Re: Edwin S. Rubenstein’s Column: Sick in the City: Bloomberg on Health Care for Illegals
Rubenstein has delivered another bull’s eye report.
So the illegal aliens:
- Undercut wages, thereby generating big profits for their employers
- Pay no taxes on the differential
- Avail themselves at the taxpayer’s expense of all the transfer payments like health care and education.
- Create a greater tax burden should they land in prison. The public must pay not only for their expenses in jail but also for a public defender.
Aliens also have other socially specific economic benefits like multiple families living in one dwelling.
Yet the public has no freedom of dissociation. We have to allow them access to our neighborhoods, schools and hospitals.
Talk about adding insult to injury.
