Socialized medicine is a failure everywhere it's been tried

Really? Did they do a nice job at least in Tijuana? Did you / do you live near the border? I'm not that surprised that folks who live in California would go to Mexico. I was pretty surprised that retirees from Georgia go there but according to Fox News / my grandma it's a fraction of the cost. Some folks feel like they've got no other options.

I didn't think Mexico was cheaper on account of socialism, my point is that folks in the US are so desperate on account of the high costs of medical / dental care they go to Mexico for it. I'm wondering what Cruz's plan to fix the US healthcare system is.

They also go to Mexico for their life saving medications such as insulin.

A loaded gun isn't going to increase tax revenue though.

It doesn’t need to. It just needs to keep out (or weed out) the miscreants.

Personally, I would rather have more tax revenue and greater opportunity for better healthcare for everyone rather than trying (and likely failing) to drive people away at all costs, even to the point of pulling a loaded gun on them simply for wanting what they believe to be a better life. Why not win win vs. win lose? Or even more likely lose lose?
