Looking to start a thread to hear from those opposed to us providing healthcare to undocumented immigrants and the reasoning why.

Why should I pay for an illegal Mexican to get healthcare when Ghot can't even get his mental healthcare?

Undocumented immigrants pay taxes though, including federal income taxes for many.

Because of the potential infectious diseases that are more prevalent in illegals, these diseases don't discriminate when picking whom to spread to.

When tons of US citizens go bankrupt because of medical bills, undocumented immigrants receiving free medical care feels very unfair.

But instead of taking the medical care away from the immigrants, the better option would be to make sure the American populace has access to affordable healthcare.

It would be foolish to provide even more incentive to enter the country illegally.

Not the American mentality. We race for the bottom.

Open borders (kind of the de facto state right now).

Generous welfare state.

Pick one.

As a non-US citizen who has been to the US multiple times in the last decade, your borders are far from open.
