Legal citizens do all of that as well. Bankruptcy laws were changed because so many had abused them by accumulating massive amounts of debt and then using their get-out-of-debt free card.
Hospitals can't turn away anyone in need of care, nor would I want them to. The system is abused enough as it is with people receiving 6 figure operations for me to care too much about someone taking up a bed for a night.
I apologize if I'm playing Devil's Advocate too much, but it's funny to me that people attribute a systemic recession to the lowest rung of the ladder.

Legal citizens, you said it. Legal citizens who have to deal with the consequences of ripping off AMERICAN banks with bad credit. These illegals dont give 2 shits. They just go back to their country. They dont have to deal with the repercussions of bad credit or bankruptcy. Maybe you're just not exposed to it or haven't been too much but I have. I've seen many do it and some were friends. From my experience, they're good people but are a drain on our economy.

Hey, it goes without saying that illegal immigrants ripping off the system is not a good thing. I'm not arguing that. I'm just pointing out that they also serve as a crutch to certain aspects of our economy as well, not to mention the pure logistical nightmare of what you're suggesting the solution is.

I agree. They do and have played a key role in this country. This country is in a recession and jobs are scarce. That doesnt mean all these illegals should lose their jobs.......and then, when things get better, they can work again. Wouldn't be fair. I'm not even so opposed to them being here or working. My main issue is the exploitation of our banks(credit cards) and not paying bills(hospital, car loans, houses, etc.) Yes, many americans do it too but they stay in the county and suffer the consequences of a car repo or racking up 30k in cc debt and not paying taxes.
One issues i see with the cheap labor though. Slavery ended over 100 years ago. I'm not comfortable with "cheap labor". It's basically allowing companies to hire people for 3 bucks an hour. Yes, these people need work but they are exploited people. If these companies cant make it legitimately, close your business or figure out ways to be legally profitable.
I say, make them all legal if they're already here. Of what i've read, Obamas health plan will make them pay for healthcare, maybe not. Make them pay taxes and lets move on. No way in hell are we going to get rid of them so lets work with what we have.
