1 in 4 children born in Nevada to non-citizen moms

A new report says mothers who were not U.S. citizens accounted for roughly a quarter of all births in Nevada in 2008.

According to the Reno Gazette-Journal, the report by the Census Bureau's American Community Survey says the number of births in Nevada to non-citizens ranked second highest in the nation behind California. The report did not distinguish whether the women were legal or illegal immigrants.

Health officials say non-citizens are less likely to have health insurance, and put a financial strain on hospitals.

But others say the problem shows the need for immigration reform.

Right, let's have immigration reform aka amnesty, that way when they give birth, we will still have to pay their bills, but it will all be legal.

I remembered this article below from last year.

They are also killing Nevada hospitals by all of their special medical needs. No telling how many are in the hospital there now. Nevada is going to sink under the burden just like California is doing.

This is why the Democrats want Obama's health care. That way we could no longer complain, because the illegal aliens will just blend in with the rest of us, and we will never know how much their needs are actually killing us.

Struggling County Spends Millions On Illegal Aliens’ Dialysis

In one of many examples of the burden illegal immigrants represent to the nation’s healthcare system, a struggling county hospital in Nevada spends millions of dollars monthly to provide dozens of undocumented aliens with kidney dialysis, accounting for a chunk of its operating deficit.

The University Medical Center (UMC) in Las Vegas is approaching a $70 million budget deficit but the public hospital still gives 80 uninsured illegal immigrants free kidney dialysis each month and taxpayers in the cash-strapped county pick up the hefty tab, which will total $24 million this fiscal year.

In each of the last five years the facility provided dialysis to half as many illegal immigrants for about $1 million a month but evidently the word spread among the undocumented that UMC is the place to receive the costly treatment, no questions asked. In fact, several of the illegal immigrants who get their free, U.S. taxpayer-funded dialysis were gladly featured in a local newspaper story thanking Uncle Sam for the procedure which costs $11,000 to $18,000 per visit.

Many illegal aliens have racked up tabs of tens of thousands of dollars because they had to be hospitalized for weeks or months. Others have received regular kidney dialysis at UMC for years and say they are grateful because the procedure is seldom available in their Mexican or Central American hometowns.

These sort of chronic medical treatments for illegal immigrants cost U.S. taxpayers tens of millions of dollars annually in addition to the billions for emergency medical care. In one year California, which has been forced to shut down several county hospitals, typically spends $51 million to provide more than 1,300 illegal immigrants with kidney dialysis. New York and a few other states also offer illegal immigrants expensive chronic medical care such as dialysis.

A Las Vegas newspaper editorial asks why sick illegal immigrants are allowed to remain in the country draining local government treasuries when the nation’s legal immigration process demands that incoming residents prove they are healthy and wont’ be a burden on taxpayer-funded services. It also dismisses as a myth that poor Americans are dying because they lack adequate access to healthcare when dozens of illegal immigrants can get dialysis treatments for years without paying for them.

We don't need to boycott all of Nevada, just the casinos starting with Harrah's.

If any of you Nevada members organize a protest in front of Harrah's on a weekend I would come over to join the fun.

Wake up Nevada! You're selling out yourselves, your state and our country by not enforcing US immigration law and sending the likes of Harry Reid back to the US Senate. Please stop this nonsense and help your fellow citizens to help US all to fix our country starting with stopping illegal immigration.

Birthright citizenship must be stopped. Even if the border were totally secure this population would continue to explode due to births in our country. The teen pregnancy rate for Hispanic kids is higher than any others; anchor children are now having kids. Supporting illegal aliens and their kids is bankrupting our states-it must end!
