Of course countries need to have a say over who enters and stays in their land.
That was my point all along. So I guess we agree.

I must have missed where health care came into this, Byte, I just want to say "America has the best healthcare system in the world"...uh, no we do not. Not by a long shot. The MOST EXPENSIVE, yes, but not the best.

I'm not sure how Obamacare comes into the immigration question.

Apparently, there have been ads on TV promising Obamacare to illegal aliens. Not seen them myself, tho.

So, this being in the context of Immigration Reform:

I would create a new work visa for all of the illegals currently here, which allows people the right to stay and work indefinitely, on several provisos:

1) We get rid of the anchor baby amendment
2) We make English the official languae of the USA, except as otherwise by treaty
3) We eliminate ALL exceptions to the minimum wage, and index it to inflation
4) Everyone currently holding a "get out of jail free' visa would, from the time of issuance, have up to five years to prove a minimum competency in English or have their card revoked
