Here is video of a raucous Town Hall Meeting at Suffolk County Community College in Brentwood, New York, where Democrat Congressman Steve Israel faced a skeptical crowd as he tried to make the case for the Democrats' Health Care Plan.

I haven’t “been played.” I’ve been to McAllen, and know the score. The numbers of illegal foreign nationals living in that community and feeding from the public trough massively skew any possible numbers you could have.
But, to whatever extent the numbers you cite are correct, you’ve made the main point quite clearly anyway that McAllen is not a normal case. Which means, of course, that the leftwing Democrat in question is using an extreme case to try and impose his socialist views and policies on the rest of the country.
Extreme examples make for very bad public policy, no matter how you slice it.
