Have Cancer in Texas? Sorry, No Medical Help Due to Illegals
Posted By admin
Illegal immigrants help our economy right? After all, that’s what some of the visitors to this website have been telling us lately. Here is yet another story detailing the incredible burden that illegal immigrants place on just one facet of our economy - the health care industry.
According to the The Dallas Morning News, the state-funded University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston may have to end some potentially life-saving services such as cancer treatment. Yes, you read that right - cancer treatment. Due to the huge demand of illegal immigrants on the hospital, the university hospital is in a serious financial situation. Other nearby state and county funded hospitals are in the same position.
Texas paid $47 million last year for illegal immigrants’ hospital care, which was only a fraction of the total expenses. The residents of Texas ended up paying the rest of the bill.
Doctors have tried to stop non-emergency care for illegal immigrants, but wacko pro-immigration advocacy groups have threatened to have illegals sent directly to emergency rooms where they have to be treated based on current federal law.
Here are some interesting facts:
•72 percent of Dallas’ immigrants are from Mexico. The national average is 28 percent.
•82 percent of births at Parkland Hospital are Hispanic, and 40 percent of their parents are illegal immigrants.
•Unreimbursed state Medicaid expenditures for illegal immigrants in 2000: $18.1 million; in 2005: $38.7 million. That’s an increase of 114.3 percent.

It would be a tradgedy if a legal American with cancer died from lack of care due to the illegal immigration burden on our health care system.

Not surprising at all. When Congress and Bush committed Treason, giving OUR social security Trust to criminal trespassers, I knew we the people were working to keep criminals in our country and in office.
What I don’t understand is where are the white supremacist idiots that attack Jews, blacks and anyone else not Caucasian?! When we’re being invaded, when the Mexican army crosses our border to give armed cover to drug cartel trash that kill us with impunity, abduct citizens, etc… Where are they!? Why doesn’t our militias across the United States activate and provide armed National defense for our Southern border?! Our government wont do it because we have a selected official that didn’t have the guts to serve in a war himself playing soldier with our peoples lives in Iraq, while letting armed insurgents invade right here at home! Arm up and shoot to kill! When our Government doesn’t protect this country it’s a citizens right to make up for that impotence and defend this country!
Did we lose our courage when Waco was broadcast 24/7?! Implicitly communicating to every American watching one message. We’re the government and when we tell you to do something, do it or die!
Did that merit our complacence against illegal scum that enter this country and then DEMAND RIGHTS!? Are we afraid to protect ourselves because we depend on others to save us?!
WAKE UP AMERICA! We’re being betrayed by elected Traitor officials, invaded by immigrants demanding equal rights as illegal occupiers and we’re doing nothing to stop it!
Wanted to share my own experience.
I am a single mother (taxpaying American Citizen) with a disabled child. I cannot get him on disability because I make $300 a month too much, although I spent over $6000 last year on his insurance. After CHIP changed it’s requirements, I had to choose between housing and healthcare. I choose housing, moving into a TAX CREDIT APARTMENT complex. I soon learned that these Tax Credit properties, which get tax breaks for providing affordable housing, are a haven for Illegal immigrants!!!! Research it and you’ll be furious!!!!
