Why do people keep getting benefits and rights that were not meant for them?
You have this headline:
U.S. Extends Geneva Rights to Detainees
Geneva Rights are for soldiers. These are terrorists who belong to no country. They do not follow the Geneva Convention anyway. Unless cutting off people's heads is part of it.
Then you can add in illegal immigrants. Dem's want them to have free health care, drivers licenses and free education. And don't even try and say that is a lie, if you do you are uninformed and have not paid attention to anything happening in the Southwestern United States.

People keep getting what they don't deserve

It has nothing to do with who we are holding, game. It has to do with us. Every Con who screams bloody murder about killing alledged terrorists, has no right to claim outrage over them killing us. If they are terrorists, try them in court. If you can try them in court for anything, grant them Geneva rights and lock them up. Those are the rules, remember? Another example of Con hypocrisy. The rules arent negotiable...as long as they benefit.
We are supposed to try the enemy in court during a war?
I'm glad you weren't running things during WWII.
jason, you are now holder of the 'I refuse to read shit about what other people comment in games blog' Award. This is two straight(having gotten to this one after a more recent one) posts you have directed at me that dont actually relate to what I said.
Focusing on Healthcare Costs of Illegal Immigrants Draws Attention Away from the Real Problem
Too many illegal immigrants are overwhelming the healthcare system and driving up health insurance costs. That's the latest sound bite in the war of words over immigration reform. In a recent poll, a majority of the respondents thought that illegal immigrants were responsible for 50 percent or more of the uninsured treated in Southern California hospitals. But is that really the case?
While it is true that providing treatment to undocumented immigrants creates a drain on hospital resources, the question is: How much of the problem can reasonably be attributed to the undocumented? And if we solved the problem of illegal immigration tomorrow -- which we won't -- would healthcare costs return to "reasonable" levels?
Illegal immigrants are responsible for roughly 20 percent of the $2 billion in unreimbursed care that Southern California hospitals deliver each year. Even if you consider that factor, you have to conclude that it's the larger problem of just simply having so many uninsured patients that is a key driver of rising hospital costs.
In order to receive federal Medicare and Medicaid payments, a hospital must agree to treat and stabilize everybody who shows up to a hospital ER regardless of their ability to pay or their immigration status. That means undocumented immigrants who show up at the emergency room will receive treatment regardless of their immigration status or whether they're insured. But so will legal immigrants, naturalized citizens and native-born Americans.
It is a matter of law that these people receive treatment. Indeed, we may have an ethical responsibility to do so as well. The problem is that most hospitals in California end up being paid for only about 5 percent of the medical care given to uninsured patients. And that leads to the question: So, who's going to pick up the tab?
In the absence of strong political leadership on the question of insuring the uninsured, the answer, inevitably, is that hospitals and those patients with insurance, as well as those uninsured who do pay, will end up paying for those who seek care without insurance -- regardless of whether they are here legally or not.
