Exclamation US Border

As a resident of a western US state that borders on Mexico, my state is overwhelmed by the growing cost of health care for Mexican citizens who enter our country illegally for health care. States are mandated by our federal government to pay health care costs for non-US citizens who go to hospital emergency rooms - but the fed gov't doesn't reimburse the states for these costs. It is an economic burden locally and shameful that Mexico doesn't take care of its own citizens.
