Crist supports counting illegal immigrants in 2010 Census

I’d like anyone in Congress and state legislatures to note this (if they are reading, don’t know): since MOST CITIZENS are facing (and have faced for years now) ongoing reduction in “healthcare services” offered to us despite us paying for our health insurance ourselves — and Medicare is not providing much but minimal medical care for those enrolled in it, if one can even find a doctor today who’ll accept a Medicare patient — the fact that illegal aliens are receiving medical care on demand at E.R.s and via doctors and Medicaid, SOMEONE should be checking them for citizenship despite the social fallout of such.

Explain, if anyone can, how it is that Obama’s illegal alien Aunt Zietuni has lived in the U.S. FOR YEARS while receiving ongoing medical care AS SHE’S ENROLLED IN MEDICAID, public housing (rental assistance) and a job from a senior center in Boston EVEN THOUGH SHE’S AN ILLEGAL ALIEN, not to mention attorneys, food, likely as not ongoing remedial education/training…

That just makes no sense. Illegal aliens should not be (are not legally eligible for) state / taxpayer funded services, yet many of them ARE enrolled in these and other services (education, food, senior care, transportation).

…while citizens pay for these things for themselves and for the illegal aliens, AND, the citizens continue to lose care overall when/as needed (homeless vets, reduction in military housing and services, including reduction in health care services, for starters).

It’s just beyond reason that illegal aliens are not asked to substantiate who they are and where they’re from and excluded from services they are not legally eligible for, AND that citizens should be receiving what they’re using instead.

The Aunt Zietuni situation is a pitiful example of someone who is here illegally, has been twice issued a deportation order which she’s ignored, who has managed to travel at will all over the country, into the White House, to and from Africa — who in heck is looking at her Passport and what is she using to pay for all this and how is she doing all this on her alleged impoverished conditions — living in public housing while U.S. citizens in need are out in the street…

It’s just pitiful. It’s time the states demand enforcement of immigration laws or if not, that they start enforcing what laws they can themselves (no services for illegal aliens).

Whats next cheetoman ?
Voting rights for illegals?

macncheez on February 3, 2010 at 2:44 PM

That seems to be the plan. I read last November and December how it was that many commenters made mention of people who voted numerously times in different areas if not states, for Obama, of course. No one checked their multiple registrations or IDs.

And among them, I’m sure many illegals at least voting once (huh, imagine the outrageousness of that, they “only” voted “once”).

The Democrats’ plan is to include illegal alien votes because it amps up the union rolls/doles and of course, votes for Democrats.

Also a large part of why there’s this outcry about requiring a photo ID to vote: illegal aliens object…Democrats object…which pretty well sums up what it is they’re protecting and it isn’t the U.S.A.

I truly doubt that back in 1880 they were asking foreigners if they were there legally.

Back in 1880, the only thing they asked you when you got off the boat was whether or not you had any communicable diseases. The only thing required to enter the country legally was to pass quarantine.

Yeah, and Sweden has a somewhat functional Socialist system with “health care for all” included, riiight.

Sweden also has a tiny population in comparison with that of the U.S.A. Also the U.S. population today is far higher by many millions than it was in “1880″.

It’s a case of numbers. Too many people already, too many who want to get in and stay, too many who are here already and say they aren’t leaving who should not be and are not eligible.

Power hungry politicians who want to look good by bringing home the bacon…

Whatever ‘bacon’ they ‘bring home’ seems to be for the billions in costs that are used by illegal aliens and union members, more than anything, anyone else.

I don’t see any “bacon” brought home nor never have. Everything they’re siphoning off in D.C. is being dispersed in those ‘shovel ready’ jobs that pay off existing payrolls in states and create one, two jobs for 9 months, etc. and pay for educational costs and food costs that are doled out to illegal aliens, mostly, or liabilities created by them.

I once used a local paratransit service due to some injuries and noted there was a “daily” senior use of the shuttle service, filled with Spanish speaking seniors all of whom were here illegally — but staying with children in the U.S. and squeaking around the law that way, while using these expensive daily services. Oh, and they were shuttling back and forth to free-feeds daily at senior centers.

I learned while living in Hawaii to never sit too close or in closed quarters with one of the hackers.
