Thanks to a completely perverse interpretation of the 14th amendment, that baby, as an automatic citizen, will be eligible for any and all benefits for the rest of its life. Then that baby will serve as an anchor to secure citizenship and legal residency for not only its parents but the entire extended family, because "we don't want to separate families \s"
California: The largest insane asylum in the world.
There are so many Mexicans flooding the medical system that many medical facilities are like socialized medicine in California. Lines and slow service. Illegals should be using community clinics.
Illegals and various other indigents routinely use emergency rooms as primary care facilities. They show up in the ER when one of their 10 kids has a sniffle, slowing down the triage for patients who are there for actual emergencies.
What I find most disturbing about California is that every insane policy and social trend that takes root there inevitably takes over the rest of America just a few years later. It takes only about a year or two to spread to liberal urban areas, but within a decade, the rot spreads to all states or to the Federal level. California started the process of treating illegals as a special, protected class of people, and now most of the country is converted to DACA and wailing about how terrible it is to "break up families at the border."
Because of illegals there are far, FAR fewer hospitals in southern CA than there were 20 years ago. They literally ran the hospitals into the ground financially.
My mother, who died in January, was not eligible for MediCal—her Social Security check was just too high. She paid taxes to the US and California for most of her 99-year long life. But I was told that there were no benefits besides Medicare that she was entitled to during her final illness. But California apparently can’t wait to extend benefits denied my mom to people who shouldn’t be in the country or state to begin with, and who pay virtually no taxes at all.
What is our safeguard against a whole state that is a danger to the country?
...who live in the state illegally to receive medical care paid for by the government...
Paid for by the Government? Paid for by stupid arse Calipornia Taxpayers!
Plus when you are standing next to them in line at the pharmacy you don't know what that cough is that they have...tuberculosis or black plague that should have been blocked at the border. I've noticed allot of them wear masks walking around the facilities.
“The latest plan would carry an estimated price tag of $3 billion a year, according to California’s Legislative Analyst’s Office, which would be paid for by the state’s general fund. Medicaid is otherwise jointly funded by the state and federal governments.”
NO it’s paid for by the state’s (stupid) taxpayers and by the nations taxpayers.Time for a France like rebellion.
These days, cut off all federal funding.
I think it was Milton Friedman who's credited with saying you can have open borders OR a welfare state but not both (or something like that).
Certain traitors among us are hell bent on putting that theory to the test.
