im not sayin, im jus sayin...numbers dont lie.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has determined that “California has the highest percentage of undocumented aliens in the country”. Based on the DHS numbers, California has 31.6% of these undocumented US individuals which is estimated at a total of 4.48 million immigrants. Even though the Federal Government does NOT provide an overall universal health care program, they do provide 12 states with compensation to help defray some of their costs for covering illegal immigrants. In 2005, California hospitals were provided $70 Million of Federal money to help with this issue. However, that amount barely provided any real coverage. As an example, for just two counties in California in 2005, San Diego County Medical went into the red for $100 Million and Los Angeles County Medical had $140 Million in medical red ink.

However, the answer is to not turn any human being away who needs help, that is an honor to our nation, but rather invest in Mexico ( with profitable returns) to a point where people want to live there, and put stipulations on the assistance such as they must provide medical assistance to everyone as well.
