I don't understand how people can't grasp this.

As for them being productive...they're counterproductive to our nation's prosperity when they steal welfare, aid, housing and even medical treatment they're not entitled to. When I was in the E.R. last month (with insurance I pay for) to get my gushing wound sewn up, across the hall were some people cursing in English and mixing in loud Spanish. They were complaining about having to wait to get their stomach aches looked at. The doctor stitching me up said something I really appreciated, she said to me "You have a real, legitimate emergency, we're going to take care of you first. Some people come in here and demand to be taken care of right away for minor things, and they're not even supposed to be here."

It was refreshing to hear but makes the point even more...whether they are nice people and hard workers or not, they're here draining our society and economy while they're breaking the law.
First of all, ER visits are supposed to be handled in order of severity, so you should've been seen first.

Second, it's flat out racist that they were assumed to be illegal simply because they spoke Spanish.
