SACRAMENTO, CA – With a $55 million budget deficit staring them in the face, the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors began slicing away health care programs Wednesday.
The largest item on the chopping block was the estimated $2.4 million annual cost of providing non-urgent health care to illegal immigrants.
“There are no good choices at this point. Everything (that is cut) is going to hurt someone,” said Sacramento County 4th District Supervisor Roberta MacGlashan.
She is one of three supervisors who voted in favor of cutting health care for undocumented immigrants with two voted against.
“No one wants to make these cuts,” MacGlashan said. “They’re very painful.”
She said the cut on health services for illegal immigrants will go into effect shortly. It will need to be supplemented by a program to identify who, among those entering public health care clinics, is a legal citizen eligible for services. That program is expected to cost $500,000 a year. The ACLU opposes the measure, saying it is unconstitutional and a “bad policy.”
The Bloodletting Begins
Every once in awhile I come across a piece of information that I have to confirm through as many sources as possible. The topic of this post is such an event. Moreover, I am shocked to discover that this potentially history-making event is occurring in my very own back yard, Sacramento County, where I work.
From ABC New 10 in Sacramento:
Take a look at some of the photos. These are the illegal invaders who want their own Free Cheese and then further advocate Reconquista. They don’t respect our flag. They don’t respect our language. They don’t respect our culture and, most importantly, they don’t respect our laws.
There is NO Constitutional guarantee, state or federal, that ensures NON-CITIZENS are DUE any “entitlements” whatsover.
I can tell you with great certainty, however, that a large number of local and state governments will be examining this issue with much scrutiny. If it turns out that, after the dust and suits have settled, Sacramento County divests itself of these parasites, many other jurisdictions will follow this pattern.
As well they should.
Follow the trend, Illegal Invaders. Go back to your own damned country.

I saw a blurb this morning, whilst perusing various blogs, that Sonora is complaining to Arizona (in Spanish, of course) about the high number of hometown citizens that are returning to Sonora without jobs, or money, and are a drain on the local resources.
Waahh.
I’ll see their AK-47 and raise them a Thompson and M1 Garand.
They want a civil war?
Well, with the way NORTHCOM is acting, they are about to get it. I do wonder what COIN will look like in the desert SW… because doing anything else would start to erode D party support the old-fashioned Chicago way: one burial at a time. A lot of those dead still vote, but fresh on tv and pictures on the ‘net will tell a different story… even fascists know they have to protect their country or be killed by it.
Well, the smart ones do. The dumb ones get a plot and six feet of earth over their heads.
THERE IS MORE. You may have already posted on this, but I missed it if you did.
Anyway, I had a commenter on my blog send me this information. You may want to check this out, but he’s pretty accurate when he sends me stuff:
Are you ready for the House Bill titled ‘HR 45, Blair Holt Licensing and Record Act of202009’. It will make it illegal to own a firearm unless it is registered with the database in Washington D.C. As a gun owner you will have to be finger printed, you will be required to provide your DL#, SS#, you must maintain a valid address at all times, submit to mental and physical health records being put on file, you will also be required to file any address changes and any ownership changes even if a private sale. Each update will cost $25 and if you fail to comply you will lose your right to own firearms.
This bill and its language mirror almost completely one defeated last year in the House of Representatives by soon to be Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
This is How it Works
Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House in D.C.; one from Kentucky , another from Tennessee and the third, from Georgia . They go with a White House official to examine the fence.
The Georgia contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. Well, he says, I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me.
The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, and then says I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me.
The Kentucky contractor doesn’t measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, “$2,700”.
The official, incredulous, whispers back, “You didn’t even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?”
The Kentucky contractor whispers back, “$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence.”
“Done!” replies the official.
And that, my friends, is how our government works!
Cary: that’s VERY interesting. I’ll have to check that out to examine the whining.
AJ: “a lot of those dead still vote.” Boy is THAT true.
Rivka: I will DEFINITELY have to check that out. Rahm Emanual is already ON VIDEO stating that he would like to remove handguns from the hands of citizens!
Ranando: sooooooooo true, sadly.

The bill Rivka is talking about GRANDFATHERS registration too. So if you currently own an unrgistered gun you will have to register it.
BZ – I caught site of it (promptly forgot, and spent a good half hour just now tracking down where I saw it) over on Basti Says. It’s in a Daily Tidbit that didn’t get titled, so I can’t give you an exact address; it’s dated 2/16/09 and starts out with a moonwalker’s denying Global Warming – you’ll have to scroll down to just below the New And Improved Obama Bill, it’s titled “Mexico is angry – you gotta read this”.
Good reading, and fitting, even if it’s a little squishy on hard facts.
I have a surprise for La Raza, Texas ain’t on the map assholes…
When they drew that Aztlan map the dumbasses forgot about the Alamo and all those racist redneck cowboys with LOTS of guns, ammo and a very intense hatred of ALL the wetbacks that are here and any yet to come…
Yeah, RACISTS, that us, all of us that are willing to stand and fight, and KILL the son a bitches that are invading, over-running and bankrupting America, isn’t that right Donnie?? We ALL know how you bleed purple piss for all things liberal. Isn’t it correct?? We’re rednecks and butchers?? Tel us again, while Cali is still free and you can still broadcast…
BZ, you, and all the decent folks in Cali, all 35 or 40 of you, ya don’t stand a chance man, the the hell out while you can…
TF
Quite few few of the LEGAL mexican decent people here in San Antonio are pissed at the illegals too, some arent thinking “they are us”
“No one wants to make these cuts,”
Er, i’m not an American, but may i raise my hand and say, i’m happy for the American tax payer to stop funding illegals by force.
What’s not surprising is that they’re cutting the services but that the services were available in the first place.
MKS: PRECISELY!
BZ
WMD, no doubt in my mind, I know many LEGAL immigrants, many are of Hispanic heritage, but they are now AMERICANS and they love this nation, and they HATE the wetbacks…
My rant was more or less directed at Donnie Dickless and his crybaby bullshit about my calls for serious and DEADLY enforcement of our sovereign borders…
Dickless is a Libber in Disguise and tries to subvert as much REAL Conservatism as possible, he’s a bleeding heart WUSS that goes with the notion of “Well, they’re only trying to make a better life for themselves”.
And ya know, to a point, I agree with that egotistical asshat, they are trying to make a better life, but if they can’t or won’t do it legally, fuck em, fuck em ALL!!
California is on the verge of going under, they are being over-run, I wonder what the libbers and faux Conservatives are going to do the La Raza begins their violent revolution?? And they are not far from open revolution right now.
I hope the son of a bitch comes to Dallas myself… 🙂
