""[snip]"The cost of serving such high numbers of uninsured is driving the crisis in the county's public health care system. LAC DHS serves 800,000 people each year, most of them uninsured and many undocumented immigrants.[snip]""

""[snipYou do the math...almost 10,000 emergency room visits a day!!!!!    ('LAC' is L.A. County, ie. 'system wide')

We simply can't afford this!!...as I've said in an earlier post.[snip]""

That's a hell of a stretch, even for a truth twister like GfS, so let's break it down and see what it actually says about the impact of illegal immigrants.

1. ""LAC DHS serves 800,000 people each year, most of them uninsured and many undocumented immigrants.""

Does anybody see where this is going?

GfS wants to make a case against healthcare provision for immigrants. The case requires that immigrants have a provable detrimental effect on the provision of said care, so we put together two figures and extrapolate from them.

The figures chosen are as follows:-

800,000, most of them uninsured. Fair comment, since the USA contains 47 million uninsured Americans. One might expect that California would have its share.

Many undocumented immigrants. How many? Well we don't know, but because we want it to be a lot, we'll work on the assumption that it is.

"HEY! How about that, we've proved that it's all down to illegal immigration, and we can't afford it, so let's just ditch the whole idea.

Then they'll all die or get better, who cares. Either way, problem solved.

And this from somebody who claims to be a qualified counsellor.

GOD HELP THE USA!
