Illegal Immigrants and Our Tax Money

Neal Boortz, a syndicated talk show host based in Atlanta, noted today that 1/3 of the dialysis patients at the Grady Hospital clinic were illegal immigrants. It makes me wonder just how much of our tax dollars are being consumed by the illegals.

My personal observations at emergency rooms around metro Atlanta tell me that a large number of Hispanics are using those partly-taxpayer funded facilities for their primary health care. It is not difficult to draw the conclusion that our already overburdened health care system is being abused by people who should not even be in this country.

Much has been reported about the influx of Mexican gangs into this country, which places pressure on our tax-supported law enforcement system.

How many illegal immigrant children are in our schools and being fed with out food stamps?

The examples could go on and on. The point is, never mind the jobs that are being taken from Americans. The drain in tax revenue is more than we can afford.
