Over at American Thinker, they are pointing out where America is first -- when it comes to responsibility for caring for the sick of other nations, including those whose presence here is a mockery of American law.

Fifty-one people -- nearly all illegal immigrants -- are facing a "life-or-death limbo" after a cash-strapped Atlanta charity hospital decided it must stop providing them free kidney dialysis treatments that were costing the hospital (or rather taxpayers) $50,000 per year.

That's according to a heart-rending article in Saturday's New York Times about the “excruciating choices” faced by Atlanta's Grady hospital upon closing its outpatient dialysis unit. Over the years, the unit has been overrun by illegal immigrants, and it has thus become a major financial drain on the “taxpayer-supported safety-net hospital,” the Times explained in its lengthy article: "The Breaking Point: Hospital Falters as Refuge for Illegal Immigrants."

Who is to blame for this heart breaking situation?

Not surprisingly, the Times blames America's heartless polices on health care and immigration. Or as the paper explains, the moral dilemma Grady has faced is “a stark reflection of what happens when the country’s inadequate health care system confronts its defective immigration policy.”

But writer David Paulin notes that it is very interesting to see who the folks at the former paper of record do not hold accountable for the care for these illegal aliens, most of whom are presumably Mexican (an assumption based strictly upon the proportion of Mexican border jumpers in the immigration criminal community). The Government of Mexico (which rakes in a great deal of cash from its state-run oil industry) and the richest citizens of Mexico (like Carlos Slim, the third richest man in the world with $35 billion in personal assets) apparently do not have any responsibility for the health care of Mexicans -- and indeed, these people would be most unlikely to get dialysis in Mexico. Of course, that could have something to do with the fact that Slim, a crony of every Mexican leader for decades, is a large shareholder in the New York Times, so it would not be proper to suggest the confiscation of a portion of HIS wealth to pay for the medical care of impoverished Mexicans (especially since Slim took a $25 billion dollar financial hit when the markets crashed last year -- how is he managing to get by on only 60% of his pre-crash assets?).

No, it is we Americans and our government who somehow are supposed to be providing medical care to those who kick open our nation's door and waltz in to a country where they are neither wanted nor welcome because of their criminal disregard for our nation's immigration laws.
