Does anybody from the pro-illegal immigrant camp have anything to say about this?????????
Didn't think so.
There's really no way to rebut this one, is there? :evil:Quote:

September 17, 2004
CNN’s Lou Dobbs speaks about this national crisis weekly. O’Reilly dabbles in it with reluctant flippancy. FOX NEWS ignores it. The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times and Miami Herald support it. La Raza, a national Hispanic pro-illegal alien and open-borders organization, licks its lips at the speed of this invasion. But, finally, TIME MAGAZINE exposed it with sobering pictures and interviews.
Illegal aliens bring Americans Third World Momentum. That includes crime, drugs and diseases. Sooner or later, every American community and millions of Americans will be affected as we allow three million illegal aliens breaching our borders annually without regard to their health, criminal background or drug expansion endeavors.
In TIME’S “WHO LEFT THE DOOR OPEN?� September 12, 2004, journalists Barlett and Steele exposed the ugly side of this invasion.
“The plight of Jim Dickson, a hospital administrator in Bisbee, Arizona summed it up in one image,� Barlett wrote. “It’s an ambulance that pulls into Copper Queen Hospital and discharges illegal aliens injured in an auto accident. The border patrol officers on orders from Washington refused to take them onto the property. Instead, the officers call an ambulance for the injured so the U.S. Government won’t be responsible for hospital costs. Instead, Dickson’s hospital gets stiffed.�
In 2003, 77 border state hospitals spiraled into bankruptcy. Instead of putting troops on the borders to stop the invasion, Arizona Senators McCain and Kyle added a $1.4 billion bailout rider onto a Medicaid bill. Instead of doing their jobs, they made taxpayers vomit their hard-earned money into paying for the invasion’s consequences. Result? It wasn’t enough. Three Los Angeles area hospitals bankrupted already this year. Dickson’s small hospital lost $1.4 million in the past three years. “The more free care we give,� he said, “the more we have to ration what’s left.�
Congress mandates hospitals serve illegal aliens but fails to mandate payment. American citizens lose care and money to the invasion.
“The highest levels of the U.S. and Mexican governments have orchestrated this situation as a kind of dance,� Steele reported. “Mexico sends its poor north to take jobs illegally and the U.S. arrests enough border crossers to create the illusion that it is enforcing immigration laws while allowing the majority to get through.�
The crisis spins so far out of control that ranchers see a day of reckoning fast approaching. Armed American militia forces stand ready to start shooting. Everyone, including women, pack guns on the border.
Even more chilling than hospitals collapsing concerns an increasing number of unchecked aliens importing diseases into the USA. In five years, 16,000 cases of multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis breached the Mexican border. In three years, 7,000 cases of leprosy (Hansen’s Disease) arrived with immigrants from India, Brazil and the Caribbean. Tens of thousands of cases of hepatitis A transplanted into America. Another South American disease, affecting 14 million and killing 50,000 annually, Chagas Disease, a parasite that attacks the heart and other organs, invades U.S. borders in the bodies of the unchecked illegal aliens.
The crisis of these diseases won’t play itself out for years. One TB carrying illegal may infect 10 to 50 other persons depending on his/her circulation in public. If he works in fast food, he may come in contact with an unlimited number of people. If he has hepatitis A and serves on the food line cutting onions or tomatoes, all customers stand at risk. If illegal alien children, now number over 1.1 million in public schools are infected, they can infect American children. This year, the Center for Disease Control announced 14, 871 new cases of tuberculosis. It's only the beginning.
Why Alien Criminals Are At Large in the U.S.
“From October 1, 2003 to July 20, 2004, the border patrol’s Tucson sector stopped 9,051 person crossing illegal who had criminal records in the U.S., meaning they committed crimes here, returned to Mexico, then were trying to re-enter the country,� Barlett wrote. “A minimum of 378 had active warrants for their arrest.�
Most go undetected.
“The numbers suggest that tens of thousands of criminals, quite possibly hundreds of thousands, treat the border as a revolving door to crimes of opportunity,� Steele wrote. “The situation is so out of control that 400,000 illegal aliens who have been ordered deported, 80,000 have criminal records, but Homeland Security does not have a clue as to the whereabouts of any of them, including those from countries that support terrorism.�
Of 114 Iranians with final orders for removal, only 11 could be found and deported. Of 67 Sudanese with final removal orders, only one was deported. Of 46 Iraqis, only four were deported. The rest are free to move about the country.
Not mentioned in the report was the 20,000 member “18th Street Gang� made up of 60% illegal aliens in Los Angeles. It distributes drugs from Mexico, commits robberies daily, extorts businesses and engages in drive-by shootings. Along with them, the 8,000 member MS 13 Central American gangs operate in 28 cities. If anyone wonders why drugs are SO available to our kids, thank our Congress for not fulfilling its oath of office. Even more sobering, these alien criminals are protected in hundreds of cities across the United States by “Special Order 40� that allows them to remain in country without fear of arrest or deportation.
“Both parties and their candidates pay lip service to controlling the borders,� Barlett wrote. “In the 99/11 commission’s final report, the panel took note of the immigration breakdown saying, “’Two systemic weaknesses came together in our border system’s inability to contribute to an effective defense against 9/11 attacks: a lack of well developed counterterrorism measures as a part of border security and an immigration system not able to deliver on its basic commitments, much less support counterterrorism.’�
The TIME report rendered severe implications toward President Bush and members of Congress on both sides of the corridor. Citizens of the United States were not being served before 9/11 and today, they are JUST as vulnerable as 4,000 illegal aliens cross our borders daily. You have to wonder when Beslan, Russia’s tragedy will visit an American school in the near future?

My parents went to the emergency room at Henry Mayo Hospital in Valencia, CA. a few weeks ago.
My mom was surprised they were seen right away when the room was crowded with Spanish speakers. My mom asked the nurse about it and the nurse said "oh they are not emergencies, they just drop by any time for whatever service they want. This is not an emergency room this is The Mexican Free Clinic."
Mom said "they don't pay?" and the nurse said "only the ones with Med i Cal."
Makes just want to SPIT ! :evil:
