#3 Somehow I don't think the Donks will allow them to go south - for the children of course.

And the three languages should be English, English, and English.

#12 They wouldn't take them South when I lived in Arizona. They'd take them to the hospital for treatment.

Which they couldn't pay for. And the INS wouldn't come and get them, because if they did, the INS would be on the hook for their care.

So they'd just walk out the door and leave.

It was one of the many benefits they enjoyed being an illegal alien in the US - very, very free health care. Cost the hospital I was at many millions of dollars annually. But it's OK! They vote Democrat!

#13 Too bad our VA hospitals couldn't adopt a similar system for vets awaiting urgent care. But I suppose the majority of them, vote Repuglican.

#14 But I suppose the majority of them, vote Repuglican.
The last statistic I saw was 75% Republican to 25% Democrat, Besoeker. But I can't remember which election that was, my memory having become rather porous over the years.
