Why do the same people that support illegal immigration also support Universal Healthcare?

I have seen people that support illegal immigration state that they don't care about those citizens that are losing their jobs to illegal immigrants because those people should have taken advantage of the opportunities they have in this country to go to school and get a better job.

But, those same people that are saying that are also supportive of Universal Healthcare since some people can't afford it. Be it for themselves or their children.

Well, if we use the same argument that they use to support illegal immigration, couldn't we say that those that don't have health coverage did it to themselves because they didn't go to school and get a better job?

Couldn't we use that argument on any other social service? I mean, if you aren't going to care about those that are TRYING to support their families (even though they work at/near minimum wage) why care about those that need anything else?

I don't understand their logic.

Screw those that are working for low pay since they didn't go to college, but support every social system that gives people money for not working.

Yeah…ok….

I guess our own poor only matter when they are leaving the jobs for the illegals to do.

The reason you do not understand their logic is because of fallacious reasoning. It is a double standard. In many political issues, people will tend to favor one side over the other for the sole purpose of what benefits them specifically. Their opinions change when they are not directly affected. It is a hypocrisy that they are usually unaware of. Being that their ideas are formed for emotional reasons rather than rational ones, they are not likely to change their minds after being presented with evidence displaying their double standard(s). They will simply back pedal and/or twist the argument so that they can keep their stance despite its illogical basis.

Do you think it's fair that Mexicans come to the USA illegally, have their children here, which the tax payers

What's up with the Treaty of Hildago-Guadalupe?


I have never seen anyone say that. Please show a link to a question where someone said that.

But I do think we should have universal healthcare so that i can start taking my kids to the doctor instead of just going to the emergency room all the time. There aren't enough different hospitals to go to,.

Edit: Thanks for the link but I meant the part about those being the same people who say they want universal healthcare. I have heard a lot of people say they are against it.

Is it fair for mexican lobbying groups to compare hispanics with the Irish in immigration ? whats your opinion


I've never heard anybody make the statement's that you're claiming.

Illegal immigration isn't the cause of poverty in this country- that's a ridiculous thing for anyone to say.

Universal Healthcare means that nobody ever shows up to a an emergency room and is left to die because they can't afford insurance.

How does that screw the poor?

EDIT: Okay, thanks for the link to that one rambling lunatic, but that was a sarcastic post - the writer didn't really believe his own words. And when did he support Universal Healthcare?!!

Denial of entry at US border?


I'm not for illegal immigration, quite the opposite. I'm for a pragmatic solution that recognizes the economic dependencies on unskilled labor from Latin America and the idiocy of the current legal system.

So, why am I for that and universal health care, because I'm for what is best for the American economy. The sad fact is that employers are having to devote a larger part of their income to pay for the HMOs of workers. Small businesses are seeing that they sometimes cannot hire quality employees simply because they cannot pay for the health care that large employers can. It would spur both small and large businesses if there were some form of minimal health care paid for by the entire population through taxation. At the same time, the economy relies upon unskilled laborers from Latin America. Creating some permanent work status for these people will aid them in finding stable employment and once again help small business owners.

The result is that both proposals are good for the entire economy of the United States. For examples, see California who has seen larger growth under the pro-immigration governors of Davis and Schwarzenegger than the anti-immigration govs that preceded them. In addition, look at Massachusetts whose universal health care (not socialized medicine) proposal has largely seemed so far to increase the ability of employers to aford employees. Both proposals will work...I could care less about the metaphysical or ethical concerns underlying them. Its not because it is right to care for peopl or anything like that, they are good for the entire economy.

It has a socialist flavor, but the hel* with our citizens, let's make it a wonderful world for illegals! It sickens me!

How developed is the uk ?


I know plenty of people who are not for illegal immigration, but are for universal health care.

What's wrong with having health care? US is behind other Western countries when it comes to health care.

Those who speak English being discriminated against?


The people you refer to believe that rich people should be forced to support as many poor people as we can possibly cram into this country.

It is no longer sufficient that they subsidize our own poor; we need to import more poverty to ensure that the rich are sufficiently punished for their wealth.

What do i need to do if im not setizen of united state and i want to go to canada?


tell Anti. if you cant afford to have kids, dont have them. I have worked in the govt providing healthcare and the biggest problem we have is kids who have kids and cant afford them or illegals who come to the US to have thier kids. This has to stop. I think you should have to have a license to have a kid. Yes it may sound harsh, but we waste billions supporting people who do not deserve it.

Am I the only US citizen that is getting beyond sick of the name calling from la raza?


I suppose I'm included in the group that "supports illegal immigration," even though I don't. But no, I do not support universal health care. In fact, I think health care should be harder to get than how it is now.

And you wonder why undocumented immigrants dont pay taxes?


Not necessarily. I am VERY much pro American and want people to come here the RIGHT way...which you know because you have answered many of my questions and we see the exact same way about illegals.

But I am also for making sure that all AMERICAN CITIZENS has medical insurance. IMO, it shouldn't be held over your head to get what should be your right to get. My mother's medical insurance jumped to OVER $500 a MONTH after she was diagnosed with cancer...it was still well over that even after being free of cancer for 15 years and was considered "Cured". That isn't right to me, and I don't think that people should have that held over their head...just to try to help heal themselves so they can be a productive person to society. People don't realize that this is the reason why gas is so expensive over in Europe either...it is heavily taxed to pay for the health care there.

I would like to live USA for five years I have a B.A degree what can i do this?


I think that many people believe that universal health care would be free. It would NOT be free. If they realized that they would have to pay for it, they may not be so eager to have it

This question is for illegal aliens: once in America how do you plan to make America better?


The fact is that illegals work their bums off because they have to. They have no choice. Americans are given every opportunity on the face of the earth and still do not do anything about it! Unless you are handicap, you should not be getting any free rides! Get off your bums and work! Go show people what you are willing to do and stop complaining!

Can I hold an illegal alien captive for days until the police shows up?


They are all the same marxists that scream whatever their college professors and newspapers tell them to scream. There is no rational thought involved.

Whats up with my petition?


all I'm going to say is that

no one in this country should be poor
everyone should have a job
everyone should have health coverage
that's all.
