Most if not all illegal immigrants do not pay for health insurance, but still get sick/injured and have other needs that require medical attention. They go to the hospitals for this treatment, and even if they have to wait in an emergency room for 10 hours they will get treated and dismissed. The hospitals cost for this treatment is not free, and not tax deductible. It is a cost that gets divied up and passed along to everyone that can pay for their healthcare through insurance. There are millions of illegal immigrants in this country that the average jo-shmo tax payer supports every year. I am not saying that we need to remove all of these people, because of the harm it will do to the economy, but something needs to be done about stopping the process because the cost are rising for us citizens. I don't know about you all, but my budget is already tight and spending more on taxes to pay for more illegals makes me choose between food and electricity sometimes.
