It's time for the decision to break our laws to carry risk and consequences. Maybe eventually the advice from one would-be illegal to another will be more like, "Don't risk it. If you're an illegal alien in America, not only will they lock you up and deport you, but you won't be able to get medical care since you need to be a citizen at their hospitals."

Sure, people from other countries would like to be here since we have more opportunity and freedom than the rest of the world. But the way to do that is to legally apply and be accepted by the official departments regulating that. We won't continue to have freedoms if we bankrupt ourselves looking after other people who, since illegal, should not be here in the first place.

Use that bleeding heart attitude for the citizens first. Charity begins at home.

yes, it does. but it doesn't end there. i think if an illegal alien needs care, they should give it to them and then send them home. if they do things to keep them from even arriving, they have solved the problem. however, i will not agree that ignoring an emergency is the way to keep us solvent. solve the initial problem that is causing the ancillary issues. then you haven't gotten the various and sundry other issues to deal with.
