How does adding tens of millions of MORE deadbeats like that.. make healthcare costs less for average Americans?

How the heck is that possible?

It makes no sense on its face.
There are a lot of illegal aliens for sure and that is a problem that needs to be dealt with, but there are a ton of US citizens that don't have health insurance and go to the ER or urgent care centers to get treated then don't pay the bill. If those US citizens had health insurnace it would be that many fewer non-payers in the system which could help the cost go down.

But in a sense you are correct, until there is something done about all the illegals living here and using the system we will continue to have a problem with non-payers.
