[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous] The whole straw man argument of "we must pay for them or they'll be a burden" is so tiresome. Their just being here leeching off the system is a burden to DC. Didn't DC just have to raise taxes because they couldn't balance the budget?[/quote] This program only applies to low income individuals. It's people who would be covered under Medicaid if they were legal. They most definitely will be a burden one way or another if they become ill. Moreover, since empathy appears to be quite beyond your capability, let's try self-interest. Do you really want the person cooking your food to be unable to afford a doctor's visit to treat his communicable disease? To you want to ride on the Metro next to someone who is sick, but unable to afford medical care? [/quote]
