From a friend that knows this community they do earn money but they are the Nanny that you pay off the books to save on taxes. |
So you, as an American taxpayer, can provide welfare and education to all of the world's peasants? You do realize that we can't even fund what we spend now, right? |
Ah. So you don't actually oppose illegal immigration, you oppose immigration, period. Meanwhile, in Maryland, more people will get the health care they need. That's great news! |
Of course we can. We just choose not to, because people are overly attached to their 2nd mansions. |
| Nothin compares to undeserved privilege of being a citizen just because your parents were. Everyone should go to the back of the line at birth. |
sure, but what I stated is still true. Rs want to force women to give birth but not want to pay for it. |
Yes. If they are going to be born here, then the labor and delivery will be in hospitals anyway, because a woman in active labor cannot be turned away from emergency care (this is already federal law). A delivery where there is no prenatal care is an extraordinary role of the dice. These infants, if born here, are going to be US citizens after birth (that is also federal law). Bringing them into the world with significantly more poor outcomes is a greater stress on the system than providing adequate prenatal care. This does nto even have to be made on moral grounds -- an economic justification, purely about conserving resources, suffices. |
dp... in other civilized countries, if you need emergency healthcare, you can get it for free, or a nominal charge. Only the US charges stupid amounts of money for lifesaving healthcare. So, if you want to follow how other countries do things, then we need to also curb healthcare costs in this country, and provide free healthcare to its residents.. notice, I stated "residents" and not "citizens" because in those countries, "residents" also get free healthcare, not just citizens. |

Denying basic healthcare preventative care means more people showing up at hospitals where hospitals are obligated to provide more expensive, lifesaving care, unless you prefer hospitals deny care and allow people to die outside their doors?

In nearly 100% of civilized, first world countries, they're not insanely stupid either and don't have birthright citizenship that can be exploited. So this idea of paying the health care of mothers here illegally *because they'll have American citizens* is just a really asinine argument of you're going to use examples from other countries to support your argument. Birthright citizenship is incredibly stupid as well, although that's a topic for another discussion. |
It's the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. But yes, as a PP said, the OP's objection is not based on fiscal policy, it's based on the idea that people shouldn't ought to get stuff the OP thinks they don't deserve - even when it benefits everyone if people do get that stuff. |
Then don't overwhelm the country with illegal immigrants who will be a tremendous burden on our healthcare systems, duh. They already placeassive strain on hospitals in California, Arizona, and Texas. |
Stupid. That's the way it works in nearly every country in the world. Countries have a right to autonomy. |
To be sure, most affluent countries also didn't fight a civil war, which killed 2% of their population, over the legal right to enslave people. Which is where the 14th Amendment (ratified 1868) comes from. If you want to propose a constitutional amendment to get rid of the first sentence in the first section of the 14th Amendment, then you should get off DCUM and go get busy. In the mean time, the reality is that the babies are/will be US citizens, and all of us US citizens are better off when more of our fellow US citizens are born healthy. |
