You can also show me news articles saying Elvis is alive and running a poker game with Tupac in the back room of a 7-11 in a small town in Idaho and the whole thing is bankrolled by the guys who really faked the moon landings and the space shuttle launches and landings, but I won't necessarily say, "Deal me in!"

This stream of bankruptcy destined hospitals losing billions of dollars a year - no wait, let's make it billions of dollars a day - because of all the wetbacks dropping their anchor babies and getting free heart, lung, and liver transplants, I mean maybe it is real but CNS News and FAIR seem to be the only people who know about it. Maybe the people at CNS and FAIR are on the receiving end of all that cocaine you are worried about. You know the old saying, "Cocaine is a helluva drug!" It would explain reporting "news" and numbers that don't jibe with reality.

cis.org (which is fairly neutral biased) states that there was $4.3 billion dollars unpaid just from Emergency Room and Free Clinic visits by undocumented aliens in 2011, this number does not include in-patient health care which is also very expensive because 1 person can rack up some serious bills.

So even if that final number is between 4.3 billion and 10.7 billion, that's a big number and still doesn't cover the costs of schooling the kids.
