To say we shouldn't pass healthcare reform because of illegals is cutting off our nose to spite our face.

There is actually another solution, enforce laws against slave labor, so people who are here can actually AFFORD to buy heatlh care. Who is really to blame? The person who comes here looking for a better life, or the person who employs them for dirt cheap wages so they don't have to pay wages a legal citizen or immigrant would take?
I take that back. There are plenty of Americans working for slave wages as well.
