Do a little research. These socialist democracies have taken in a lot of foreign nationals including muslims fleeing persecution from regimes in their own countries. Have you been reading stories about the Dutch voting to outlaw minarets? How about the French having a little issue with fire bombings of their cars in Paris a couple years ago? We are not the only country that has a large number of immigrants looking for a better life in a richer, industrialized country. No, they aren't sharing a large border with one of these countries, but they are also much smaller countries, and they do provide healthcare and benefits to these people. I am very good friends with a Swedish couple who are often surprised at attitudes in this country, though, they do admit that a homogenous population like Sweden has experienced extensive growing pains from the number of immigrants they've accepted over the past 20 years.
BTW...neither of the plans passed by Congress would cover illegal immigrants. Even now, as Psi U stated, legal or illegal, anyone with or without money can receive care at an ER no questions asked. We are NOT allowed to refuse care. If the patient cannot pay, the tax payers are ALREADY paying for this care.
