re: #52 sattv4u2

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

And I clearly indicated that treatment would not be denied. You do bring up a good point that they could be reluctant to go for treatment, but as stated above, there are too many “easy” avenues that attract illegals here in the 1st place

IF they knew that potential employers would shy away from hiring them or face jail time, IF they knew they couldn’t get a license or other services, IF they knew that going to a med facility may lead to incarceration, it MAY slow the flow into the country

That whole Risk/Reward scale

There’s no guarantee that it would slow the flow of illegals into the country.

If someone is coughing up bloody sputum, I’d rather they didn’t have to think twice about going to the ER and decide to get on the subway.
