California, a bankrupt state, is a perfect example of the ultimate conclusion to tax-and-spend liberalism. One would think that the billions spent on illegal aliens might alert Arnold to one of the most obvious solutions to Caleefornia's fiscal plight. But he and the legislature refuse to get serious and initiate reforms. Instead, they chose to get into the long bailout line with their tin cup and have the national tax payers foot the bill for their egregious economic and social irresponsibility. As tax consumers continue to flood in from Mexico, and taxpayers flee, the state is sinking in a sea of red ink. Fed up with rising crime rates and rising taxes to subsidize illegal aliens, 150,000 whites are leaving California each year. California is going home to Mexico. Who can deny it? With 43% of all Californians under eighteen Hispanic, California is becoming - indeed, has become - a Third World state.

time to tell them to take care of themselves. they’ve had enough help.

Anchor baby laws need to be repealed, and the repeal needs to be made retro active 18 years.

If we’d just remove the American born children to the safety of official state creche’s, they could be raised up to serve in the ranks of a restructured Border Patrol geared toward keeping Mexicans in Mexico.

Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas is a fairly
famous institution and for a variety of reasons:

1. John F. Kennedy died there in 1963
2. Lee Harvey Oswald died there shortly after
3. Jack Ruby-who killed Lee Harvey Oswald, died there a few
years later..by coincidence

‘On the flip side, Parkland is also home to the second
busiest maternity ward in the country with almost 16,000 new
babies arriving each year. (That’s almost 44 per
day-—every day)

A recent patient survey indicated that 70 percent of the
women who gave birth at Parkland in three months were
illegal immigrants. That’s 11,200 anchor babies born
every year just in Dallas

According to the article, the hospital spent $70.7 million
delivering 15,938 babies but managed to end up with almost
$8 million dollars in surplus funding. Medicaid kicked in
$34.5 million, Dallas County taxpayers kicked in $31.3
million and the feds tossed in another $9.5 million.

The average patient in Parkland ‘s maternity wards is
25 years old, married and giving birth to her second
child.

She is also an illegal immigrant.

By law, pregnant women cannot be denied medical care based
on their immigration status or ability to pay. OK, fine.
That doesn’t mean they should receive better care than
everyday, middle-class American citizens. But at Parkland
Hospital , they do. ‘ Parkland Memorial Hospital has
nine prenatal clinics’.

That’s right !!!! NINE.

The Dallas Morning News article followed a Hispanic woman
who was a patient at one of the clinics and pregnant with
her third child-—her previous two were also born at
Parkland . Her first two deliveries were free and the
Mexican native was grateful because it would have cost $200
to have them in Mexico. This time, the hospital wants her
to pay $10 per visit and $100 for the delivery but she was
unsure if she could come up with the money. Not that it
matters, the hospital won’t turn her away. (I wonder why
they even bother asking at this point.)

‘How long has this been going on? What are the
long-term affects?

Well, another subject of the article was born at Parkland
in 1986 shortly after her mother entered the US illegally -
now she is having her own child there as well. (That’s
right, she’s technically a US citizen.)

These women receive free prenatal care including
medication, nutrition, birthing classes and child care
classes. They also get freebies such as car seats, bottles,
diapers and formula.

Most of these things are available to American citizens as
well but only for low-income applicants and even then, the
red tape involved is almost insurmountable.

Because these women are illegal immigrants, they do not
have to provide any sort of legitimate identification - no proof of income. An American citizen would have to provide a
social security number which would reveal their annual
income - an illegal immigrant need only claim to be poor and
the hospital must take them at their word.

Parkland Hospital offers indigent care to Dallas County
residents who earn less than $40,000 per year. (They also
have to prove that they did not refuse health coverage at
their current job. Yeah, the ‘free’ care is not so
easy for Americans.)

There are about 140 patients who received roughly $4
million dollars for un-reimbursed medical care. As it turns
out, they did not qualify for free treatment because they
resided outside ofDallas County so the hospital is going
to sue them! Illegal’s get it all free! But U. S
citizens who live outside of Dallas County get sued!
How stupid is this?

As if that isn’t annoying enough, the illegal immigrant
patients are actually complaining about hospital staff not
speaking Spanish . In this AP story, the author speaks
with a woman who is upset that she had to translate comments
from the hospital staff into Spanish for her husband. The
doctor was trying to explain the situation to the family and
the mother was forced to translate for her husband who only spoke Spanish. This was apparently a great injustice to her.

In an attempt to create a Spanish-speaking staff, Parkland
Hospital is now providing incentives in the form of extra
pay for applicants who speak Spanish. Additionally, medical
students at the University of Texas Southwestern for which
Parkland Hospital is the training facility will now have a
Spanish language requirement added to their already
jammed-packed curriculum. No other school in the country
boasts such a ridiculous multi-semester (multi-cultural) requirement.

( Sorry for the length, but this needs wide circulation
particularly to our ‘employees’ in Congress.)

Remember that this is only ONE hospital in Dallas , Texas
. There are many more hospitals across our country that also
have to deal with this.

You have not seen any thing as yet. Wait until Obie and the Demwits (and some lacking good judgments repubs)make illegals legal.............Then Cal-e-forn-e-a will really be broke and so will our social security............................

[elpadre]

deport illegal aliens and:

1, reduce unemployment

2. reduce deficit

3. reduce crime

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Excellent comments in post #1 T.L.

[dennisw]

Liberals love anchor babies. Illegal immigration could be eliminated if it weren’t for that anchor baby bull.

[Oldpuppymax]

So how long will actual Americans allow illegal aliens to bankrupt our nation?

[CottonBall]

I keep wondering what the state (and the rest of the nation) would be like if Prop 187 had been allowed to stand a decade ago. I don’t think we’d be facing nearly the number of problems from illegal immigration if the people had been allowed a voice.

[HiJinx]

Ping!

[kellynla]

And you think FL is in better shape?

FYI,thanks to your former governor's brother, the ENTIRE COUNTRY is quickly going to hell in a hand basket because of his refusal to enforce the immigration laws of this country, secure BOTH borders AND DEPORT ALL illegal aliens...and I won't even get into the 100K incarcerated foreigners that are costing Americans BILLIONS OF DOLLARS annually.

[Clintonfatigued]

[La Enchiladita]

I noted today more billboard advertising in Spanish.
Business and govt work hand in hand in these things. Govt dishes out the money and it is spent at the businesses, who more and more cater to Spanish-speaking.

We gringas and gringos foot the bill. CA has raised sales tax one percent. It is now 9.25percento.

More surcharges and raised fees in the works. They are actually following a formalized plan, as outlined by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) to redistribute wealth from U.S to Mexico.

[denydenydeny]

Strictly speaking, they shouldn't be eligible for any such services.

Not all that strictly. Prop 187 specifically outlawed all of this, but then of course some judge, using the divine right of kings or something, decided otherwise.

[2harddrive]

Why can’t we exprt the illegal aliens to Somalia, and Kenya? They can join the Pirates!

[Redbob]

"Illegal Alien Costs Rising Sharply"

And they will continue to do so, with Zero continuously finding new handouts for them.

[monocle]

Riots almost broke out with the disclosure of the bonuses($160+ millions) paid to AIG executives but the silence following these diclosures wii be deafening.
