Default Accuracy Please?

I don't see how the stats from PBS bear out the statement that "81%" of those who have no health insurance are foreign born.

It's also time, once again, to remind our anti-immigration friends that there is a vast pool of undocumented workers- who have no interest in becoming American citizens- whoi only want to make money to help feed their families in their native countries. Those countries, due to corruption, poverty or lack of opportunity, pay individuals pennies a day. So $6 bucks an hour for backbreaking work is a gold mine.

Illegal immigration- those who want to live here without following the rules, or the law- is a completely different longer-term problem. It's easier to throw darts at an inflated dartbord.

That doesn't provide a solution to health care costs- but at least stops pundits from lumping in all in one place.
