So here’s a repugnant move by right-wing assholes. Taxans: you can counter that shit. If a hospital asks you whether you are in the country legally, instead of saying “yes” the right answer is “I decline to answer”. Don’t give the dicks their stats.

    Makes sense. You don’t want to give illegal immigrants any incentive to come here.

      In fact, borderline human rights compromise is actually a good incentive for people to leave. Would perhaps be good for the country if those in Texas who respect human rights would move from Texas to Pennsylvania for a human rights upgrade (where also the death penalty was repealed).

      But I doubt your statement is accurate considering inbound refugees are fleeing from even worse conditions w.r.t. human rights. Refugees still technically have their human right to access emergency medical treatment, they just risk getting harassed and tagged for deportation.

        Yeah, maybe we can send a few dozen to Martha’s Vineyard again, or start another emergency in New York! It was funny how few it took the last time. It’s not like lefties understand how bad illegals are until they actually have to deal with the consequences
