The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Out of curiosity, what services would you approve of?

I would approve of any medical attention needed. I'm pointing out the utter chaos where it is probably impossible in some (many?) cases to give the proper care needed. I'm sure there are success stories due to the heroic efforts of the overworked hospital staff.

Don't know if you read the article in full, there are some things worth noting..

'This is placing a huge strain on the city's hospitals and sucking up resources that legal residents still require. (NBC News)'

'New York is a big city with multiple hospitals and a sizable public medical system, but those facilities were already busy enough taking care of the legal population of residents. You can't simply dump another 30,000 patients into the mix without causing serious issues.'

And then there is this..
'Those clinics are also overwhelmed, with many of the migrants reportedly being treated on an emergency basis while residents sit through long waiting periods for an appointment.'

You can't tell me many New Yorkers are not fed up with the illegal aliens situation. It has already started from the top with Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Adems protesting and all the way down the tax paying NY residents. Protesters have been on national TV. So it is a fact.
