By that argument, government can do nothing. (Yeah. I know. Some people will say that's an improvement.) But the truth is that
everything that the government does at that level will cut a wide swath. There's no way you can tally all the downstream costs.
I gotta go with Kitsune on this one. 1) I haven't seen any figures that undocumented immigrants are a significant portion of those getting free treatment. 2) Even if you've got figures to show the above, this is not a med insurance issue. It's a whole other deal. I'd say give 'em all social security cards, let 'em pay taxes like the rest of us and call it a day.
