More money the taxpayers have to pay for these illegals to go to the hospital. If you REALLY think that the owners of the construction company will pay these medical bills, then you are sadly mistaken! This is why these companies should HAVE TO hire LICENSED LEGAL CITIZENS to do the work. But these construction companies are too cheap to hire legal people so all of these construction sites have multiple unsafe working conditions and when something happens to these illegals, they cant sue but they can surely go to the hospital and get emergency medicaid to cover their bills! Such bullshit! And these stupid politicians can care less!

There's no mention of them being illegal. How did you come to that conclusion?

"There's no mention of them being illegal. How did you come to that conclusion?"... Perhaps because he could not speak English? Duh.

Ok, I'm not in the construction trade but who was supervising that site? Who told them that it was safe to put all of the heavy ass materials on the roof?

Well no doubt some incompetent dolt at the DOB gave the owner of this building a permit to build another level in order to break up the continuity of the other houses on the block. Just another day of over-development mishaps in the borough.

That doesn't mean someone is here illegally.
There are many Sikh people here legally.

Send him back home, he obviously isn't happy in the USA. Make him pay his own medical bills. I no longer have any sympathy for the invading illegal aliens.

He's not illegal.

How about we make all the obese people around Queens pay more for insurance so the rest of us don't have too? I know, I know, "it's genetics".....
