And those that come across now. every time the body on the other side of this Capitol talks about amnesty. more want to come. When they hear the President say we are going to create a new guest worker program with a glidepath to citizenship. more want to come because they know. And the sidewalk talk is correct. if we can get there and stay just a little while. we are going to get a blue card. a red card. a green card or something. and we are going to have our glidepath to citizenship. And we will have ridden around a system. And everybody that is playing by the rules and waiting in line. well. they are just foolish. We broke the law. we got away with it. and they are giving us amnesty. Illegal immigration has swamped our hospitals. It has jacked up health care costs for Americans not only in the southwestern United States but all across this land. We want to do something about health care costs. Shut off illegal immigration. and you will get a benefit. I have been to community health centers which have gotten significantly increased funding over the last 5 to 8 years. Community health centers serve those primarily who have little or no assets and who have little or no insurance. They dont question whether someone may not have the wherewithal or whether someone is in this country illegally or not. They see someone needs health care assistance. and they get it. A big impact on community health systems Is illegal immigration. A big impact on free clinics is illegal immigration. Social services. now. they say there are some rules against providing them for illegal aliens. But. again. the check system at the local level is not there. And there would be some if they did like Hazelton.
