Exactly, stop giving them anything and everything and they will have no reasons to be here or come here.

As I said before, If we give them amnesty we could save money by not trying to hunt them down and deport them and use the money to max. security fence.

No American is denied healthcare because of their inability to pay. You are seriously misinformed

If people feel entitled enough to take to the streets en masse, demanding rights, blocking our traffic, burning our flag--all while they are here illegally, what would they demand if they ever actually got some footing to make demands legally?

Amnesty is only attractive to those who benefit from illegal labor, posture moral superiority, or actually identify with the illegals at some level.
The rest of us recognize that amnesty would breed more illegal immigration (as history has shown), and would permanently diminish our quality of life.

That won't work. They kill alligators and turn them into boots and belts.

ProLogic, no one can be denied emergency medical care- if you go to an ER you have to be seen. Someone has to see you and assess your complaint no matter what it is.

Quote:
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (42 U.S.C. § 1395dd, EMTALA) is a United States Act of Congress passed in 1986 as part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. It requires hospitals and ambulance services to provide care to anyone needing emergency treatment regardless of citizenship, legal status or ability to pay. There are no reimbursement provisions. As a result of the act, patients needing emergency treatment can be discharged only under their own informed consent or when their condition requires transfer to a hospital better equipped to administer the treatment.
EMTALA applies to "participating hospitals", i.e., those that accept payment from the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under the Medicare program. However, in practical terms, EMTALA applies to virtually all hospitals in the U.S., with the exception of the Shriners Hospitals for Children, Indian Health Services, and military VA hospitals. The combined payments of Medicare and Medicaid, $602 billion in 2004,[1] or roughly 44% of all medical expenditures in the U.S., make not participating in EMTALA impractical for nearly all hospitals. EMTALA's provisions apply to all patients, and not just to Medicare patients.
