The problem comes when they bring their entire family over here, stand in line at the public health department, receive their immunizations or free healthcare, then everyone in the family drives back across the border (they only need to sneek in, not out) and the father stays to work illegally. This is often the case. They came for the free services and then return home. Many families stay for the free services and some towns in North Carolina are now 75% hispanic. A huge debate has been brewing in North Carolina because it was publicized that the state wanted to provide college for free to illegal immigrants. Well, that has never been done and no legal immigrants receive it nor do citizens. It became such a huge debate that supposedly it stopped, but low and behold, some colleges are doing it anyway and it is not publicized. I have explained the problem with the hospitals numerous times so I won't repeat that discussion except to add that my ex-husband used to run the IT department in a major hospitial here, my sister in law was the head ER nurse, and I also have a relative who was a doctor on staff so I know what I am talking about. I didn't dream this up. The problem comes from the hospital administration and large corporations who hire the illegal immigrants - political pressure. Those complaining the most are the LEGAL IMMIGRANTS who come to this country. They are treated like citizens and pay taxes and must watch the illegals receive everything for free.

I will never stand in their shoes because I will always work for a living as long as I am physically able to and will provide for my daughter. I pay taxes and pay for medical care. I think Mexicans should be trying to change things inside their country instead of coming here. If those that have come to this country illegally were to push for change in their country something might actually happen. That would be 10 million Mexicans pushing for change. I have been to Mexico numerous times and let me tell you, I wouldn't get anything for free and I'd be lucky if I didn't end up in a Mexican prison. Unless I could afford to pay off the local police that is. Perhaps since the attitude is so different in the Netherlands they will accept me and I can live there for free? I would love to do that! Just let me know when.
