No,it's not a human right to illegally enter a country and then be taken care of regardless if you were hit by a drunk driver, a sober diver, a meteor or by lightning. There are citizens whose families were here for generaations who are as bad or worse off than this guy and are not being treated for free or at all. There are many people who are brought here for humanitarian reasons because this may be one of the few places that can offer them treatment for rare conditions, etc.doublem wrote:Right, like someone getting Medicare is really comparable to having them in someone's home. Do you realize the amount of tax dollars you are paying is like .001% for this guy. This shouldn't be an illegal immigrant issue, it is a human rights issue.DropEmJayBird wrote:Rather than give the guy a million bucks and have him go on his way, why don't we show real compaission and have doublem take the guy into his house for the rest of his life. doublem can take care of him and his bills, and the guatamalan can receive real compassion and live out the rest of his days in a nice comfy home.
That's not the case with this guy. Guatamala has any obligation to this guy. Again , money being spent on illegals is part of the problem, lack of addressing tort reform is another part. When our congress gets serious on those issues maybe they'd have proven they could improve health care. But illegals can't be addressed because of latino votes and tort reform is off the table because trial lawyers own a huge chunk of the Democratic party.
