There is no responsiblity to provide care to illegal immigrants. Doesn’t “illegal” say it all. If they want to apply for citizenship, then I can see it. If you are working your way toward citizenship, during a reasonable time, sure . . it makes sense that you would cover those individuals. My concern is that some just want a free ride and with resources stretched to the max to provide care why should we be supporting those who have no interest in being citizens? Immigrants, immigrant applicants . . yes, illegal immigrants . . no!

Do you think that illegal immigrants deserves that treatment? I mean, to get benefits what other got. Do you think the government have responsibility to them even they are just an illegal immigrants?

Oh, and I would just like to add. How about those poor citizens that are suffering from hunger and homelessness? Why not use the money for free health care for illegal immigrants to give a damn about them?

Hi there! You know what. I’ve just read Nakchura’s answers and yours. You also do made an interesting point out there. Come to think of it the more the people, the larger the potential for a country to become. But does it mean to say that we should really give illegal immigrants the privilege to be given free health care by the government? NO!

Interesting. Nakchura’s point was well said that even I had to react. In my point of view, it does seem unfair for the government give free health care for illegal immigrants but hey, is it wrong? Like what Nachura said it isn’t. Besides, take it like this. If the government would help these illegal immigrants, will it have something in return? Yes. What? More people. People who would then be American and will work and live for it. And yes, good point by saying that immigrants made America.

I agree with you on that..illegal aliens on the country should be addressed first and of course give what is due to the American citizen..that is providing a good health care program.

I agree about the difference between legal and illegal immigrants. I’m surprised that the US is at this point in considering that extent of health care. I’m still getting the facts on it, but I wouldn’t have expected that.

That would be even more incentive to try to get into the country by any means, wouldn’t it?

I don’t have a problem with immigrants, and I agree that our country has always supported them. There is, however, a significant difference between legal and illegal immigrants. All of those immigrants that Nakchura is talking about from Ireland, Italy, German, etc., etc. were legal. If you don’t draw a line between legal and illegal immigrants then you are basically inviting every person who can cross the border to come here for free coverage. Sorry, but that’s not something that I want to support. If there were some other Country in the world who would cover its illegal immigrants, I would like to know who that is so that I can take advantage of them. Are Americans supposed to be the only people who are so generous that they would bankrupt themselves to pay for the care of their illegal visitors?

I am in agreement with millionaireman. This is the correct middle path fair to all.

I think nakchura raises an interesting point about immigrants. I’ve not studied immigration in the US through the previous century, but I have heard anecdotes of people arriving in America without complete documentation – And I think of these people as having become true Americans. That’s not to suggest that those anecdotes are a parallel to all accounts of what’s happening today… Just an interesting point, I think.
