Quote of the Day - Page 25

The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that the current cost of treating uninsured immigrants who entered this country illegally at all levels of government to be $4.3 billion a year, primarily at emergency rooms and free clinics. This doesn't take into account the billions being absorbed by in-patient care delivered by hospitals.

Who is picking up these costs? Every American taxpayer — not to mention medical facilities and insurance companies who turn around and raise their rates for everyone else.

Always been like this for years and years. What does this have to do with national sovereignty or Obamacare? Poor and working poor people haven't been covered by insurance who picks up that tab which BTW is way more than the few billions you posted?

We were all immigrants at one time or another unless native American so the attitudes toward immigrants/illegals are appalling considering most of our families weren't originally born in America. Talk about me, me, me Presidents. Look at the people in this country and it is apparent why some believe what they do. Disgusting and hypocritical all rolled up into one.

BTW, I am sure the non-quote by Ben Stein was originated from our friends the tea party, sounds like something they would come up with.

 

What does this have to do with national sovereignty

It has everything to do with national sovereignty, though it is only a small piece of a much larger puzzle. On the other side of the coin rests the outsourcing of jobs. Both undermine the best interests of the average US citizen, many of whom are suffering right now.

What does the quote have to do with national sovereignty? We are talking about quotes here, are we not?  You are the master of the twist and spin so have at it. Twist and spin all you want maybe you can get some to believe it.

Outsourcing jobs - lol. Wonder why that all came about? Hmmmm, will leave you to spin it into your own delusions.

 

You're starting to revert and digress once again admin.  Because you cannot, do not, or do not wish to apprehend, does not make it a "twist", but you generally do not give yourself half a chance. Likely, because when it comes down to it, you're not interested in learning and growing, simply spouting and ranting. Have at it.

lol, of course. Put it all on me, another famous ploy/twist of yours. There is no learning from a quote that wasn't even a quote, well unless you spin it into being about something it wasn't about.

Oh well I tried to show you that the quote wasn't even a quote by Ben and you twisted as per usual.

My first attempt at politics is a fail !!,,Should have known better,,I hate politics!
 

Wasn't a fail - it was just attributed to the wrong person and then the spin master had to come to the rescue and change it all around and put the blame on someone else, seems pretty typical.

GSD,,Come to the rescue??,,Come on ,,,:(
No one is putting blame on anyone!,,
Chill!,,:)
 

This quote seems to put it all on me. Who is spouting and ranting? Did you miss this and the others before it? When you have no basis to argue blame it on the other person - it is what spin doctors do.
