Joe Legal vs. Jose Illegal(I never realized how good illegals have it financially)

[VA Voter]

You have two families: “Joe Legal” and “Jose Illegal”. Both families have two parents, two children, and live in California . Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted. Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash “under the table”.

Ready? Now pay attention . . .

[VA Voter]

This is scary stuff.

The media make no distinction between legal and illegal immigrants. That has to be deliberate.

TRUE STORY:

I call up the hospital about the cost to have a baby.

$10,000 if you have insurance.

$3,000 if you have no insurance and pay before you leave.

Or, “Go to the Medicaid office. Medicaid doesn’t check any papers — you can be undocumented. Go sign up!!!”

“Wait,” says Naive Me, “people get Medicaid coverage who aren’t in this country legally?”

“Yes.”

So.... free healthcare... no taxes... (everything listed in your article).

???

This is an unsustainable system.

But... that’s the point. Right?

One factoid that this article leaves out is that all those illegals vote for the Democrats who enable them.

Jose Illegal receives a $500.00 per month federal rent subsidy. Jose Illegal pays out that $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $ 31,200.00.

They are a little bit off there. Try this: Jose Illegal receives a $500.00 per month federal rent subsidy. Jose Illegal pays $1,500 per month to rent a three bedroom house with a garage fixed up into a living quarters. Jose charges $500.00 per month to his cousins Juan, Manuel, Miguel and Enrique. (4 x 500 = $2000-$1,500= $500.00 net per month). Jose Illegal still has $ 31,200.00. Jose pockets the $500.00 per month subsidy as well as the profit from his cousins.

Just a minor oversight ;-)

A number of years back when our youngest son was born, our hospital also offered special rates to those without insurance. The hospital clearly made up for the gracious discount they gave to those without insurance by hiking the price for those who did have it. With insurance, the charge was 400% higher. Since we had to pay the deductible and co-pay, we ended up paying out of pocket more than those who had no insurance at all. This after paying for our insurance in the first place.

They always talk newspeak... Illegal is the new legal.
One of the recent additions - army in Iraq is now called “non-combat troops involved in combat”.

People may think you are kidding, but I know this to be a fact more times than not.

In the 80’ we had 2 kids before insurance. Cash pay-out 1800 each plus doctors, incidentals etc.... roughly 2500+. Started working for a major company with outstanding insurance by the early 90’s. Had 3 more kis and our 20% and deductible was more then when we paid cash.

There is an older e-mail "hoax" that has resurfaced that says (in part):

6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.

The LA times says that is a LIE!!

Here is what they say the truth is:

This information apparently comes from a 1987 article in which The Times visited a sampling of properties across the county and looked for unauthorized garage conversions. The story concluded that 200,000 people lived in such dwellings.

Here is a link: LA Slimes

I am reminded of the scene in Dr. Strangelove where the General says:

I'm not saying we won't get our hair mussed a little bit, but 15 to 20 milliuon, tops!

When my first son was born in 1958 (I think) the bill paid by our blue cross insurance was for 5 days for me and 5 days nursery....The total will blow your mind......150.00. We had to pay 4 dollars for the tv....I still have that bill
