Will the illegal immigrants pose an exponentially increasing burden on the US health care system?

Will the illegal immigrants pose an exponentially increasing burden on the US health care system?Since Mexico and the Central American countries are largely Catholic, they mostly do not use condoms. From statistics I've seen on the internet for these countries, I gather that they have a rapidly increasing rate of sexually transmitted disease such as HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis. Don't you think their citizens with these diseases will come, more than ever, to the USA because of the superior and free treatment they can get for their diseases, compared with what they can get at home? Just another motivation for them to come and those who have these illnesses won't even try to apply under any new rules the government may make to help the illegal immigrants get legal status, because they know they won't be able to pass the medical qualifications. Comments?
Knitmama: You are wrong and reading into my comment things that I did not say. You are one of those who are seeking to call anyone against illegal immigrants racist. You are a "reverse racist."

It already has and can only get worse with the number of immigrants coming into US rising rapidly.

uh... our health care system is in the crapper already because it's so expensive that the majority of Americans don't make enough a year ($ 40,000 per household, according to the census) to afford to use it...

It's not because of the immigrants though... have you seen the profits the medical compaines are making (both insurance, medical supply, medication and actual doctors)... if you know someone in the business, they are probably the wealthiest person you know... and how much health insurance has gone up in the past 5 years... it's rediculous...

The illegals are a part of the problem, but only a very small part... point the finger where it should be pointed... greedy CEOs of the healthcare industry...

First of all illegals are not all H.I.V. positive.

The catholic church is older (and wiser than the protestant revolution) so our ideology is one to propogate the species not delegate them to diseases.

The motivation has been here 100 years before James Town (Spanish).

Ask the native americans who the illegals are: 1st the spanish, 2nd the English... Sorry, but your #2.

The English are the prospect of bad weather, While americans have been busy accomodating "other" americans, they have forgotten that have gotten here on the backs of Spanish horses and Ships "Ninya, Pinta, Santa Maria." We do not burn cities in protest because we too are Europeans.
Why build a wall unless a true competitor exists on the other side?... A blood relative to the English and arch rival...? Or maybe the glam of a recent 300 years blinds us to the truth.

Absolutely! They don't get checked for diseases before they slither into the USA and they bring in Tuberculosis, meningitis, HIV/AIDS, and lord knows what else. They have litters of bambinos so they can get more welfare. They have already caused the closing of hundreds of hospitals because they wouldn't pay their bills and when all those filthy diseases start spreading there won't be hospitals enough to care for the people who need the medical care. YEAH, I'd say they pose an exponentially increasing burden on the US health care system (and all other 'systems')

Health professionals have written the following to explain how their hands were tied when forced to treat illegals for minor medical problems in hospital ER's and the impact it made on the hospitals:
