso County have continued providing the care to illegal immigrants, saying to stop doing so would threaten public health, clog emergency rooms and result in a larger expense to taxpayers.

The law says STOP!! The hospitals say AIN'T GONNA' DO IT!! And we end up picking up the tab for these people.

When are we going to force government to do their jobs and enforce the laws? And that starts with arresting and deporting illegal aliens. What part of ILLEGAL doesn't this administration understand?
