Now you multiply that by more counties and more states that have illegals and the taxpayer is being burdened by illegal immigration. Greedy corporate businesses are the ones exploiting these people ---- NOT the American citizen. Also $82,000 a year is not poverty. Get real.

Federal law ALREADY requires that ALL persons needing medical attentioon MUST be seen at a hospital. This is called DECENCY and COMPASSION. Federal law also requires children be allowed to be educated. One of the reasons for this is that employers have exploited Hispanic workers, in order to pay less than minimum wage, give no benefits, and not have to contribute to workmen's compensation/health insurance. Exploting foreign labor is "the American way." Kathy–What seems to be your problem? Federal law ALREADY requires that ALL persons needing medical attentioon MUST be seen at a hospital.

This country since the elction of Reagan has basically become a plutocracy and not a democracy. At some point we will make the same discovery as Astronmoers -except we will say that plutocrats are NOT part of our Solar system :) Agreed on the Clinton comment.

I am quite sure it has nothing to do with kids who he could care less about and more to do with getting new guns to Iraq on time which both cost about the same thing.
