“I’ve seen cases and case histories of patients who essentially have come up from Mexico for the express purpose of being treated here, and then leaving to return home,” Dr. Rogers said. “I’ve watched illegal immigrants brazenly demand free, non-emergency health care that was meant for our poorest citizens. I’ve heard them and their families complain. They feel entitled to it.”

However did they come up with that notion.

Take money (and time) away from treating citizens and fire doctors for their opinions. At least the people who get free health care despite being here illegally won't get their feelings hurt by doctors who want to help American citiznes.

As the years went by, however, that egalitarian perspective began to be tinged with cynicism

Egalitarian perspectives tend to end up as discarded lies.
