Cook County, ILLINOIS: County health chief; Fly illegals back home

Chicago Sun-Times

CHICAGO Illinois -- Dr. Robert Simon, chief of Cook County health services, says the county should fly illegal immigrants living at Oak Forest Hospital back to the countries they came from.

"We're giving luxury service in a setting like a park," Simon said in an interview Friday, referring to the acres of grass and trees on the sprawling campus. "We've got undocumented aliens that are living there like that."

Simon was disputing that the county plans to evict about 220 patients by Sept. 1 -- as the patients were told Friday. But he defended his opinion that most of them should be living elsewhere, instead of at the county's expense.
