re: #35 sattv4u2

C) same applies to visits to an emergency room. I’m not advocating NOT treating someone who needs medical attention, but if they are illegal aleins they should be detained at that point

I’d be concerned about the effect this might have on public health.

With an outbreak of a contagious illness, you want the people affected early to be treated as quickly as possible. Considering that quite a few illegals live in close quarters, the risk of an epidemic is higher. If they’re afraid of going to the ER for treatment, you might wind up with a worse outbreak than you otherwise would have had.

Illness never asks about green cards or citizenship. I don’t think treatment should either.
