A poll conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC for the American Council for Immigration Reform found that most Americans think that the flood of illegal aliens in this country effect the cost and quality of health care. One thousand likely voters were contacted for this poll. 78% of Americans believe that high immigration levels have had an adverse impact on the quality and cost of our health care system. Republicans (89%) felt more strongly on the issue, but Democrats (69%) were not far behind.

Some of the other findings in the poll were…

• 73% of likely voters agreed that hospitals should be allowed to inquire and collect data about the immigration status of those seeking Emergency Room care without affecting the legal requirement that they must provide emergency care.
• After receiving emergency medical care, if it is determined that an illegal alien will require long term follow-up medical care, 47% believed that the person should be deported to there home country. 38% believed care should be provided, but time and cost limits should be established for eventual deportation.
• 78% of likely voters were opposed to legalizing the status of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. 88% of African-Americans were opposed to legalization.
