Do Illegals really use the hospital emergency rooms?
Had to visit the emergency room this weekend. Over half the people were of apparent hispanic descent. The person at the insurance desk said almost none of them have insurance. Is this typical? Last time I visited the emergency room was 5 years ago and there were almost no hispanics. Unbelievable what has happened in 5 years here in NC!

5 years ago you must have gone on a good day, cause this has been happening for 20 years. North Carolina was better back then because illegals were scarcer than they are today. Lets face it, insurance is not cheap, and employers usually dont offer decent health coverage unless you are legal. Thats why you see emergency rooms STUFFED WITH ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. :x And guess who picks up the tab? LEGAL TAXPAYERS!
