I have empathy for everyone on this story. I empathize with the illegals and I empathize with the people that have problems with them getting any kind of social aid. I have lived in Guatemala and seen the conditions these people are fleeing from. I would do the same if I was a Guatemalan. What I challange the people of this country to do is not mix the problems. Our health care system is horribly broken here. You are right, US citizens have a very hard time affording or finding help. That is one problem and should be addressed by our leaders. Many other countries do health care for all. England until very recently would treat citizens and non-citizens withoug question. What a concept to care for all. How you feel about immigration or illegals is one problem. Our health care is another. I believe that people hold the immigrants up as the problem when in fact health care needs to be fixed either way.
