The New York Times ignores the facts and the costs of illegal immigration.

The New York Times had an editorial called The Medicaid Documentation Mess NYT 3/19/07. Where they complained that since the Deficit Reduction Act passed last year which contained provisions requiring applicants for Medicaid to show proof of their citizenship when they apply for, or seek to renew coverage. The Times points out that since the requirements went into effect at least seven states have reported declines in Medicaid enrollment and traced them to the new requirements. That is good new for middle class U.S. taxpayers who pay the bills for the Medicaid program but, that's not good news for the New York Times. The Times complains that because of the requirements many illegal immigrants may not be applying for Medicaid to pay for the births of their anchor babies. It seems the Times wants to make sure U.S. taxpayers pay as much as possible and pay the bills of those who violate U.S. laws. But, as is usually the case in the mainstream liberal media the Times completely ignores the costs of illegal immigration to hardworking U.S. taxpayers who must pay the costs.
