    I didn't talk to them so I can only assume they meant to have a higher quality of life.

    If there was no demand, there would be no supply. What do you propose, legalizing all those heavy duty drugs?

    That's local, and that's their issue.
    As a non resident of Ca, it affects me none to little.

    If we pulled all funding for drug interdiction and enforcement south of us, what would it change? The drug lords would just become more powerful. Need to kill the demand and the way we are doing that is not working.

    Again, local issues.
    What federal money is being used to support them.
    Use facts, not RW assumptions.

    This is a blatant lie that has been refuted by the TRUTH innumerable times on this forum:


    1) Undocumented immigrants get Medicare for free.
    Facebook posts on Thursday, January 31st, 2019 in a Facebook post


    Truth: [​IMG]




    source: https://www.politifact.com/facebook...documented-immigrants-dont-get-medicare-free/




    2) Illegals cannot get health care coverage:


    https://www.healthcare.gov/immigrants/coverage/


    quote: "Undocumented immigrants aren’t eligible to buy Marketplace health coverage, or for premium tax credits and other savings on Marketplace plans"




    3)
    No, Undocumented Immigrants Aren’t Stealing Your Benefits
    But they DO help pay for yours.


    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/no-u...ling-your-benefits_b_5a144263e4b010527d6780b0








    As always, the patriotic TRUTH always defeat the right wing pretensions.

    There's a difference between MEDICARE and MEDICAID.

    You're entire post became invalid the second you posted MEDICARE.

    Especially when I didn't even mention MEDICARE.

    the right wing always says that when it is about Capitalism.

    there is no longer any social Power to Prohibit forms of Commerce since the Repeal of that Bad Idea, last millennium.

    I don't know how that relates to my post about pulling funding for drug enforcement in countries you claim suffer from our war on drugs? Are you suggesting that there should be no interference in the buying and selling of illegal drugs? And are you suggesting that only the RW are against this free market because.....capitalism? The Libertarian side of me says your body your choice when it comes to that, but there is a lot of data that says that is extremely harmful to a society.

    Way to cover up the fact you have no friggin clue who or what MEDICAID or MEDICARE covers.

    Go study. Then come back. Maybe you won't make an idiot of yourself next time you post.

    They use the ER rooms as their primary care physicians.......it increases their chance of getting that all-important temporary Medicade card which leads to free medical care I.e you and I pay for the illegal invaders medical care........while also paying for our own.........feel like a sucker yet?

    Personal attack noted. Too bad the right wing mods never do anything about it when such TOS violations take place. Of course, if I retaliated that would be a bit different. ;)


    Note that my links prove my case, yours don't.

    FAIL, again.

    You proved absolutely nothing! You didn’t even know that Medicaid covered an illegal immigrants Caesarian section!

    You made a complete idiot out of yourself then you go crying to the mods. That’s rich.

    Welcome to the ignore list.

    I had a family member in the ER room, only 2 or 3 hours.
    The medical bill before insurance was $8,000.
    It wasn't anything hugely major either, they essentially just scrubbed his wounds and put bandages on him.

    Illegals are driving up the costs for everyone else.

    If the incident happens anywhere within 4 hours of the border they should rush that patient down to an ER room in Mexico.
    I don't even care all that much if the US pays for it, it would still be a LOT cheaper in Mexico.

    Ya'll should feel that way.
    Your parties won't do anything to address the immigration issue.
    A wall won't address it, so leave that one off. Since 66% of illegal immigrants overstayed their visas.

    Maybe if companies such as tRUMPs golf courses didn't hire them, they would go back home.

    Ya'll whine about illegals and the cost, but let the 2 parties just sit on their duffs.
    Especially the party that you all claim to be a part of and got hoodwinked into believing this magical wall that MEXICO will pay for, is going to fix the problem. Feel like suckers yet?

    Your 66% number is inaccurate.........
