The Clinic of the Working Poor

[madcatzy]

people like this just love to steal your job for 3.15$ an hour XD

Why isn't this clinic multiracial? Why are there only one type of people. Are theses people legal?

[jordiortegatv]

It is multiracial, although mainly people from various Latin-American countries (especially the Salvadorian community, the most prevalent in the Pico Union area of Downtown L.A.) are their patrons. Anyone can go. Legal documents are not a requirement. Income is. Thanks for writing KMCl11, jordi

So, you see? We are responsible under the table. But we are responsible. And I didn´t insult you even once. It´s called constructive critizism. Or dialogue. You would probably do the same than those ´aliens´ that you demonize if you were in their same situation. Plus, as I told you, this economy needs them and that´s why our administration lets them in. Don´t be a fool.

And then I suggest you to read this history comic-book `la interminable conquista de mexico´(the neverending Mexican conquest), by Rius (Grijalbo), where you will learn that the country is today ruled mostly by foreign capital (US and England) that treats that soverign country as a colony or like Puerto Rico, while keeping an oligarquy in power that keeps most of the population squeezed into poverty.

I just came back from a trip to Mexico, avoiding the US-infested spots and going to the real thing. I recommend you do the same. Go to the History Museum in Ciudad de Mexico at the Chapultepec castle where you will learn, just as I did, the history of abuses that the country has gone through: the Spaniards, the French, the US...

The Mexican't govt. is crooked, the cops are thieves and murders, you want to make a difference do it with your own money! You wouldn't last a week or two at the most. Illegal is that, Illegal. You should be thrown in jail for spending tax payers monies on illegals! THe Cali, local govt. and indigent care facilities fired a doctor because he saw Americans being left out while monies earmarked for the American indigents was being sliced out for the ILLEGALS! That IS A FELONY! WAKE UP!

[jordiortegatv]

Wow, dude what an exercice of elegant politesse! It´s amazing to me how many comments I have obtained from people like you who just don´t know how to engage in a dialogue politely and just fire up insults. Anyway...

[batodabone]

DO not confuse the fact of Iraq and these poor bastards that could not make it in their own great country, they found out through dumbasses like you that there is a free handout, come on over and "we" will care for you. Look "WE" is not my taxes but your assumptions are that the funds are theirs if they can get here. Take your happy ass over to the great country of Mexico and make a difference if you dare. Take you monies that you have earned, spend it on those people over there.

[batodabone]

You are one of the reasons the medical care here in the USA is Expensive! That is why there are borders! They the ILLEGALS do not deserve the hard paied taxes that the American put into the system. Much of which is apprporeted illegally by the liberal senators, congressmen and women, local authorites and the state authories forced by the federal politicians. Medical cost would be less if we were not despensing it to people that are here illegally, what part of that do you not understand?

[batodabone]

You liberal panzy. They are here illegally, what part of that do you not understand! The taxes were that are paid for are and should be for the citizens of the USA. If things are so bad then why don't you go there to Mexico and try to make a difference there, see what you get!

Dear Batodabone, thank you for watching my video and for writing.

You are very ignorant, though. Let me illustrate you a bit, if I may. First of all, healthcare in America is vastly expensive for everybody: me, you and the undocumented people among us. Secondly, it´s not Presendente but presidente (=president).

[batodabone]

I think the girl in the end said it all "it's vastly expensive". Send them back to their own country and let the El Presendente take care of his people! Let their country pay for the medical freeloaders. AND YES, medical care is not A RIGHT or AN ENTITLEMENT!

[jordiortegatv]

Thirdly, that´s why we pay taxes, to finance the healthcare needs of people who can´t pay private insurance. That´s how we voted for our economy to work. If you don´t like it, don´t criticize the system, try to change it. And finally, and most importantly, you should get more educated on macroeconomics. This country needs laborers and we keep them undocumented as a strategy to pay them low wedges.

[jordiortegatv]

. We need them for the extremely low nativity per capita we have. And that´s why they are let into the country. Minutemen, rhetoric about immigration keeping a grip at the border... it´s all a cheap public relations and a fallacy. The real economic scandal for the US is the cost of the invasion of Iraq, which has already surpassed the 400 billion dollars

[jordiortegatv]

. I recommend you not to speak from the gut but from the brain. Learn the facts. It takes time and willingness to learn the truth, but anyone can. Jord
