I think all political bribery is monstrous, but this one is a real Frankenstein!
My State's Governor, Jim Gibbons, is in Mexico right now talking to Mexicans about how Nevada might get $$$ from Mexico for medical treatment of illegal aliens. No kidding! In fact, according to the article I just read, New York is already getting just such a pay off. (See: http://

This is a real slap in the face for all of us who oppose illegal immigration. We want to see the border protected, and illegals sent home. We want to see public services, including health care, denied to illegals in order to discourage them from coming here illegally. Now, my own Governor is seeking to get a pay off from the Mexicans as an incentive to allow the illegals to stay.
"We don't want'em back. You keep'em. Here, we will give you a bribe $$$. Just don't send'em back!"
Gee, thanks Jim. You're a swell guy! Always looking out for our interests this way.
This is one of the worst things I've read about the immigration problem. Assuming Nevada starts getting $$$ from Mexico, just how interested do you think the State politicians and officials will be in running down illegals and having them deported? In fact, won't Nevada accepting $$$ from Mexico "cement the relationship" between Nevada and Mexico, tacitly, if not expressly, approving of the presence of Mexican illegals in the United States? Since the immigrants we are talking about are here illegally, and should be deported according to the law, isn't accepting $$$ from Mexico for their treatment an agreement in furtherance of their unlawful acts?
This is truly outrageous.
