Since Tad asked, here are a couple of links to articles about the direct cost of health care for illegal aliens.

I chose these articles because it's close to home for me. My property taxes help pay for the $1.5B annual operating costs for Parkland hospital as well as the $1.25B bond it took to pay for the new hospital. I'm happy to help some people in need. It's just gotten way out of hand over the last couple of decades. I'm beginning to feel most US Citizen's good and helpful nature is being used against them.
