An Effective Band-Aid?
The Bush administration has decided to try and "help" some border states and their health-care systems by providing 1 billion dollars in federal aid to help offset funds lost due to the care of illegal immigrants (who don't pay their bills). How does this help when the real problem is that these people shouldn't be here in the first place! Why wouldn't this policy just encourage more people to abuse the system?
Perhaps the Bush administration can forward the bill to the government of Mexico for reimbursement.
