Re: Eventually in the Billions - Where Will the Money Come From?
Mexico would never pick up the tab for the children. They don't even pay for them in Mexico! I would hope their healthcare system is getting better, but in the years I'm familiar with and from the people I knew, they had nothing like what we have here. The poor, and there were so, so many, died in the street. A lot of them are still being treated by the curanderos, who mix their own potions from weeds in the garden, and wave chickens over their heads. I kid you not. And no, no one is being deported for being sick. Medical care is definitely one of the reasons, along with many other benefits, that people are crossing the border. My sister's husband has family that lived here many years, became legal in the amnesty, and then moved back to Mexico. They live 48 hours away, and every few months they come up here for their medical care.
