Well, well, well….
We all know that the flu and other such viruses don´t check visas before infecting us… and we all know that the undocumenteds pay taxes…. AND we all know that there is always a Hispanic male somewhere who would rather cator to a white woman than mi gente…

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) _ Immigrants living in New Mexico illegally will not be covered by Gov. Bill Richardson’s proposal for universal health care. (Universal????)
Richardson, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, has said his goal is to ensure all New Mexicans have access to medical coverage. However, illegal immigrants _ and some legal immigrants who recently arrived in the United States _ will not be eligible for the publicly financed health programs Richardson proposes to offer to low- and middle-income households that don’t have medical insurance.
Nationwide, an estimated 12 million immigrants are living illegally in the country.
As governor, Richardson has advocated immigrant-friendly policies. He supported allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses in New Mexico, partly to reduce the problem of uninsured drivers who contribute to higher insurance costs for other motorists.

Advocates for universal health care have made similar arguments about health insurance, saying that medical costs are driven up partly by the unreimbursed care provided to the uninsured.
