They already have clinics for non-emergencies they are called Urgent Care but you do have to pay a fee if you don't have insurance and since that's the case that's why these illegals and their broods tie up our ER's!
Have you been to an ER? Everyone who doesn't have any money tries the ER first. You might only go to the ER in an emergency, but there are huge numbers of people who see that as their doctor's office, including citizens. Should they go to the ER? No. But they do, and the ER is obligated to at least examine them. Personally, I would be happy if the ER doctors saw them, told them they had a cold or whatever and sent them on their way with no treatment and told to go to a clinic. Or, the triage nurse could do that.

How many of them then sneaked back into the country? Good grief! There are untold millions of them in this country and they keep coming every.single.day.

Do you seriously think that when they are turned back at the border, they are just going to walk back home? If anyone believes that then I have some oceanfront property in AZ to sell to them.

We have illegals currently living in the US that have been deported multiple times and each time they are deported, they sneak right back in.

Adding millions of illegal aliens to the mix just compounds our crowded ER problem. Of course I have been to the ER and have seen it first hand.

The Urgent Care clinics are overcrowded to.

Hopefully, when they run out of other people's tax money, they will find another country to sucker.

Even if they entered the USA, it is not the full story:
Migrant encounters do not equal the number of individual migrants taken into U.S. immigration custody or the number of migrants allowed to stay in the country.

Nearly 73,000, or 40%, of the Border Patrol arrests in July resulted in migrants being expelled to Mexico or their home countries without an opportunity to seek asylum.

Moreover, 22% of border arrests in July involved migrants who had previously tried to enter the U.S. unlawfully. The high rate of repeat crossings is partly a result of the mass Title 42 expulsions, which allow some migrants to try to enter the U.S. multiple times without the threat of criminal penalties or detention.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/u-s-bor...hit-2-million/

BTW a huge proportion of the several million people that attempted to enter the USA was already deported.

BTW huge amount of people entered illegally under Trump too. Even if Trump was President they will still have come. After all the migrant caravans still came. No matter who is president, the potential migrants will still come.

"The 5 million figure includes 3.9 million who have been apprehended entering the U.S. illegally nationwide and 3.4 million at the southern border. It also includes a minimum of 900,000 gotaways though that number is likely higher, Border Patrol agents and law enforcement officials have told The Center Square."

While they wait, from what I gather from reading about SSI, and other benefits, they can receive benefits of cash assistance, medical, etc., while over 1/2 million US citizens are homeless, while the elderly wait for services that help them remain in their homes, while those with mental health issues go without treatment or end up waiting for funding to come through, while people with physical and developmental disabilities are placed on waiting lists of up to 10+ years before they can get services..............

Years ago, in the 1990s, when we were in SW AZ, the border patrol said that approximately 30,000 were crossing per month illegally into the USA.

Now, anyone that thinks securing that border, no matter how much it would cost, would not save us money needs to go back to elementary school and study math!
I could not agree more. I have seen my own fellow citizens in need of help and wait YEARS. One example is housing. Citizen adults, including many veterans, can wait homeless on the street for years before receiving any sort of housing stipend. Women, no matter who they are so long as they have children, are put at the front of the queue.

I have a friend who worked a physically demanding job her entire life. She finally retired a few years ago. She has quite a few health problems including having to have surgeries on both knees and both feet. Her SS was tiny to begin with, but a couple of years ago it was reduced to less than $400 a month because SS needed the money for the illegals and their anchor babies.

Yes, I have witnessed this exact sort of thing several times over the last several years. How they can call these "emergency rooms" is beyond me.

I know I will never vote for a Democrat again because they are no longer the party they were. They destroyed this country and killed the patriotism with it.
I agree. The Democratic is not the party it once was. I guess everything changes, but it is shocking.

Five Million "immigrats"? No biggie.

Notice how the democrats stopped screaming at the top of their lungs about Obamacare and affordable healthcare?

Here's your healthcare plan, drive to Mexico, ditch your car, then cross over as an illegal, get bussed to wherever, then you're set, even get the free cell phone.
