I was sitting at home reading the local Newspaper and there was this article about the state of the Hospital system that really concerned me as well as it should concern everybody not only in our age group but everyone who uses the system. I think if we don,t do something about the free ride that these immigrants are getting, there won,t be any hospitals left.
They say half the hospitals in New Jersey are closing and the rest are operating in the red. They are saying that the decrease in state aid and charitable donations are part the blame and that immigration is only part the problem but i don't think they are really looking at the whole picture.
I know for me and most hard working Americans have paid for every Doctor, Prescription and Hospital visit or stay out of our own pockets. Plus every hour i and everybody else who works pay state and federal taxes on every pennies we earn.
But then you have all these immigrants every Friday at the local covieniece store that offer Western Union or services that ship money across the border handing over hundreds of dollars to be sent out with not being taxed at all. Yet they can go to the hospitals for free, they get food stamps and housing assistance. Now try and get that if you are American who worked hard and now with the way the economy is are down on your luck, they tell you that you made to much money.
I was raised well and taught to respect people no matter what their country of origin was but you have to draw the line somewhere. Imagine what this would do to the state budget if they collected all the taxes revenue from this money being shipped out, plus the federal government would benefit also. And how much better the hospital systems would be if they paid their bills?
How about offering some of that housing assistance for some of us needy Americans? Some food stamps? I know everyone couldn't receive them but at least the food banks wouldn't be deleted and have some food left.
Part of the problem are these employers paying them cash and getting away with it. The state and federal government have to start some agencies that check these employers weekly to make sure these workers are paying taxes and if they are illegal get rid of them. These employers should be ashamed that they are a big part of the mess our economy is in and should be fined heavily.
Truthfully i think we should follow Arizona and make it illegal to employee immigrants which would solve alot of our problems because looking down the road on things that i should get when i reach the age of retirement if this problem is not straightened out they might not be available anymore.
