Lookout, I don't doubt that there are some instances where people are getting hosed, particularly in traffic accident situations. However:
--The dollar amounts I've seen on what illegals "cost" varies...quite widely.
--Any numbers thrown around regarding illegals are half-assed at best, IMO. After all, we're talking about illegals. Who knows what the real numbers are.
--A cost-benefit analysis could very well show that the benefits of illegals outweigh the costs.
--Of the big immigrant states, Arizona seems to be the most sensitive to issues involving illegals (California is probably a close second).
Taking those into account, I wonder if the real issue is perception.
As far as Philadelphia, from what I know and have seen, we have a growing number of illegal Mexicans in South Philly, but I don't think they constitute a real problem.
