Fences Keep Illegals from Needed Health Care

Although the barrier covers only a tiny section of the 362 miles of international border in Arizona and even less of the nearly 2,000 miles of U.S.-Mexico border, the Minuteman organization insists the impact on illegal immigration will be more than just symbolic…

But it is “going to do an awful lot for me personally, as far as protecting my cows, protecting me and my family,” he said. “What it has done is brought so much attention, an awful lot of attention.”

The effect will be twofold, said Al Garza, Minuteman Civil Defense Corps national executive director. First, it will force traffic to the east and west and give the Border Patrol an area it won’t have to patrol.

The efforts of private groups attempting to do what should have been done years ago only helps to keep the issue in the public eye. It will also free up border patrol to watch other areas as well as protect those farmers near the fence. It may not protect the nation but it would if the fence was finished. It will also prevent shootings like this one.

A Mexican man was shot Wednesday morning near the border by a group reportedly looking for drugs in an area the Santa Cruz County sheriff said is frequently used for smuggling.

Some are tauting the use of web cams to help monitor the border and watch for illegals.

A monthlong “stress test” of Gov. Rick Perry’s border Web camera network has ended, with state officials Sunday touting it as a success beyond anyone’s dreams.The network of eight cameras dotting South Texas linked to a state Web site — a setup that cost around $210,000. It netted 27.9 million hits and a handful of arrests.

“It was successful at a number of levels,” said Robert Black, a spokesman for the governor. “Certainly it has allowed us to put a spotlight on an issue that is very important to Texans and the country, and that is border security.”

Then again perhaps the government will just spend the money we send for flu shots for illegals.

The Bush Administration has indicated it wants doctors, clinics, and hospitals to provide flu immunizations to illegal immigrants.In an interview with KFOX-TV, Secretary of Health and Human Services Michael Leavitt was asked if the federal government has any safeguards to prevent illegal immigrants from catching the flu. Leavitt responded by saying doctors should give flu shots to “every person.”

Now the fence will attacked for what it really means… Bigoted Americans who only want to stop illegals from getting good quality health care. They hold back care.. shot them and build fences. Some how I wonder just how much of our money they will want to spend and what projects will now take priority. The fence? It will go unfunded and the flu shots will get the money. It’s part of the universal health care plan. Piece by piece it is going into place.
