illegals arent the problem, if those were all legal residents who couldnt pay then the problem wouldnt exist ? the problem would still exist , thus its the funding the hospital gets in not adequate for the amount of people they treat..
when i say illegals pay taxes what i mean is that the money is still coming back into the system , they buy gas , its taxed, they buy goods and services just like the rest of americans. all taxed.. theres 2 ways illegals pay employment tax as well. many people actually dont realise that alot of illegals work under a fake ss number , meaning they are taxed just like the rest of us , only they dont get the taxes back at the end of the year , so they are paying more tax than the rest of us. the rest of them are working "under the table" and the boss man is usually a legal american who pays extra taxes on the extra money he makes by using under the table workers.
I'm not saying it always works out but its not like the money vanishes..
example
Farmer joe has 20 legal employees making 10k per year each picking fruit.
Farmer joe fires 10 legal employees hires 10 illegals to replace them. at 5k each
Now theres only 10 employees paying taxes. but farmer joe is making an extra 50k in profit from the saved labour costs and he pays taxes on the 50k. the gov is still getting their income tax..
