Health Insurance and Illegal Immigrants: Two Solutions

Health Insurance and Illegal Immigrants: Two Solutions

from Libertarianism, from A to Z by Jeffrey Miron


Should health care reform cover illegal immigrants? For libertarians, that's any easy question:

1. Governments should not provide health insurance for anyone, so it does not have to decide whether to cover illegal immigrants.

2. Governments should not restrict immigration. Then all immigrants would be legal, so even if government provides health insurance, the immigration issue is moot.

You might not agree with either of points 1 or 2, but you have to admit that policymaking is nice and simple in Libertarian Land!

The COWBOY Solution to save Gasoline.

OBAMA wants us to cut the amount of gasoline we use.....

The best way to stop using so much gasoline is to
deport 15 million illegal immigrants!

That would be 15 million less people using our gas.

The price of gas would come down.....

Bring our troops home from Afghanistan to guard the borders.....

When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the Border,
hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo
and ship him to Afghanistan ....

Tell him if he wants to come to AMERICA
then he must serve a tour in OUR military....

Give him a soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it......

After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen
since he defended this country.....

He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal resident.....
This option will probably deter illegal immigration and
provide a solution for the troops in Afghanistan and
the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves. .......

If they refuse to serve, ship them to Afghanistan anyway,
without the canteen, rifle or ammo.

The insistent by Democrats, to provide government funded healthcare to immigrants, is designed to torpedo immigration reform. Dems don't want a solution, they want the issue so they can cast Republicans as evil ba$tards who don't care.

If that happened, Republicans would look like libertarians and never have any hope of winning any election or stopping the spread of communism in the U.S.

Sorry Rick, I'm with you on government healthcare but I know how things would go politically if we said we were going to cancel medicaid and medicare.
