    Many Democrats running for president support the idea of paying for the healthcare of illegal immigrants.

    This is insane. There is no other way to describe it. And I say this as someone who is generally liberal on immigration issues.

    I cannot believe even one Democrat would admit to holding this view, let alone many of their presidential candidates.

    Is this the Democratic vision for the USA? Free healthcare for people who aren't US citizens? What's next on the Democratic agenda? Voting rights for people who don't even reside in the country?

    If an illegal immigrant poses a serious health threat to others, then the rational response is quarantine followed by deportation. NOT sending them to a free clinic paid for by US taxpayers.

    What? We’ve been assured repeatedly by leftists these folks are healthier than citizens and do not carry infectious disease.

    Is this changing like the “crisis” mantra did?

    Oh, well in that case, it's cool to let people die in the streets.

    I'm surprised the dem candidates aren't for free U.S. health care for all the people in Mexico, paid for by borrowing money from China, and having the U.S. citizens pay the interest on the borrowed money. Oh wait, I think they are, they all raised their hands. They are really giving the shaft to the U.S. voters whom they are asking to vote for them. The votes will tell us how many fools fell off the turnip truck. You still want to be a democrat?

    It is totally insane. I don't even owe health care for my next door neighbor, much less for a non-citizen.

    The democrats are actively and publicly recruiting millions of people to swarm the southern border and flood into California ahead of the 2020 census. That's what that image of them all raising their hands at the debate was about. People are dieing, and it's all for democrats political gain.

    The problem is, illegal aliens are already getting free health care from clinics, hospitals, emergency rooms, etc. It's costing taxpayers a bundle because their avenue to health care is usually through an Emergency entrance door. Underline expensive. The whole system is haywire. Shouting to the rooftops that we should give illegal aliens free health care is like shouting the sun rises in the east. So what are the options?

    Well, I guess we could issue all illegal aliens an "illegal aliens medicare" card. Just put a big red sign out in front of every Social Security Office that says - HEY ALL YOU ILLEGAL ALIENS DROP IN FOR YOUR FREE MEDICARE CARD!

    Or we could just keep using taxpayers dollars trying to deport 20-30 million illegals. I wonder how much health care that would buy?

    Then there's always the old Reagan standby -- issue blanket amnesty.

    Or, just keep doing what we're doing and raise a big stink around election time.

    Place your bets on which route we will take.

    Then do what we do

    EVERYONE has a “Medicare cad” and that entitles you to free health care.

    Thinks is - they are only issued to Australian residents and citizens. If you are not either a resident or a citizen of Australia you pay. You either get insurance or pay out of pocket. Some countries we do have “agreements” with - UKL citizens can get free health care here and we can get free health care there.

    I dunno, judging from Australia's mental health and suicide epidemic I don't think their health care program is something to crow about ;)

    He's someone the right uses when it suits their political agenda, and ignores when it doesn't.

    You keep contradicting your leftist brudders and you'll find yourself on the outside looking in :) That's what we have been telling them over and over and over! Looks like at least one of them is willing to endorse our message!

    Jesus isn't magic, he was a philosopher. Lots of lessons about how to be a good person.

    It's not surprising that a Trump supporter would call themselves Satan, and doesn't give a rat's ass about others.

    But like I said, Jesus is someone the right, even Trump and many of his supporters, uses when it suits their political agenda, and they ignore when it doesn't.

    The progressive left is quite literally digging the grave of the Democrat party.

    So when one strawman fails, you use another one... I can't see how this helps at all..
