He says he has 20 years giving the immigrants healthcare, I dont know what area, but what I am seeing here in south florida, even the pretty recently immigrated are very upset at the freshest immigrated because it is taking down the standard of living for everyone. Perhaps where he is at is different than south florida, but that study does not apply here with what I am seeing with my 2 eyes. This area was once the richest region in the entire WORLD possibly - you wouldn't know it today looking around. Medical care, within 20 minutes at emergency rooms 30 years ago - now many hours - flooded with mostly mexicans. Police used to take 10 minutes most to answer a call - now over 2 hours. The influx of unedcuated immigrants is not making things better in ways I measure quality of life - most of the cubans in the nieghborhood says it is getting much worse the way they measure quality of life too. It bothers me though they were so pro immigration when thier people were coming over and have become so anti immigration towards the mexicans and haitians - seems hypocritical to me. I was not here when my parents were to see the effects of the cubans heavily influxing in the area a few decades back - perhaps they were better educated and more middle class when they came and the area and resources could absorb them - but what I am seeing now is something I definitely want to get away from - I don't have suicidal thoughts no matter the medicine he thinks I need - hehe. To stay in this crime and chaos would be suicidal. I have not met the first person that works here that wants to retire here, and I already meet many on the SI threads that leave this area and go far away - hehe.
