Illegal immigrants are human beings! Before all! They love and they hate and they deserve to be treated as human beings.

So, yes, they should be entitled to health service and probably some social help for readjustment.
It's easy enough to shout against immigrants in your comfy home.
But what gives you that right? What did you do to earn the right to live in a normal country and to enjoy its goods? Yep, you just got lucky to be born in it. Nothing more.

And what did they do? They risked everything to come to your country, left their family and known reality to seek for a better world. What would you do if you were in their place? How would you feel if you did everything humanly possible to seek better existence and you met only ignorance and despise. That's monstrous!

Health service is something every, and I repeat EVERY, human being should be provided with. It's a mark for the development of the civilization to help the people that are weak and in need. We're not born equal. Some of us get everything the easy way and some have to fight for it. Many of these immigrant are great persons that have the right to be happy. They don't come to take your jobs, they come to find a job. They don't come to destroy your life, they come to find a life. Don't judge them from the position of your current position in life. Judge them from the position of someone from the other side. The child that awaits his/her parent to send money home or to take him/her to a better place. The person who suffered many humiliations to gain access to the free world. To the place where he/she can work and earn enough to live well.

It's easy to hate, but should you? Should you blame immigrants for everything you couldn't do because you weren't competent enough? Yes, they want less money than you. Whose fault is that? Theirs or of the employers? If the government took care to make the borders secure, it could grant normal citizen rights to the people that managed to cross them and everybody would have fair salary.

Hating is easy! The hard thing is to be constructive, to find the way to make things better for everyone. But then, that's what makes us humans.
