That is exactly right. Paying for the illegal alien walking thru the ER room with 2 kids in tow. By Federal law they can’t turn them away. The Affordable Care Act is the reason you need to pay that 10 grand a year to the Feds. Someone has to pay for mom & child, why not you?
Like I posted earlier, my neighbor decided to pay the 1800 dollars to the feds. She has worked in the medical insurance field for the last 30 years & still chose to pay the fine. So much cheaper & her out of pocket expense for medical that year was less than 800.00. With a math answer like that I would have paid the fine also. Do you pay your mortgage? Or pay for mom & her two kids in the ER?
Ah...........But the illegal alien is here because big business,........in defiance of the E-VERIFY act,..........wants people to work for less than minimum wage,...... with no benefits,.......... so the could make a billion-and-a-half, instead of just a billion. So,........As far as big business is concerned, it's up to us taxpayers to pay for their overhead so they don't have to provide benefits.........( or a living wage,....).
Hey,......... we're truckdrivers....... we get the back door tour to hundreds of businesses in a year........How many meat-packing plants, nurseries, plastics plants, furniture factories, do we go to where everyone there is an illegal alien?..... not to mention landscapers, pool servicers, and roofers?
All those flip home shows,........ where they're buying for $400,000 and selling for $600,000, after $20,000 worth of renovations,........Look real closely at the crew doing the work,....... quickly, because they never show them on TV for very long,.......... and tell me if you think they are here legally,......... or did the contractor go up to the parking lot of Home Depot, and pick up his temporary crew? Standard procedure across the country for most contractors nowadays......
Most of these jobs used to be good family-sustaining jobs........... So,..........Who would be the culprit here? The Employer now making a billion-and-a-half, instead of merely a billion?...….....Or the illegal alien trying to feed his family on a fourth of what they would have to pay to an American,......... who feels lucky to get that fourth?
If everyone remembers correctly, President Obama did say, about two years ago,........That if businesses really, really needed these illegal immigrants to make a profit,........ Let's make them legal, and subject them to American wage and benefit laws, and start taxing them for Social Security.
Immediately, the Chamber of Commerce, and every other pro-business group,......, along with the usual suspects on conservative talk shows,........... started screaming about alien amnesty........ proving that businesses feel that you can have your cake and eat it, too............ provided you don't have to pay for it............
