What will the hospitals do without their flood of ER patients?  Will the hospitals go out of business like the slumlords are?

No but the emergency room personnel are going to sharpen up their solitaire skills.

My daughter needed some stitches on a Sunday last summer.  I spent the three hours waiting wondering how many of these folks were going to be paying their bill and how much the $1000 it cost me and my insurance company was paying for the others.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Justin, it actually turns out that those mostly unpaid ER bills from illegals are actually killing hospitals, but I suspect you knew that already.  Thanks for a good laugh, though.  :^)

Personally, having spent far too much time in the ER lobby waiting for a shot of painkiller when passing a gallstone a couple of months ago, I’d welcome the thought of shorter waiting times in the ER!

(somehow I bet Rob understands....I’m pretty sure it was a whole TEN MINUTES of Hell before I got my shot of Percocet or whatever it was....yes I’m a wimp!)

On a serious(er) note, I’m glad to see the new law seems to be bearing fruit.  Maybe the states will do what the feds deliberately have failed to do?

MEXICAN ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION - REFORM CONSIDERATIONS

It is very economically advantageous to use cheap Mexican seasonal agricultural guest workers; it is very socially and economically disadvantageous to let them stay after the crop is harvested.

When seasonal guest workers do return to Mexico at end of the growing season, they return with money and experience, to contribute to the development of Mexico; and each year, when a new group of seasonal guest workers comes, they are eager to work for the same low non-citizen wages.

And, when they return to Mexico at end of the growing season, they do not drive down the wages of American workers, by competing for jobs in landscaping, construction, sanitation, and housekeeping; and they do not use American governmental social services.

Mexico is land rich in natural resources; what makes it so socially and economically poor are its Mexican People; and wherever they immigrate they bring their deplorable civilization with them. It is so inferior than none of them want to return to it.

The Mexican dream of regaining political control over Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California is America’s worst nightmare. Starting at all of the border towns, and spreading northward throughout America, like cancers, are thousands of deplorable Mexican neighborhoods.

With each deportation America looks, smells, and sounds less like socially and economically deplorable Mexico. America is presently occupied by 12-15 million Mexicans.

With the deportation of all the illegal immigrants, students will again be able to get good paying summer jobs, to learn responsibility and earn their way through college; blue-collar wages will rise; border towns will not be slums; Spanish will not be a second language; crime will go down; hospitals and prisons will not be overcrowded.

When seasonal guest workers come from all of the countries of Latin America, on a strict quota system, then every country benefits, not Mexico exclusively; and when they are well treated, the experience is mutually positive.

When all of the illegal aliens are deported, the Neo-Lib Democrats and Neo-Con Republicans will lose millions of political supporters, and the vast donations that they receive from the Mexican Lobby; and, those American businesses that exploit cheap Mexican labor will lose their illegal competitive advantages.

No rich superior civilization in the World can coexist side by side with a poor inferior civilization, without a great wall or fence, strict guest labor laws, armed border guards, and fines for hiring illegal aliens.

Dead on on every point.

Mexico has deep problems that eventually must be solved.  Their biggest problem is the complete lack of a middle class.  But ironically, NAFTA is changing that.  Building infrastructure and developing their own economy is changing that.

We are not getting Mexico’s educated, their middle class.  We are getting their least educated and most impoverished.  They come to our country to get healthcare, education, work, and so on.  And the poor realize quickly how vastly superior America and our opportunity is to Mexico.

We need Mexico to provide their own opportunities.  We need their economy to grow stronger.  We need their middle class to expand.  And the only way to do that is to ship home the folks in the US that do not belong here and let them rebuild Mexico’s economy.  Ironically, Mexico is complaining about Arizona’s new law because their schools and healthcare cannot handle the influx of their OWN CITIZENS returning over Arizona’s new labor laws.
