Lots of Luck, Dallas
Sick of being forced to provide free health care to illegal aliens at local taxpayers' expense, Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas is planning to bill Mexico for medical bills run up by its penniless citizens. Last year, Dallas County lost $27 million treating people from outside the area whose bills were not paid. An estimated 90% of foreign freeloaders are from Mexico. Said County Judge Margaret Keliher:
If you're not Dallas County residents, we think where you are from should pay for your indigent health care.
According to the Washington Times, Mexican consul official Hugo Juarez was "visibly perturbed" by the idea.
"How do they know who is Mexican?" cried Juarez. "Nobody asks for your nationality nor immigration status when you go to the hospital."
If they don't, they sure should — though no one expects Mexico to pay the bills anyway.
A solution to this growing problem would be to start defending the border against foreign invasion. But of course, that would be racist.

This is no joke. I worked in a Colorado hospital briefly where they welcomed illegals as they popped out babies at 2 times the rate of any caucasian or black women. Hell, the staff even ensured that a chicken egg was placed beneath the "birthing" bed while these illegals were delivering. Some pagan fertility nonsense as part of our requirement to be "culturally sensitive". Am sure I paid for that.

"how do they know who is Mexican?"
Actually courts and governments make agreements based upon best evidence and statistics all the time. So what percent of expenses should be sent to Mexico can be established.
The immigrants are not the problem. That is found in the District Of Columbia.
Mexico is just going to ignore the hospital. And worse; it is quite possible the hospital will end up paying through some lawsuit regarding discrimination, etc.
Congress and the federal government won't act; rational immigration control with decent treatment of peoples is possible.

Who claims defending the border is racist? Is that a "lefty" thing? Impractical, would be a better fit.
How does this border defense scenario play out in your mind Van ? I'm not trying to be a wise acre, just trying to get a feel for methods & means.
