big bump!
Yep. We don't really even need a fence for anything other than criminals.(and I want it. A tall one). If you stop what they are coming for they will stay home. How many Americans do you see rushing the Mexican border.
The quality of medical care in California ERs has collapsed under the burden of "free" care. Some beautiful young actress just died from pneumonia in Los Angeles after being turned away twice from an ER.
Well, at least we have our cheap lettuce.
This is so obvious, and yet it will never happen. Illegal border crossings were never a major problem until the creation of the welfare-entitlement state magnet.
Yeah, yeah I know. EVERYTHING Bush's fault. I prefer to go forward instead of backwards. It's time to fix the problem , not waste valuable time figuring out who caused it.IMO. As for freedom you have the right to say what you want. I have the right to disagree. JR has the right to ban if he doesn't want something on his web site. You have the right to continue it eleswhere. Sounds like a lot of freedom to me:')
Boring - this is very old news indeed. What do you think drove Calif Prop 186 back in 1994? We inherited the results long ago - now the rest of the country is catching up.
When my husband was in medical school at USC (U of Souther California) he delivered quite a few babies at the USC hospital. He said that many of the women told him that their doctors in Mexico gave them instructions on how to get to USC, and that their care would be free (free to them). They had directions on how to get to LA, and what buses to take to get to the hospital. Ain't that just great?
Some of the families who have anchor children do live in Mexico, across the border. There was a scandal in San Diego a few years ago - it turned out that school buses were going to the border, picking up kids whose families lived in Mexico (after all, these children were American citizens) and taking them to school. It seems that some government agency was putting a stop to it (can't remember which one, too many years ago) but that the schools didn't want it stopped. They wanted those kids to attend. Why? Because the schools get dollars for every little butt sitting at a school desk, whether they are here legally or not, and those kids meant dollars. A friend of mine who lived in the area told me that the school actually called him up when his daughter was home sick, and "encouraged" him to send her back as soon as possible, because for every kid that isn't there, it means a loss of federal dollars. They don't care about the kid, they just want the money.
"In this regard, he has been an utter failure."
I hate to say it, but you are 100% right. I will never forget shortly after Bush got in (and before 9/11 needless to say), I felt we needed to get Al Gore back. Bush seemed to want to be Presidente of Mexico and Clintoon was happily playing Mayor of Harlem.
Here was my motto: Bush in '04 somebody meaner in '08.
Come to my office building, the ENTIRE NATION of Ecuador is there EVERY DAY. In the words of the great Pearl Gould: Enough is enough and that's too much.
That may very well be, but have you ANY idea how many ignorant sheeple HAVEN'T yet heard?
SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!
I had the experience several years ago of taking my mother in law to the emergency toom at Stanford hospital for a serious breathing problem. They took her in right away because of her issue, but I was amazed at what I saw there. You had to walk through a metal detector to get into the waiting room, and I had to turn over a pocket knife I always carry. (got it back). The room was pretty packed, and hardly anyone spoke English. A lot of the people there appeared to parents with sick children, didn't appear to be emergencies. I don't know how many of them were illegal, can't tell by looking, but I'd never seen anything like before.
When my own mother was visiting from another state, she had an asthma attack and I took her to the emergency room at a hospital in Walnut Creek. It was not a county hospital like SF General. They weren't jam packed, and everyone spoke Enlish. No metal detectors, either. I would expect that this hospital didn't have much "illegal" clientel. I don't know how hospitals near the border can keep their emergency rooms open.
The big city (California and elsewhere) ERs are in free fall collapse due to the illegal invasion army, oops I meant undocumented immigrants.
I see no movement on this by GW. By next yr at this time the dems will be leading on this issue. There will be a dem president in 2008. The Sup Court will be changed with the liberal/international agenda. The consequences will be devastating to conservatives. All because GW is either too dumb or too stubborn or too compromised to handle this illegal invasion. Don't forget our role of being suckered continually into voting in this "Two-Party Cartel".
Are they just figuring this out?
LA hospitals have gone broke years ago, closed etc. TB has been on the increase for years. It will continue to get worse until this country becomes just like the rest of the third world with all their infectious disease and economic problems.
Hello!!
It's gone way past the point of being able to fix the problem now.
