Unwelcome? Illegal immigrants do a lot more than cut the grass. Without them, costs of many things would go up. Houses and childcare are two big ones that come to mind.
They are unwelcome, otherwise they wouldn't be called illegal and there wouldn't be border patrols setup. There seems to be a hypocrisy to it almost. It's as if people are very much against illegals getting into the country, but the second that person is successful and they are here it's as if nobody cares about them anymore to remove them.

"but I'd think that the US should be looking out for its own people first, "

Along those lines I don't think the USA has an obligation to go beyond it's borders actively searching for people who would benefit from expensive mediacl care. But if someone is here I don't think their immigration status should matter in a medical decision.

So in other words, I think the present system of making it somewhat difficult to immigrate illegally, but treating those people that we can, is actually a good compromise.

I don't particularly want to get in an argument over semantics, but I didn't say hospital resources are infinite. I said they are not finite. Those two sentences are not interchangeable.

they are interchangeable. you have FINITE and INFINITE. Infinite means NOT FINITE. hence what choices are you leaving us?? that's the way the language is, if you don't like it use different words.

The problem with bleeding hearts is that they don't have the ability to understand a shred of logic. For them, the world is all bunnies and kittens and flowers and anybody who uses logic is evil.

All I'm saying is that if you choose to come into a nation illegally and make use of their sympathetic system for health care and they screw up - as all systems do from time to time - you cannot sue them.
So you agree that Illegal Aliens are expendable when it comes to Medical Research. Joseph Mengele would have agreed with you I'm sure
Well I think there is a difference between using an illegal as a lab rat and gaining research information from an otherwise somewhat common procedure. I don't know the specifics but she wasn't being paid money to get played around with by doctors experimenting. Although it had a research aspect the real gist of it was to make her better, no different from any other transplant operation AFAIK.
Hey Canuck, keep your socialist baby fur seal clubbing opinion to yourself:):) Here I am debating this issue with you and you aren't even an American. Hell you can go get free Medical Treatment in your own country j/k

Yes it's FINITE. there is a LIMIT. hence it is FINITE.

Finite is the root word, Infinite is the modified word where in=NOT. get it??

sheesh.

this is soo stupid i have to respond to it twice. is your IQ above 60?? do you have ABSOLUTELY any idea what the words you use means??

FINITE MEANS there is a limit. Infinite is the opposite of that meaning there is NO LIMIT. OMFG, how do morons like you get access to the internet?

Exactly. Because once they are here, they are very much in demand as workers. Workers that make life better for most Americans. Why should we send them back? THAT costs the taxpayers money too. Do you want to fund millions of INS workers to patrol every new neighborhood development and restaurant? That costs money, and it will cost more when americans take over those jobs and demand a minimum wage and benefits.

If you can't keep it civil maybe you should step away for a moment to see if you can regain your composure. The alternative will be a vacation from these forums.

Get a geography book!!! Mexico IS in America..... what you mean is the USA, so say it correctly. Don't like it??? Show me a book saying that Mexico is in Europe, or somewhere else, but not in America.....

Regarding the topic of the thread, it is a tough issue. She should be denied the attention by law (I am Mexican by the way, born in Mexico, raised in Mexico, living happily in Mexico.....) . But mercy and human emotions don't know about laws, and humanitaryly she deserves the attention.

Point of view from a foreigner??? Give her the medical attention, then deport her.... period.


if you want to be technical, Mexico is in NORTH AMERICA. there is no such place as AMERICA. there are the AMERICAS but no such place as AMERICA except in commonly used jargon where AMERICA = USofA.

That is the newest division.... and it was created to be more specific about PARTS of the continent .... because "North" and "South" obviously refer to PARTS of a COMMON denominator, and the terms are intended to be more specific..... If you check also older geography books, the continent as a whole is called "America"..... and that is how it is referred even by the scripts of the first colonizers..... You are mentioning also "commonly used jargon..." You are also forgetting that the rest of the world teaches the continent as "America", with divisions in South, Central and North.....

BTW, your point of give her medical attention that deport her is interesting. i'm curious as to what you mean by medical condition tho?? should we just stabilize her condition or perform the transplant. in her case it seemed that we could of deported her w/o causing her death.

either way the answer is the same, w/ limited resources you have to have a priority list. should that list be based solely on money?? NO, should money be a consideration, Of Course. Should it be based solely on citizenship, NO, but can you ignore it, NO.

in her case she should not have been a priority and there is NOTHING sick about it, that's just how the world revolves.

Either way you completely miss the point once again.

I'll try one more time though...


If the question was posed without ANY OTHER information:

Should we save a teenage girls life if we can? Answer -> Of Course!

Then:

Should we save a poor mexican girls life with our limited resources? Answer -> Probably not.

Conclusion: I find it both sad and sick that the way the "system" (substitute: law, hospitals, or world if necessary) works currently forces us to make a decision on whether a teenage girl lives or dies based on money, resources, and nationality.

WRONG!! Your missing MY whole point. It's not the "system" that imposes limitations. It's a fact of NATURE and of LIFE that resources are limited. Do you believe that there are an UNLIMITED supply of transplantable organs and it's just the "SYSTEM" holding out on us??

Wrong! You are still missing the point completely. What I said has nothing to do with the supply of organs. Did you see the words I suggested you substitute if you were having trouble understanding? I think the word "system" might be throwing you.

Maybe I should use your words and try once more.

Conclusion: I find it both sad and sick that since it's a fact of NATURE and of LIFE that resources are limited. it currently forces us to make a decision on whether a teenage girl lives or dies based on money and nationality.

Is that helping you any?

OK here's what happens if you open the border: millions of Mexicans flock north. Generally it will be the poorest least educated first since they have the most to gain by leaving Mexico. They all get social security cards. Given the fact that many are not educated instead of filling vacant positions as doctors and team leaders in NASA they fill up the minimum wage jobs. Then once they are filled the rest go unemployed since there is no more labor for them. Then they sit on their butt and collect government benefits. The country ends up crumbling as the benefits paid out grossly overshoot those paid in by the existing taxpayers.
