How much more disgusting can this get?
Exactly!

The "poor" in America are richer than the vast majority of people on planet earth. But what do they give to the sick and starving in the 3rd world? Nothing! A big FAT nothing.

But for some reason (wink, wink) the poor thinks it's OK to ask the rich in America to pay for their stuff, because they have more.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Being poor in America is no picnic but you probably have never known hunger or worked a crappy job for longer than a couple months.

Only in America where the poor people are fat.

If you go to other places, you will see how poverty really looks like. Compare to them, the "poor" Americans are filthy rich!

His point stands though.

I'm not deflecting. You keep deflecting. There's nothing about being an American that stops you from helping others less fortunate than you in the third word. Other than your massive hypocrisy.

Our house hold, like many in America sponsors people less fortunate in the third world. Two bucks a day for school children's education in the Philippines. Why don't you? What's stopping you? You're so passionate about people with more, giving to people with less.

Well you'd be wrong about that. Growing up we got no junk food and only got soda at Christmas. For the poor in America, it's their #1 purchase.

No, you only care about yourself and what you can take from others. You don't give a rats about the poor and starving.

So because the poor aren't perfect we should deny them healthcare?

Done.
That is of course simplistic nonsense.

1. No such law will pass. There are any number of people who at one point may be illegal but in fact regain legal status. I have been an illegal alien for short periods of time in a couple of countries. And it happens simply because of our system sometimes. And if we were stupid enough to pass such a law the result would be the establishment of a hard core and permanent under class. They won't go home they will go to the dark side.
2. Harboring an illegal is a virtually impossible to prove crime. Aside from organized attempts to recruit and harbor illegals it is never going to be enforceable.
3. The only way to deport hospital patients or school kids would be to take effort from the deportation of criminals and new arrivals. So you get rid of the kids at substantial cost while letting the criminals and new arrivals alone. You really think that good policy?

YOu are simply ignoring the faxct there is not support for any large scale deportations. There is no funding for it and there is not going to be any.
