    Send them back and be treated in their country. This country is in peril from the total costs that the illegals are costing this country. Close our borders.
    I pay high medical expenses, worked all my life in this country, and now i am paying for illegals. Tax payers are all paying. Vote politicians out that do nothing to resolve this issue

    Luis Jimenez is his own problem. If his mother wishes to care for him than he
    can count himself a lucky man. However, in the matter of his outstanding
    medical bill owed to Martin Memorial Hospital 2kliksout has cut through the
    clutter with the proposal that the country of origin should be held responsible.
    Guatemala should pay directly or through a reduction in any proposed foreign aid bill. Also the million plus Guatemalan illegals in the U.S. that work off the books should be taxed by monitoring the money transfers made to their families every payday and taxing those without a proper green card or s.s.#.

    He chose to break into the country, defying our laws by his own free will BEFORE he was brain damaged.

    Neither the government or the hospitals should have to pay. Your poll is flawed and bias.

    I agree with Mr. Carmen with one additional thought. The illegal immigrant
    should be detained as soon as his status is known, all information regarding him
    and his family and country of origin should be garnered to collect for his medical
    bills. We should sue his country of origin for the cost or delete them from foreign aid packages for that country.

    Well, the hospitals should not pay for them.. If the govt. is allowing the illegals to come in then they should pay for them or send them home. We have our own people who work here and pay taxes who are are legal and abide by the rules.

    I am totally against the federal or local governments paying hospital or any costs for illegal immigrants. Why should our hard earned tax dollars support these immigrants who are here illegally? Let them become US Citizens.

    There are so many poor American citizens who cannot afford health insurance.

    Immigration officials should be notified at the hospital. Deportation procedures should begin immediately.
