I am stunned that local welfare programs even pay for penis pumps. No way taxpayer money should go to that for 'real Americans' or illegals.

Is this a joke? The town is ShakoPee Minnesota.

This is part of the reason why 600 hospitals closed in California.

Pun notwithstanding, the town is real, as is the pump. I agree; a penis pump is not a life-saving device.

If a man needs one, he should be required to pay for it; or, forever hold his piece.

Nothing. The bill was picked up by the county taxpayers. The story was about county prisoners needing medical attention & the number of illegals in the county's prison population. I don't even want to think about why a prisoner would need a penis pump implant.

At the end of the article:

"What happened to the convicted felon who got a penis pump at taxpayer expense?
After serving 98 days for a felony in the Scott County Jail — at a $12,000 cost to local taxpayers — the man was supposed to be held for deportation. Instead, he was released with only a deportation court date because U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement didn’t want to be responsible for medical costs he might incur while in federal custody.


This same man had a different warrant out for his arrest when arrested in Scott County, and he skipped a court hearing here while out on bail.
“The odds of him reporting voluntarily for his deportation hearing are probably slim to none,” Ciliberto said"




The ID theft cost someone $27,000 and untold hours of frustration, not including legal costs to make things right.

Taxpayers paid $12,000 for his incarceration.

Who knows how much the total bill was for the penis pump, which probably was foisted off on the taxpayers of that county and state.

The Feds don't want to do their job properly for fear of incurring medical expenses.

The illegal breaks the law coming into the country, continues breaking the law and is rewarded with a penis pump and surgical costs.

Yet people wonder why some of us want immigration laws enforced.

This travesty is being repeated nationwide, while ALL opponents of illegal immigration are labeled as racists, xenophobes, nativists, and haters. How long must taxpayers continue to bear the burden for illegal alien penis pumps, breast implants, kidney dialysis, organ transplants, maternity care, etc? Enough of this BS; it’s time for them to leave.
