California Counties Cut Healthcare to Illegal Immigrants

Subsidizing the underclass, be it legals or illegals is like a pyramid scheme for failure. Subsidizing will only increase their numbers which will only require more subsidy. This cycle will continue until the taxpayer can’t afford to subsidize the underclass any longer and the system collapses. Good intentions can have disastrous results in the long run sometimes.

Sitting here in Sanctuary City Chicago this is not good news. A tidal wave of illegals will be decending on us in the very near future. Like we need more.

It is unfortunate that we can’t make health care a human right, but we can’t. With millions of Americans without health care, we need to focus on them and not illegal aliens. Compassion has nothing to do with it. The presence of illegal aliens is at the expense of citizens and any pleas for sympathy for a sick illegal alien serve to deprive those citizens of help they might get instead. Why this has been allowed to go on for so long is impossible to understand.

I cannot fathom why illegal aliens who given emergency medical treatment, which is alright if it is needed to save their lives, are not immediately afterward photographed, billed, and then deported, and not legally permitted into this country until they have paid the bill entirely.

“… illegal immigrants are living here but without federal or state funding to provide essential medical services to them.”

If illegals are living here without federal or state funding to provide essential medical services, how can these medical services be cut? They’re not getting them, right? Am I missing something?

“In Contra Costa County, which will continue treating undocumented children and pregnant women, community groups mobilized against the proposal.”

Are there any illegals who aren’t pregnant?

I am glad to hear this — it is certainly about time. What I would like to see is the emergency rooms cut off the non-emergency treatment. I know by federal dictate they have to treat them for life threatening emergencies however they should be promptly shown the door if it is not an emergency. Illegals always have money to send back to their home country but never any to pay their medical bills.

The next step will be for emergency rooms to screen out the non-emergencies.

I feel very sorry for the white people of USA and Western Europe that are becoming minorities in their own countries. Invasion of third worlders is totally disgusting and unnatural for me.
Sincerely I can understand that corporations and other companies hire CONTRACTORS that work TEMPORARILY in USA/EU, but why are the governments letting the asylum seekers in? Why do they reveive citizenships, right to vote, free housing, medical care? I mean people who often can’t read, write, have HIV/AIDS, other illnesses, are aggressive and hostile, commit crimes. Why are these people allowed to pollute the 1st world?

who argue that restrictions could also cause a chilling effect on legal residents and U.S. citizens in mixed-status families.

Simple solution here, send the whole bunch to mexico or wherever they are from.

“John Schunhoff, Los Angeles County’s interim health services department director, said there is no plan to eliminate health services to the county’s illegal residents, despite significant projected deficits and concern about further cuts in state funding.”

How noble of John!

Just get back to us in less than a year’s time after the “funneling” effect has taken hold of your county due to the more sensible county health directors throughout California having followed suit to cut services to illegal aliens.

As a Bay Area native, I have been screaming about this for years. Now the California politicians can kick them out of the school system. Maybe there is hope.

Nothing says California 2009 like Reshma Shamasunder. Considering how I am from this state it both sickens and saddens me to see the beautiful state I grew up in dominated by alien marxists like this.

“Forced to slash their budgets, some California counties are eliminating nonemergency health services for illegal immigrants—a move that officials acknowledge could backfire by shifting the financial burden to emergency rooms.”

Contra Costa County is also refusing to prosecute some drug crimes, several misdeanors, and even a few felonies, because they no longer have the manpower to handle the work load.

They’ve had to lay off several people, because of a serious shortfall in revenue.

We’re going to see this occur throughout many different counties across the country, just as many people predicted, which is a giant step toward third world status.

Couple this occurence with releasing inmates in prisons to cut costs, and California could be heading for some very high crime figures.

“Marina Espinoza, also an illegal immigrant in Contra Costa County, … is considering returning to Mexico, where a relative has a lead on a job with health insurance.”

PLEASE DO!

Is there a place I can chip in for a plane ticket?

Let the Hispanic community found hospitals to take care of their own, as the did the Irish Catholics, the Presbyterians, and the Jews. Oh, I forgot. That pesky amoral familism, not to mention the fact that Hispanics send any money they have left out of the country. When it comes to Hispanics and charity, always a recipient, never a benefactor be.

You know, the illegals told us they would bring this economy to it’s knees if we didn’t accomodate their demands for amnesty….now the chickens have come home to roost.

We had better give them health care and amnesty before it’s too late!!!!!!!!!

I am skeptical of policies like these making a significant difference in the long term. There is simply no incentive for the aliens to leave. Even the most poverty-stricken American city has a far higher standard of living than much of Mexico or Central America.

I hate to say it, but the only way anything will be done about immigration is for the economy to decline further. Prosperity promotes insouciance. People need to get scared. Terrified even. If whites knew what they were in store for over the next few decades, they’d undock their keisters, flip off the TV, and get over to their congressmen’s office, pronto. Things would get done. But the politicians know that most whites would rather worry about “Dancing with the Stars”, while hispanics would take to the streets in a heartbeat, and take their votes to whichever candidate supports their side. It’s politics as usual, sadly. I have a feeling whites will wake up at the conclusion of the Obama presidency to a whole new America.

Of course they aren’t going to cut back services in LA for illegal aliens…….there are so many of them, there would be massive demonstrations, if not rioting, so better to keep paying for them than risk the consequences.

Since the federal government keeps statistics on just about everything, too bad they don’t keep track of all the medical bills the illegals rack up at taxpayer expense. They ought to add it all up and send Mexico the bill for taking care of their illegal immigrant freeloaders.

Are there any illegals who aren’t pregnant?

The MEN!!!!! Hahahahahaaa I crack myself up sometimes..:)

Illegal immigrants (‘asylum-seekers’) entering Australia by boat from Indonesia, after passing through several Muslim countries where they could have claimed asylum, have instant access to Newstart, the adult migrant English program, youth allowances, the age pension, family tax benefit, and childcare benefits. Not to mention medical care, travel rights and the opportunity to sponsor their families through the Offshore Humanitarian Program.

Meanwhile, disadvantaged Australians and aged pensioners can wait for 7-10 years for subsidised housing, and are often placed on a waiting list for surgery and dental care.

The present idiot government abolished TPVs (Temporary Protection Visas) last august, resulting in a flood of illegals in leaky boats.

A win for the shrill ‘asylum-seeker’ industry at the expense of all Australians. Illegals detained on Christmas Island are eating better than the locals - thanks to Australian taxpayers.

The US isn’t the only country where asylum shoppers are treated better than citizens.

The upside to a downturn: sometimes you’re forced to throw stupid out the window, and start behaving for the better. At least after you’ve tried everything else…

Lets the moochers die. They need to repay about 500 billion in back bills they owe too plus they owe DC at least 3 times that amount not counting the way they took advantage of the system to come across the border to have their babies and become US citizens in direct bastardization of the James Madison written US Constitution.

Hello everyone,just a quick comment here.Maybe Mexifornians oops!,I mean Californians are finally waking up (I hope).To me this falls into the “DUH” category.It’s so simple it’s stupid.I’ll say it slowly so the libtards can understand!..STOP..GIVING..AID..TO..ILLEGAL..ALIENS!!! Teach your children well.

During times of drastic economic downturns, coupled with burdensome times, conservative opinions and attitudes reappear as dominant. Religion becomes more prevalent in family life. Family values, as opposed to individualism, reemerge as the best insurance policy to help defeat poverty and stagnation. Tightening the belt, not only occurs in the home, but in government social programs as well. Public coffers shrink and those deemed too “liberal” will feel the ax first. Pet projects of the rich and famous, such as gay marriage and appeals to overseas welfare/food programs, take a back seat to the more obvious plight of the majority of Americans. Mia Farrow’s current hunger strike to bring attention to starvation in Darfur, will not get the attention it may have a few years ago. And if things get worse, many will simply say go ahead and starve yourself Mia, who cares, more food for us. Granted, we are not there yet. And in some respects I’m not so sure I want us to get to depression era status among the social enclaves, but if we do, one can be assured that a proportionate effect will be a return toward conservative viewpoints, not the least of which would be an America first attitude among its citizens.

Health care is a right, not a privilege. If the American public took this truth seriously, they might think twice about extending that much effort to non-Americans and kick them out.

Clueless California continues as a slow-motion self-inducing train wreck. This week’s fiscal fiasco is only another symptom of what became perfectly predictable after democrat inmates wrested permanent control of the illegal alien sanctuary asylum’s legislature.

Stay tuned for next week’s governmental collapse hijinks, disaster afficionados.

“During times of drastic economic downturns, coupled with burdensome times, conservative opinions and attitudes reappear as dominant. Religion becomes more prevalent in family life.

Just like what happened almost 100 years ago, Brad. Everyone was having a great time during the Roaring Twenties, but then look what happened during the Depression. Party’s over.

Since the federal government keeps statistics on just about everything, too bad they don’t keep track of all the medical bills the illegals rack up at taxpayer expense

“they” do!! we taxpaying slaves simply are not allowed to know such things. What ever the government want us to know, will be conveyed via the burning bush.

“Forced to slash their budgets, some California counties are eliminating nonemergency health services for illegal immigrants

This move won’t bother the illegal border jumpers in the least. Those of us that are familiar with their practices KNOW that they NEVER go to a doctor, no matter what, they go to the ER and usually the entire family is in tow. Since the entire family is there, why not complain about everything and get free drugs!!

“…others are foreign natives who came to the county to receive free medical treatment….”

This statement just frosts me.

According to Dan Stein of FAIR, in California:

“…the costs of illegal immigration have grown geometrically, while the state has spiraled into a fiscal crisis that has brought it near bankrupt… the average native-born family in California gets handed a nearly $1,200 a year bill.. $1.4 billion of the taxpayers’ money goes toward providing health care to illegal aliens and their families…”

In the schools, I have seen many illegal families bring their sick or disabled child (or children) to the US specifically to take advantage of free healthcare and other services that are not available in their home countries.

The disabled child is instantly eligible for life-long free medical care costing US taxpayers billions of dollars. The costs of their schooling is approximately double that of regular children because of the special services the state mandates they receive—small classes, adapted buses, aides, nurses—until they are 22 years old.
Special education costs are breaking the backs of many school districts.

Also, translation services must be provided in the schools, courts and hospitals and many of the newest immigrants are 4 ft. 10 in. indians that do not speak English or Spanish. Often translations must be made from English to Spanish to Mixtec or Nauhtl.

As the legislature raises taxes yet again on California’s producers, and imposes ever more punitive regulations and oversights on businesses, California’s taxpayers will continue to flee, the downward spiral will continue and the quality of life in the Golden State will deteriorate further.

Bon out of Taxifornia

Glendale, California, has especially good programs for Special Ed. The kids are almost all immigrants, and most of them live in apartments. That means that the Whites who own the houses and pay most of the taxes are providing very expensive day care for foreign retarded and disturbed children who moved there just to get into the local system. The situation of the kids is sad, and I don’t blame the parents for taking advantage, but why is it the responsibility of Whites to take care of Korea’s and Armenia’s and the Phillipines’ damaged children?

I’ll keep posting these things.

Whites need to be aware that affirmative action is coming to health care. The medical and nursing schools and medical establishment is brainwashing young physicians to favor non whites just as the law school profs brainwashed young law students now Judges to favor non whites 2 generations ago.

Here it is, the latest anti white medical program.

THE CENTER FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS RESEARCH

The CVRP is presenting seminars “Voices of Vlunerable Populations in Health Disparities Research”

Speakers will yammer on and on about how illegal hispanics don’t get enough health care. I haven’t yet heard Tim Wise’s term White Privilege yet, but that’s what they mean.

Whites have some sort of demonic, satanic power that keeps us healthy, just as our poor white children on welfare have satanic, demonic powers that enable them to stay our of Juvenile prisons and complete high school easily.

It’s very strange. The hospitals are always complaining that medi-caid and other government programs pay only 10 percent of the actual cost of care.

Yet the health care industry wants more and more health care for illegal hispanics who pay either nothing or have some sort of government plan like medi-caid that pays only 10 percent months after the treatment.

One of the workshops will be “obesity prevalance in latino chiildren.” It is true. Latino children are total butterballs compared to any other ethnic group.

Why? Let’s see, WIC coupons as soon as the pregnancy test is positive. WIC coupons and food stamps until age 5. Food stamps at home and free school breakfast, lunch and after school snack until high school graduation. During the summer hispanic kids get free breakfast, lunch and snacks in the parks and playgrounds.

I’d probably be obese too if I had a life time of free food behind me.

As more and more Asian physicians steal jobs and med school places from white men, expect more and more of this.

The white female physicians and nurses, especially the older nurses who run the nursing associations are in the forefront of the affirmative action for non whites in health care movement.

“In the schools, I have seen many illegal families bring their sick or disabled child (or children) to the US specifically to take advantage of free healthcare and other services that are not available in their home countries. The disabled child is instantly eligible for life-long free medical care costing US taxpayers billions of dollars.”

They also get $770.00 per month in SSI disability benefits per child. They get these benefits until they die. Low IQ is considered a disability and cause for life long benefits.

“Health care is a right, not a privilege.”
Wrong, Anonymous at 11:08 AM. Health care is neither, it is a service, you buy it or you don’t. There is no more right to health care than there is to food, clothing or shelter. If you want a doctor’s service, pay for it, don’t tell him to work for free or tell me to pay him. Rather that a right, government health care is a claim on someone else’s labor, that is, theft. No wonder BHO agrees with you.

Schoolteacher at 8:21 May 3, how about, “health care is a right for illegal aliens but a priviledge for Americans.”

I mean, many people would argue that all Western Nations aside from the U.S., most of whom are a combination of socialism and capitalism, give their population free health care. But in the U.S.,only illegal aliens recieve free superb health care. Why begrudge hardworking,taxpaying Americans the same thing? You see,I used to look at it your way, but since the illegal alien invasion, I’m seeing and therefore, thinking with “new eyes” on a number of issues. Frankly, I’m surprised Americans without health care haven’t been screaming at the top of their lungs on this issue. The illegals and their enablers sure have. The squeeky wheel..,etc.

This is America, not Europe. Our Constitution is rooted in the idea that government is not to be trusted, that it is a necessary evil. Honestly, is there a single Senator you trust? Why then would you give control of your health care to an entity that wishes to destroy us and our civilization?
The European welfare state is the brainchild of Otto von Bismark. Its governing principle is that the State must take good care of its subjects. Of course, in Europe too, the State has become the enemy of its people.
When a government is the sole supplier of a product or service, they will give you as much as they see fit, and charge you, through taxes, as much as they see fit. If you do not pay, you will be arrested for tax evasion. Would you trust a privately owned corporation with that power? Then why trust the likes of Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer, Charles Schumer, or John McCain?
Do you think that any program of socialized medicine would somehow exclude any foreigner at all? As it stands, in some states at least, illegals are only allowed emergency care. Free health care for all means free viagra, free group therapy, free breast enlargement, for every slug that manages to slip under the wire. Do not doubt for an instant that every quackery imaginable has got its lobbyists hard at work to ensure that they’ll be covered by any federal legislation, and to block any restrictions on foreigners. Honest White Americans will be lucky to get 25 cents in benefits for every dollar they put in. All welfare programs are largely giveaways to non-Whites and the leftist Whites who run the programs.
