Hospitals Overwhelmed - O'Reilly Factor, 11/22/02
O'Reilly: Dr. Lorenzo Pelly practices internal medicine at two Brownsville hospitals. Brownsville, of course is in Texas.
Pelly: "Premature babies about to be delivered, gunshot wounds, crush injuries, patients with neuro trauma, and, worst yet, patients that have been in a Mexican hospital for weeks and they have communicable diseases such as anti-biotic resistant tuberculosis, and those are the type of patients that cross the border."

Mexicans flood into California and Texas. Most increase in U.S. school population in California and Texas.

Schools Overwhelmed
"... the California Council on Science and Technology says that the state's students are woefully unprepared to enter careers in the high-tech industry, and found that the state's education system is one of the worst in the nation." (Bay City News)

And here comes the spin
   The liberal media - the folks who did this to us - will spin this story with every trick in the book. They are already saying the problem is nationwide.
   Other than New York's 911 problems this is nonsense.
   The politicians love immigration - let them pay for it - not the American taxpayer!
