    Jesus and caring for people is a strawman?

    I guess so.

    What relevance does your belief in a sky daddy have in this discussion, other than to bait someone into some into believing they hold some contradictory position?

    The basic relevance is the fact that the right pretends to care about "Christian" values, but they don't adhere to them.

    No biggie.

    Some people on the left does that as well. Again, not sure how combatting bad arguments with other bad arguments helps at all..

    Well I suggest getting over it.

    It was simply a sarcastic comment about the right and their phony values.

    So if you have some brilliant solutions to solve stuff, feel free to share them.

    How about... don't do it? If you believe religion is dogma, why would you use dogma to appeal to the pathos... It's nonsensical.

    No big deal. This is how an independent mind looks at the world.

    Although I agree in principle, the problem is that they will go to the ER and clog it up so that we can not get medical attention. And we
    end up paying anyway.

    Lots of discussions on all the problems, and there are many problems, that stem from the fact we don't control our border. During the discussions on all the problems, there is name calling, finger pointing, blame, demonstrations, set-ins, boycotts, speeches, more speeches, and heated arguments. None of which has ever solved any of the problems. But all the problems would disappear if the border was secure. Duh.

    This point always makes me laugh. I suppose EVERY illegal will have something happens that puts them in the emergency room? Are they gonna have a mass car accident or something? REDICULOUS!

    To be precise, the idea is to offer healthcare insurance (not free healthcare) to illegal immigrants, something that is prohibited under the ACA.

    No, those that need medical attention will go to the ER, and it does not take a lot of people to clog an ER. Hardly REDICULOUS.
    Have you ever been to a Dr's office when there are lots of people there with the flu?

    Let's look at it this way. The Democratic Party should be held accountable for the opioid deaths, polio, TB and every other disease they brought across the border. Proceeds should be used to pay for treatment of Americans, compensation for lost lives, and the remaining funds may be used to send the diseased illegal Democrats back where they belong. George Soros should pay for disease prevention and treatment in Central America.

    Would jesus make promises like free healthcare for everyone on earth knowing he didn't have enough healthcare to go around?

    Would jesus take your doctor and give your doctor to someone else?

    Oh yes, lets mandate that US citizens must have health INSURANCE, but let some unvaccinated, disease bearing people in, so the taxpayers can foot the bill for 'free' (to them) medical care..... You just stated that they could cause an epidemic, so how about you pay for their medical care?

    While I can wholly believe that certain groups believe the taxpayer's pockets are bottomless, how about putting YOUR money where your mouth is, and pay for it all yourself? Why do you demand that other people pay for something they don't support?

    Do you actually think people don't go the ER for non-emergent care?

    Does it cover stuff like this?
    Australian seagulls carry antibiotic-resistant superbugs

    Perhaps Australians ought to be a bit more "inclusive" with their free programs and possibly prevent this from happening.

    No we should burden the working class more so that they can't go to the doctor themselves because their tax burden is so high due to paying for illegal immigrats healthcare

    In either scenario the hospitals will be clogged with people who are here illegally slowing down actual citizens ability to be seen. If we advertise free healthcare won't that bring more illegals clogging the system more thereby hurting citizens even more?

    I like to read on the Aboriginals when I think of Australian free healthcare. It's so progressive they can go in for a checkup and end up with an abortion and all their reproductive organs removed, free of charge! ;)

    What a country, WHAT A SYSTEM!

    If they pay for it, that's fine! But you and I know damn well they wont, they avoid any sort of paper trail. That's just another in a LONG list of problems with people being here illegally and another half thought out IDEA from the leftist organization..
