The Department of Homeland Security estimates there were approximately 11.6 million illegal aliens in the United States in 2006 and that as many as 370,000 are in North Carolina. If these numbers are correct illegal aliens make up 25% of the uninsured people the Obama Plan proposes to cover, but not apparently by using insurance. They would just get "free" care at ER's which would actually mean that the cost of this health care would be borne by those who paid for insurance or their own health care. Why would everyone feel a need to buy health insurance when you can get care by simply walking (or being rolled) into an Emergency Room? So we're going to still be left with 12 million people without health insurance but they are going to be provided care anyway. [1]

Recent statements in Mexico from both President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary something needs to be done. "Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the deaths of police officers, soldiers, and civilians," Hillary whined.[1]

When the Berks center opened in March 2001, the federal government was paying the county $3.6 million for housing families in a renovated wing of Berks Heim, the county nursing home.[1]
An aide to Benoit said illegal immigrants comprise 12 percent ? roughly 20,500 inmates ? of the state?s prison population. The cost of housing those prisoners is expected to total $970 million in the current fiscal year ? up 146 percent compared to three years ago, according to Benoit. Under SCAAP, the state received reimbursement of about 11 percent from the federal government for the 2007-2008 fiscal year, leaving California taxpayers to foot the balance of the bill, he said.[2] The center, which generates more than $3 million in income annually for the county, costs $5.6 million a year to operate.[1]
