Budget crunch cuts illegal immigrants' health care

She's not an undocumented immigrants. She IS an illegal alien border jumper. Millions of U.S. citizens must either find a way to pay for medical services or go without. There are millions of Americans who don't have enough to eat, live on what they make and wait for their next paycheck to come. My neighbor is on Medicare. She's had several strokes, is blind and diabetic. Interestingly she's been in and out of the hospital and care centers and sent home when her "coverage is maxed out." My tax money was never intended to pay for illegal alien border jumpers and their offspring, period! She can move herself home! They all seem to have a pity me party going on, now don't they?

Oh Boo Hoo, Let her return to mexico for her health care! And i am sick of reading that there are 12 million illegals in the US, ther are that many in California alone. If she wants to stay here and become a citizen then that would change my opinion. Right now I have to work longer and longer each day to pay for her.

"Asking county workers to act as immigration officials puts them in a difficult position..." sez the ACLU. I don't see a whole lot of difference between illegal aliens and nonresidents who cheat on residency requirements to obtain Santa Cruz bennies. I also don't see much difference between being an immigration cop and a residency cop. Local public servants are certainly willing to police residency requirements. No biggie to extend residency policing to immigration policing.

Thank God I was born here and not over there. No, I'm not an anchor baby. My ancestors were here before all that Ellis Island hoolabaloo.

What'd everyone expect, that free aid would last forever? That's the first thing that should go in this survivalist economic situation we're in right now.

We'll too bad for illegal aliens getting free stuff. Next should be food stamps.

thats the reason california is in the state that they are in. if someone comes in without a social then don't givie them service unless they come back with a social, whats so hard to do that! illegal is illegal no right to be getting social services.. thats why you'all have to start cleaning up and start deporting illegal aliens.

It isn't just California, these illegals are everywhere and I'm damn sick and tired of paying for their food, medical bills, babies, etc. Send them back where they belong. Americans are having a hard enough time making ends meet without having to carry the financial burden for them too. Connecticut is overstocked with illegal Brazilians and South Americans, time to deport them all and use that money we are spending on them to take care of our own people. Charity begins at home!

PLEASE, illegals, do the right thing and go back to your country.

Return to us *legally* and then you can work, pay taxes and receive healthcare.

Stop depending upon us to pay for you.

I thought that we didn't provide healthcare for illegals? Bunch of lying SOBs.

I have an ideal for her what to do. Move back to where you came from. Let your country of origin bury you.

As a small business owner myself, it's time to crack down on people that hire illegals and deprive American citizens out of jobs. I know they work on the cheap, but they shouldn't be hired by reputable businesses, and I know restaurants are famous for it. And they do get free medical care that we pay for. Go to a hospital emergency room and you'll see them in there with the sniffles. This scam needs to stop in this country and the sooner the better. These illegals are costing the taxpayers a fortune.

"I have no insurance, no resources, nothing to fall back on," said Barrios, who has one daughter. "I have no idea what I will do."

I guess like the rest of us you will have to pay for your own health care. Welcome to America.

I was born in Bridgeport, CT in the 1960's. I went to local schools and a local college and found local employment and paid for my own health care plan. The company closed down and I was unemployed for a few months until I secured a new job which does not have a health care plan. So I am currently without health care insurance because I have other priorities to pay for. Things like food, utilities, mortgage, gasoline etc. There are millions more citizens across the country just like me. So this "undocumented immigrant" and I love these soft words the AP uses these days, this woman who is in this country ILLEGALLY will have to do what I have been doing for a few years, go without. She came into this country for things for free, not to be free. I was born in this country and have never come across anything for free. I certainly wouldn't go to Mexico and expect free health care and food. I know that things are tough for her but since no one is going to feel sorry for me and provide for me I cannot feel sorry for her. California and many other states are deep in debt because of years of mismanagement and simply cannot pay for this free for some health care system anymore. Jobs are scarce and resources are nil so maybe she should go home. Maybe others in Mexico and other nations will realize this and stay home if all they want to do is cross our borders for free stuff without assuming any responsibilities, LEGAL or otherwise. People of all nations who want to become citizens of the United States are always welcome in this great country. But if this woman and her family never bothers to get LEGAL status and documentation, then she cannot expect to be provided subsidized health care and other services. I am not provided with free health care and I don't expect to ever be. It is not the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. The flood of ILLEGAL immigrants can be controlled by the following rule. Those that expect should not come and those that respect are always welcome. If people of other nations come to this country to get free room and board, food, education and health care they need to come to realize that the free lane is out of order. They would probably stay home. But those that want to live in this nation and take part in our society by becoming legal citizens and working and paying taxes which has been the tradition for hundreds of years are going to come and do just that without exception.

Here is an idea. Go somewhere else...

'President Obama PLEASE STOP THE MESS
IN OLD MEXICO.

It's amazing how long and ample this benefit train has been for illegal aliens that they assume they are entitled to it even if there is nothing left to give. Millions of legal Americans have no health insurance and many are ineligible for food stamps or other aid that is given without a 2nd thought to people who broke the law to binge on a social welfare system that wasn't designed to take care of 20% of another country's entire population. You heard me right at least 20% of Mexico's indigenous population is living in the United States illegally, 20 million people and possibly more. I think it's great that Sacramento county didn't cave to the illegal alien lobby and have told the Mexicans they are on their own. Hopefully they'll get the hint and leave

President PLEASE made E-Verify law. Millions of legal businesses are depending upon you! Shut the levy leaks on our southern border and freeze visas! We can't take any more fraud!

It's about time the free health care stops for illegals.Also if an illegal has a baby here they should not doccument that child as an American citizen.Both baby and mamma should go back to Mexico...

AMEN TO THAT

Ms. Barrios - take your husband and your daughter and go back to Mexico!

Awwww, the poor illegals can't get any more free medical services. Screw that, pay for your own dam medical needs or go without as are many Americans.

I like your idea, and take the rest of them with her while we are at it. This sense of entitlement like we are supposed to take care of them really makes me mad. Do you think we'd get free health care if we illeglly deposited ourselves in Mexico? Hell no, we'd probably be shot!
