People who are complaining about this would rather have an epidemic? Immunizations aren't only for the people getting immunized - it protects the entire population.

[Dante3]

Let's just deport them.

[processing please hold]

Maybe he wants to arrest them when they come in for their shot. Hey, I can dream can't I?

[SJackson]

Yes, they do need them. If they aren't immunized, the disease can really spike in their populations and then get into the general population.

That's true. But we know they're here working, why can't they pay for the shots like American workers. No one asks for an ID when you get a flu shot, it's like voting.

[Stone Mountain]

forcing tax payers to support the health needs of criminals the government refuses to do anything about is worse than a slap in the face of every law abiding citizen.

Supporting their health needs supports our health needs. An epidemic hurts everyone.

[Dead Corpse]

Justifying lawless socialism with more socialism doesn't work. Google up "circular logic".

[Southerngl]

GIVE it to people who are here by breaking the law. Charge the rest of us.

Yeah, I'm liking you less and less every day President Bush.

What kind of super secret deal did you make with illegal aliens for crying out loud??? You seem to go out of your way to make life cushy for them here and to hell with the rest of us!

Unless you haven't noticed, we KNOW NOTHINGS, have YOU outnumbered. You may not give a crap about this country, its security, and its sovereignty, but we KNOW NOTHINGS do. Run along....isn't there some day in the life of the president thread calling your name?

See post 24. Unless you're proposing free flu shots for everyone, why shouldn't illegals pay for their shots?

[lowbridge]

Republicans now saying doctors should work for free and give medical stuff away.

They obviously learned NOTHING from the last election.

[spectre]

Could we sign the women up for free birth control shots as well?

If YOU get YOUR flu shot, and your family gets theirs, you shouldn't have to worry about an epidemic.

Hmmmm... Government supplied and payed for? Let's get our terminology correct here... The government may be writing the checks, but it's the taxpayers who are paying for it... So I get to help pay for their flu shots... Damn, and I just payed $62.00 for flu and pneumonia shots myself. Maybe I should have waited and just said "no habla english."

The implementation of this pandering, sorry, plan, will be interesting. How does one prove he's an illegal? There's no "illegal ID". Ask after the shot maybe? That'll be $20, unless you're an illegal. And have you registered to vote?

[CottShop]

I'm not really against htis as we have a huge overabundance of flu shots that will be wasted if people don't get them & the flu shot makers are going to take a HUGE hit once again if they have to dump millions of doses on the ground- Socialized state controlled flu shots have proven such a win win situation for flu shot makers [sarcasm alert] http://sacredscoop.com

[spectre]

Bingo!

[CottShop]

oh and at LEAST make the illegals PAY for the shots- infact, charge them double!

[Tzimisce]

...but if we can't find them, how can we give them flu shots?

[Kimberly GG]

Cowboy, Bush is backing Senate Bill 2611 and not only does he refuse to close the border, I seem to remember him wanting to make sure that the illegals not only collect Social Security for the years they've worked here ILLEGALLY, he wants them to collect for any time worked before they came here. Anyone have any links on this information?

[Rakkasan1]

maybe they could do the ol' felony warrant bait & switch:

send the "you won a plasma TV" flyer to the wanted(in this case , illegals) when they show up for their free gubmint cheeze...GOTCHA & see ya later.
