I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that your Cold-Heartedness has nothing to do with the Recession.

Why should we provide free health care to illegal immigrants?

Because they're human first, and illegal second. And I'd like to think unlike the third world, we wouldn't turn away people from the emergency department because they can't pay.

Of course, this doesn't mean that they get to use this as their "insurance plan" treat them, but deport them.

So you are saying to treat them and then deport them? I would agree with that and then send the bill for their care to their home government.

I think illegals should be provided basic health care, then deported. Human compassion says you can't leave someone to die, whether they are here legally or not.... but after treating them, they need to be deported immediately.

I wonder what Mexico does with the illegal aliens they catch from Central/South America that need medical attention? Do they treat them humanely first? or is different if the shoe is on the other foot??

Heres one of many good articles on that subject: http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49620

Typically, when Mexican authorities catch illegal aliens, they place them overnight in a detention center, then bus or fly them back to their country of origin. Despite the fact that Mexico militarized its border and deported 203,128 illegal immigrants in 2004, many illegals get through by bribing corrupt military and police.

Mexico doesnt treat its own citizens very well.
I cant imagine why they would be good to others.

I like the idea of treating them and sending the bill to their home government.
