just as easy as having proof of insurance |
No it's not. We need ID if you want good enforcement. All of us. What's the problem with that? |
It would be if the states would make a secure ID. Guess which state, among many, refused? AZ. |
Heart attack would entail a long hospital stay. Plenty of time to check legal residency. Maybe relatives can post bail to release illegal from detention to pay medical bills. |
Social security number would b fine. With a federal database check. |
The detention area should be kept up to Mexican safety and hygeine standards so that it is UN approved. |
A social security number is not identification. It is a number. You can get one anywhere. How are you supposed to know whether the person is the real individual issued the SSN? The numbers are issued at birth. There are no photos, no fingerprints, nothing. So you run the database check and it comes back that yes, there is a Jose Cancion who is about 40 years old. What do you do now? |
you use the IRS meathod. You don't have to catch all illegals, you just have to make life miserable for a decent portion of them so that they are afraid to go to the hospital and begin to think about returning home. |
no insurance means a detailed investigation of citizenship right off the bat. |
If you make it miserable for a decent portion of hispanic legal immigrants, and some of them end up not getting treated, your whole plan blows up. Americans don't like negligence. |
They can get all the treatment they want, it's their choice. They may just have to be detained, fined and deported after treatment. If they choose to continue illegal activity instead of treatment thats their problem. And they can always go home to their own country and get treatment. |
Some people die from the stress the IRS puts on them. I don't see Americans blowing up the IRS's plans. |
Not the same as refusing medical treatment because of a clerical error. |
Compelling rebuttal. Well done. |
I'm not worried about the illegals. I'm worried about a guy who can't get seen in the ER because of the backlog of people who can't be discharged until their citizenship check is done. They would have to do it on everyone. Or would they be allowed to skip it if the people look American enough? It would be a heck of a lot easier if we would just issue a reliable ID card. Why we refuse to do it is beyond me. Apparently some Republicans think your actions will be tracked with it. To me, who cares? Every time you pull out a credit card, your actions are tracked. Every time you turn on a cell phone, your location is recorded. That EZ Pass allows you to be tracked anywhere they choose to read it, grocery store card, the Smartrip card. They all track where you are and what you do. So I hardly care if some database knows I opened a bank account or got my ID checked at a bar or went to the ER (which as we all know goes into about ten different databases). |
