[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...no matter what your immigration status might be.

I've been very busy this summer and just found out about this legislation that came into effect July 1st.

So if you illegally enter the United States, Maryland legislators think MD tax payers should pick up your medical bill. If you are a hard working, life long MD resident who lives on 45k/year - you are on your own. Got it.

Has there ever been an organization that has played local governments like a fiddle as CASA has before? I can't think of one in my 50+ years of living in DC/MD. [/quote]

This is a wonderful thing. A growing, healthy population is necessary for the entire metropolitan area to succeed. That child will be more likely to grow up to be a productive member of society with supports like these than if they were left to wither on the vine.

If you are a hard working, lifelong MD resident making 45k/year, you are not on your own. Taxpayers are already subsidizing their existence through the EITC, ACA exchange subsidies, and perhaps even programs like SNAP and WIC depending on household size.[/quote]
