If you are illegal, you shouldn't get rights in the U.S. , If you are legal you be able to get things that other Americans do. Not for free.
@9F8FN827mos7MO
The US is already struggling financially. Holding the Federal Government financially responsible for non-American citizens would only further this struggle and make life harder for tax paying Americans.
@9FP227H 7mos7MO
I believe many immigrants struggle without the help of their health. Therefore, creating an Immigration Healthcare program won't just make them more comfortable to seek health but also create a federal tax on immigrants just like any other human.
@9FP3XM97mos7MO
The United States is not responsible to care for those who came here illegally as they are not part of the citizenry that the government was made to serve.
@9JJQZNS 3mos3MO
Illegal=a crime. It is a crime to come over the border ILLEGALLY. There is a process to come over legally, and although it may be a long process that's just how it is. They aren't entitled to coming to our country. They have no rights as an illegal immigrant and they shouldn't even be here let alone deserve health care. ILLEGAL immigrants should be deported.
@9FP4K7R7mos7MO
I definitely agree that Healthcare needs to be more accessible to immigrants but to be more specific I believe that there should be a single payer Healthcare system funded by the government, and that anyone who pays taxes (or anyone in an emergency situation) should be covered by it which would include immigrants.
@9FRKDWF7mos7MO
They are humans, they're people. Healthcare is a human right that should be given to everyone in any country in the world.
@9JJQZNS3mos3MO
Not when you're illegally in the country. There is a process that you have to go through to become a legal immigrant, and just because it may be long or hard doesn't really change the fact of illegal immigration being wrong. They aren't entitled to come here and if they do they need to be here legally.

When our country was in dire need of baby formula there were warehouses full of baby products specifically set for illegal immigrants. So, as our own future generations died without the ability to get help, unknown outsiders got helped. Instead of keeping ourselves strong and able to help, we gave our own meals up to others. We did not stand for the British to take our food right out of our hands, why should we allow that now?
Maybe the real question to ask is why was there a shortage on baby formula. If something is able to be profited off of, companies will do it. Plus, the British were an opposing group that had power over us, and immigrants do not have power over us--they are disadvantaged. You are angry at a group of people for taking $1 from you when you have $10 and not at the man who is hoarding $100000.
@9F9825SPeace and Freedom7mos7MO
The people who have immigrated here were not the ones who took the food from you. Get to the source of the shortage and solve that before you actually take food from other children's mouths.
@9F8WFTH7mos7MO
You can’t choose where you were born, and everyone should have a fair chance to live, immigration healthcare should only allowed if the the persons being treated agrees to repay in whatever form after a successful treatment.
@9F7Y4267mos7MO
If they pass this, the people who live in this country,who pay the taxes for this country, will be paying MUCH more money in taxes just for these people to have health care, why should we be paying for someone we don't even know?
@9FN25QH7mos7MO
Immigrants should have access to healthcare because they do much more then any others that were born here and who have many opportunities but choose not to excel. They take on the hard jobs and still continue to push more until they can't.
@9FLQ8KV7mos7MO
Illegal immigrants are illegal, we cannot give them healthcare because they are not citizens of the USA. The USA should only provide healthcare to its citizens.
@9FJBRVH7mos7MO
they should get equal healthcare because they are the backbone of are economy (doing jobs that white think they are to good to do)
@9FT2RYW7mos7MO
because they have more limited access to private coverage because they work in jobs that are less likely to provide health benefits.
@9FS9HZZ7mos7MO
My best counter argument to the NO position on Immigration Healthcare is that we should not pit Immigration and health care needs against one another.
@9FRZ7K57mos7MO
American soil is stolen land from those same immigrants whom we are denying healthcare. It should all be free and available to people in need.
@9FRRV7W7mos7MO
Many immigrants make little money due to working in places that gives them low wages, so they should get free healthcare for them.
@9FRN2847mos7MO
People that immigrant here only want a better life for themselves. If those people arne't any trouble to others or the government then they should be allowed to live with government support.
@9FRJ6NK7mos7MO
Immigrants are people and should be treated as such, the access to healthcare should be a human right.
@9FRFG4Q7mos7MO
everyone should have be equal the same, just cause there immigrants don't mean anything we all are the same. so yes there should be healthcare for immigrants.
@9FRDXXF7mos7MO
it the healthcare not cover all immigrants and some of immigrant can die of be sick and they don't have healthcare.
@9FR5WF57mos7MO
I think immigrants should receive the benefits of healthcare. If they're paying for it then what factors in for them not receiving it.
@9FR2CJD7mos7MO
If they are helping to pay for it, why shouldn't they receive the benefits of it? All that is accomplished by the current system is robbery.
