 Immigration?

Well one issue NHS has is failed assylum people coming in for healthcare.

"A judicial review took place on 10/11 April 2008 regarding a failed asylum seeker receiving free hospital treatment. The resultant ruling in the High Court makes it possible for failed asylum seekers to be considered 'ordinarily resident' in the UK, and, consequently, entitled to free NHS hospital treatment."

Since we already have to treat illegal immigrants on the governments bill in the US.  Think what that would run.

Probably not the point he was making... but it is a good one.
