Problem with illegal immigration:

1. legal aliens: There are those that tries for years to come to this country and this downplays the situation. There is a reason for the law, how flexible should the law become that illegal get the same benefits?

2. taxpayer: First of all illegal immigrants, do not pay for the taxes. One can argue their income isn't great but I believe that there are many taxpayers/ and low income that we aren't even able to help yet.

3. health: Because illegals are unaccountable, we won't really know the impact it will have on the health system... as in cost.

4. economy: illegals come because of the good economy, when the economy goes bad... what's the incentive to stay?

5. Family: the illegal parent's kids (if born in US) WILL be US citizen, enough said.

Yes, I know I've generalized and I do know some illegal immigrants face "unfair" situations in life but that is because you are here illegally and hence it is hard to defend yourself. If the universal health care system allows illegal immigrants, we might as well call them legal immigrants.

theres more but i'm too sleepy, but one thing that concerns me is how it will impact the health-care framework because I work in the medical field. Though a part of me believes when it comes to health, everyone should be treated equally because we share our communities and it's in the best interest for the greater good for every citizen. But the reality is the cost and our taxpayer's money is 'suppose'........ I'll stop. ZzZ If I don't make sense, I apologize.
