Interesting idea. But, last year, an issue of the "The Economist" magazine
ran a story which contained something even more interesting: If we were to
somehow stop illegal aliens from working here and sending money to their
families in their native countries, we'd probably have to triple our aid to
those countries.

Basic Concept is great I wonder why no one thought of it before!

Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis has introduced legislation that would require
that hospitals providing emergency care for illegal aliens be reimbursed
with a portion of the foreign aid earmarked for the patient's country. She
says "there's the hope with taking back money from those countries, they
would then put pressure and be stricter on their borders and not allow so

Davis says under current law an illegal alien's hospital bill is paid for
with U.S. healthcare funds. She says that's a "bad policy" and it should
be
paid for with funds designated from the illegal alien's country of origin
where the responsibility lies.
