  1. Well said, I am considering moving to Easter Europe. I will have to learn one of many difficult languages and there will be no signs in English, none. And that's the way it should be.

  2. Because it would become an even larger abyss. More folks would find there way here for care and Mexico would become even more of a mess.

    These other countries with excellent health care don't have robust economies either. We spend on roads, and cities, schools in ways that they'd never imagine. Our city infrastructures get massive government allocations. We even have senators getting $250,000,000 bridge building funds so that fifty families can live on islands. Explain to that senator that his bridge needs to go so we can provide illegal immigrants health care and see how far you'd get.

    Ted Kennedy give up a program for his districts for Mexican relief? Not in this lifetime. Every one of them (politicians) just want to add more programs and somehow the taxpayers get soaked and hosed.

    The answer IS easy, it's implementing the solution that gets all the flack. The first nasty little fact must take hold though. We can't, and shouldn't, cover for every one else's bad behavior. :)
