Step One: End all medical services ,b>except for emergency lifesaving care for anyone not a legal US resident unless they can pay for it in cash or are insured.

Down here in San Diego, the Mexican radio stations advise the illegals that if they can't afford to pay for treatment for some non emergency like the flu then simply call 9-11. An ambulence is dispatched and they transport to the nearest hospital. Once called for service, the paramedics HAVE to treat. None of these services is paid for their service. Our hospitals are closing because of treating for "emergencies" only. The amublence services either go under and/or are not available for real emergencies for our own citizens.

That is one of the difficult things about just "shutting down" medical services...

When an ambulance is called, those paramedics don't have the mindset, nor should they, to be INS agents and ask for proof of citizenship before treating someone.

Unless there was a law that would let the hospital people call the authorities, if they have no proof, after they get THERE, the people will still get treated.

Our country just does NOT refuse medical help to people, regardless of legal status.

Perhaps, though, like empowering the local police departments to arrest illegals, they should empower hospitals and clinics to at least call ICE..and maybe even the paramedics if they just treat someone, but don't transport to a hospital.
