Despite of these, there is a debate between immigrants and native-born residents whether immigrants should receive health care system. In view of this, the immigration policy centre in 2009 also suggest that increased immigrant participation in the United States’ health care system yields monetary benefits because of immigrants and noncitizens in the health care system, that is more tax dollar would be available to alleviate the financial strain of social security and medicare.
