Giuliani, Crime-Buster

Submitted by Tim Barrus, Sep 10, 2007 07:39

I know of a situation where an illegal alien was living with a poor family. People in the same economic boat often share the same living space. There was a newborn here. The baby is an American citizen. The newborn was ill with the flu and was dehydrating quickly. In fact, the baby was on its last legs. No one could afford either a doctor or an emergency room. There was no health insurance (get real). The parents did not know what to do. They had reached the point where they understood they were going to loe this child. But the illegal immigrant, being from Latin America where she had encountered this problem, knew just what concoction to mix together to save the child. The child took to it and lived. 1.) Illegal immigrants are not evil. 2.) Whether we like it or not they contribute. They wash your dishes at the restaurant you can afford to eat in. They clean your toilets. 3.) There should be universal health care for children at the very least. It's America that is evil. 4.) What about a right to life.
