RE:"Jim, what's a state government to do? They have no authority to control the flow of illegal immigrants to their state. The Feds are incapable of taking a stand. They figure why should we pay? Let everyone pay. I completely disagree with that bill." Well, I know I can't get the federal government to pay for my medical care and I'm a legal citizen. Of course the underlying theme here is if the federal government could control illegal immigration we wouldn't have the problem...for some reason this gets lost in the solution. RE:"According to some people here the reason the illegal immigrants may work there is because the local americans are too lazy/unwilling to do the jobs the illegal immigrants do. If they get off their assess and take those jobs then the illegal immigrants would go elsewhere and their state wouldn't need the Fed $$$$" I agree. It's a lame arguement. I find it usually comes from cushy people from northeastern states unfamiliar with what's going on on our southern border. The US routinely gives visas to migraant workers and contract workers to work within the US. There are reasons Visas are required. Supposedly to make sure they leave, know their where abouts, even check for criminal records before they come. Lord forbid they check for a medical exam. Jim
