Jean in Kingwood. Texas. writes. "I felt compelled to write today after days of hearing about the Mexican protests and the Mexican flag waving going on in our country. First. let me say for a very long time I felt immigration has been out of control but that the politiclans In America consider it a way to gain votes and will not touch the issue. I am outraged that we are in such a state as we are now. "Recently. I had to take a job in order to supply health insurance for my family because my husband lost his job. Then it wasnt long after that that I had to go to the emergency room. I went to the emergency room at 4:45 p.m. and didnt leave until 5:01 a.m. the next day. I cannot tell you the number of immigrants with three or more children in that waiting room. I wondered if any of them actually had health care insurance. and how much free health insurance they received on their visit. Here I am working so I can supply health insurance to my family. yet the illegals and those that have no health insurance walk in and obtain free health care. "Everyone in America knows the stats on this and the stress being placed on our system because of those that are able to obtain free health care just by walking into the emergency room..
