I can see why you don't like Star Trek's Prime Directive, but when concentrating in the fictional universe, it makes sense.

hmmm, three Laws of Robotics, a thing that comes to mind is the slavery of artificial sentient beings.

Exactly WTF does Star Trek and Isaac Asimov have to do with illegal immigration? You are going off on a tangent about the wrong kind of alien invaders,


Klingons have a right to social welfare too!

My apologies i missed the part in parenthesis after one of the statements in your quote. But you quoted roughly half of this study's summary which i think is suspect next time immediately include links with your quotes.

The parts in bold acknowledge a link between uninsured patiences and uncompensated health care, in addition the statistics while not completely supporting my claims do acknowledge that unauthorized immigrants contribute to the problem of uncompensated health care. In fact the file you linked acknowledges a wide gap in rate of uninsured individuals when you compare citizens and legal immigrants.( that is 59% of illegal immigrants(adults) are uninsured in comparison to 25% of legal immigrants and 14% for native born citizens.) this gap is apparent in all the other groups mentioned albeit at different levels.

The study acknowledge that illegal immigration does drive the cost of uncompensated up they just state that it is unclear how much. they also say that native born citizens contribute to uncompensated health care and they are likely correct in this matter however native born citizens have a right to be here(and should face our legal system) wheres illegal immigrants do not(and should be deported because they lack the legal right to be here) and they can no longer contribute to the problems of our health care system if they are in their own countries and not ours. Controlling the border and illegal immigration would affect uncompensated health care costs in a positive manner. The study you linked acknowledges this, will you? Also i find it odd that this study can divide the rates of insurance by authorized and unauthorized but not the percentile distribution of health care costs.(if someone could tell me why it would be appreciated)

The summary in its entirety wrote:
It is difficult to make the case that unauthorized immigrants, as a group, drive uncompensated care costs. Certainly
the impacts are not uniform. The hospitals in communities with large numbers of uninsured, unauthorized immigrants as
patients bear a disproportionate burden as a result of illegal immigration.
While rates of uninsurance are higher among immigrants as a group (authorized and unauthorized) than in the native-
born population, the number of native-born uninsured is larger than the number of uninsured immigrants. Further,
because immigrant usage of heath care services is significantly lower than that of native-born people, it becomes even
harder to make the case that immigrants drive these costs. Certainly, uncompensated care costs are a serious problem
for the health care system in the United States, particularly in areas with large numbers of uninsured patients. But, while
illegal immigration is a problem with many other dimensions, its links to uncompensated health care costs are far from
straightforward.

contribute to the probem... yes of course. nobody is disputing that. but they are not the majority of the problem, as someone was stating, according to this study.

if you try researching it yourself, you will see more evidence to support what i am saying.

funny but the full quote still supports my point, there are just extraneous summary details. what are you trying to prove here? i'm confused, because you keep offering information that furthers my own point. perhaps you are agreeing with me?

Incorrect according to this study the amount of blame attributed to each group can not be accounted for due to lack of data. I'm starting to think your comprehension skills are lacking.

EDIT: It is also natural for the native born group to have a greater effect on any costs they are the larger group. But they are citizens wheres illegal immigrants are not supposed to be here the amount of damage(because they are doing damage) they are doing is irrelevant when you put this into consideration they should be deported.

i didn't ever stae anything about how much of the problem could be attributed to any one group... only that the illegal immigrants were not the biggest part of the problem... if you go back and actually read what i wrote, you could maybe see that for yourself. perhaps.

you haven't presented any valid argument against that point. only that you think that the illegal immigrants are not entitled to be in the united states, and therefore have no actual entitlement to health care... which is moot, because they are receiving the health care whether you agree with it or not.

you can pick that study apart, but you haven't replaced my data with anything except for your own nitpicking arguments.

EDIT: the summary supports exactly what i said. i bolded the applicable part.

England has just been informed by the European Union that they must give full welfare rights to anyone who turns up.

That means that any useless Gypsy from Romania (who doesn't even speak English) can demand public housing, money, and full medical coverage.

At least under European law the Romanians are allowed to move to England.

As for Mexicans in America.... What part of "illegal alien" don't you understand?

By saying they are not part of the biggest group you are claiming how much of the problem should be attributed to them.(you would be claiming they have hold less blame) I have pointed out that while the study you link claims that they are not the major cause of the problem it also acknowledges that they have no definite way of supporting their claims which is my valid argument against your point. This is not nitpicking this is stating the flaw in your claims that the study supports your argument which it doesn't. I have also argued that how much damage they have done is irrelevant as they are doing damage.

Its not that i think they are not entitled to be in the united states its that they legally have no right to be here, hence the term illegal. Saying my point is moot would be incorrect as all arguments have the potential for change.(assuming your using the word to mean null or pointless)

EDIT: Harder does not make your point harder means that they acknowledge that their results may be argued against with justified doubt.
EDIT2: I do not understand your continued efforts to marginalize the damage they are doing my argument does not hinge on the amount of damage just on that damage is being done. Damage that you have agreed exists.

did you actually have an argument in there? i am not certain because you don't seem to be working towards any particular point. also, did you bother to go look at any additional research, or did you want to keep trying to fruitlessly nitpick the one single summary?

Well, in America, we've done nothing but throw billions of dollars at black people in the process of hundreds of 'leg up' programs. So many schemes have been tried........ forced deseg, busing,....... even if I gave a damn, I'd just be at a loss as it seems that possibly the black community isn't putting in the effort on their end.

It seems to me its the black community that wants it both ways........ They always complain about how much 'the man' oppresses them and how bad they have it, but they sure don't complain about the handouts, government cheese, and the quality of life and level of entertainment in this country.

Besides that, I honestly have no idea what more whites could be doing to help blacks? We even voted in an affirmative action president. We throw billions and billions of dollars at minority communities, to see no noticeable improvement. So what else can one suggest?

Over the last 50 years, white progressives have tried everything to help out black people. For example, it was decided to send the top white teachers into hood schools and pay them double salary, as it was thought that 'the best white teachers,' would finally get through to incorrigible black students. But within weeks, most of these little old white ladies had nervous breakdowns from the sheer chaos of the hood schools.

Why should so much money keep getting funneled into dysfunctional communities when the roots of the problems are not addressed?

White American students are not any less intelligent than 'the Germans and Japanese,' (per our test scores.) Even though guys like Clinton won't admit it or state it publically, it is really the minority students with abysmal scores dragging everyone down, and then white students get unfairly shafted with 10-hour school days to compensate.

Consider the current Afro-American push to 'get rid of textbooks' in Public shools, per their delusions that black students 'Aren't verbal learners.' and can't be expected to be bothered with reading a textbook.

I do believe that you can and they can, but black people are so weaned on government handouts and seemingly won't do anything but rely on the Feds and
white people to continue to support them.

If you ever listen to black democrat politicians, pretty much every sentence is prefixed with things like "the government must," or "we need a program." Its always gotta be a taxpayer program for something or another.

I actually think that you are one of the few blacks who actually do transcend, but sadly, your society is not defined by its exceptions.

Well the fact that there ARE black politicians suggests that they aren't all feckless layabouts, and that there are not so many blocks between the average black citizen and anyone else. You're still being rudely generic about what is not just A race but many, but is this problem something to do with American Black culture, or counter-culture, or what? Is it something caused by a bad combination of two different cultures? Does the same problem exist with ALL minorities in the US, or just "blacks"?

That is where you are wrong. A lot of people are getting ahead. Ignoring that fact is what makes your posts sound racist and offensive.
Maybe you don't see it. Maybe ignorant gangstas make more noise and attract more attention and cause more aggravation. But you make it sound as though no black person is capable of doing anything. even though your head man is black.

The UK has different issues to the US. But here most of your comments apply just as equally to the poor white 'chav' lads.

I too noticed the parallels. The problem of "fashionable idiocy and ignorance" is clearly not race-discreet at all. So what is it that drives any group or culture to CHOOSE to be f*****g pigshit thick as if its something to be proud of? Golden question.

It's not that they're black that the money's being wasted though, it's the "leg-up" programs, I think. If they weren't targeted for benefits without working (well, sitting in a waiting room actually can be a lot of work if a person has no patience), they would probably seek to work for a living more often. Most immigrants from our southern border come here seeking employment and desiring to work, so the main amount of Latinos who illegally immigrate to the Estados Unidos quieren a trabajar. Pero los personas quien pueden obtainar peccuniam sin trabajando tienen no ration para trabajar.

Whether they contribute to the problem or are the biggest part of the problem, we shouldn't be dealing with them being a problem at all!
