<I can see your point on welfare. Healthcare, however, should
be a human right worldwide. So I have to disagree on that point.>
If
healthcare could be provided by some magical infallible self-sustaining
machine that fixed people's medical issues, then I would agree. However,
one person's "right to healthcare" is another person's "obligation to provide
healthcare." People can opt to donate to help someone pay medical expenses,
or a doctor can donate their time to help those that can't afford healthcare.
But it's not right to take money from people that have worked for it to
give it to those that haven't, whether to pay for healthcare or anything
else.
<Illegal immigrants, especially those from South of
the border, are just here trying to make things better for their family.
They probably tried getting papers and were denied, so they did the only
other thing they could do.>
I disagree with providing welfare
or healthcare with tax dollars to anyone, not just illegal immigrants.
But the article that I wrote was in response to a news article written,
which in turn was a response to an initiative to cease paying these expenses
for illegal immigrants.
I have no quarrel with people moving
to America to try and make a better life for themselves and their families,
just so long as they do it by working for it and carrying their own weight,
not making me carry it for them.
