We have already seen some of them. I heard many returned a few years ago when Mexico had it's violent crime spike. Why I still can't believe how much some of these union people make per skill or knowledge, the rust belt provides good work ethics with much less violence than many other countries. I think these are the major factors for Canada's industrial success.

That needs to stop as well. And perhaps you missed the line "Besides sending Mexico a bill for the wall we need to send them a bill for the healthcare and educational costs of their citizens illegally in this country."

hate to break it to you, but a huge number of uninsured US citizens/residents are using these services as well. And the number will grow tremendously (back to what it was) if ACA is repealed.

Yes, the cost of healthcare is the problem, and the solution is very simple - public option, to put insurance companies in check, or medicare. So republicans have a great chance to come up with the perfect replacement , but something tells me this chance will be wasted, lol.

Yeah, we heard all that before and Obamacare was supposed to fix it. ER visits never declined. We were told that individual mandate would force healthy people into the insurance pool and would help costs down. Costs skyrocketed. The best and the brightest figured out how to handle pre-existing conditions but insurance companies are still declining pre-existing conditions by leaving the state all together.

They also don't have to cover Canadian workers healthcare. High healthcare costs are a huge detriment to doing business in the U.S., where employers are expected to insure their employees.

The ego must be satisfied!
