Uninsured Immigrant Patients Sent Home for Care Against Their Will
ABC News ^ | 5/22/2008 | Marcus Baram

Hundreds of legal and illegal immigrants in Arizona are being sent back to their home countries, sometimes against their will, for medical treatment because they lack insurance. (snip) The forcible removals are the result of federal and state law mandating that only U.S. citizens and legal residents are eligible for Medicaid.

In Mexico if you need hospital care you have to pony up the money ahead of time or they will just let you die.

At least we send them back to their country that is responsible for their care.

“Expect...John McCain lecturing us that these are all God’s children”

“I’ll wait ‘till he says that before I condemn him.”

Here you go: Jan. 1, 2008
“Yet he insists on invoking God in a manner not popular among Republican conservatives. In the same speech, for example, he said that although he favors restrictions on illegal immigrants, they “are still God’s children and they are also human beings.” That’s not acceptable to anti-immigrant conservatives, religious or not. They appear to want nothing less than to put immigrants on trains and ship them south of the border.”

Mom rents apartments. I put up the ads online for her.

Craig's list now has warnings about the ways landlords can be sued for discrimination... country of origin is one and it specifically spells out Hispanic.

Don't even think I can put - current and valid U.S. Drivers' License as one of the criteria for renting now.

Reason for Drivers' License... one person who signed a lease with me last year ... signed said lease with one of her many names... found out the day after she signed that she used a fake name... site online gave ALL of the names she uses in a row... latest ... now know why ALL the names... she is insane... lol

May advise Mom to close up shop except referrals.

I saw this article at DU

Huh. I didn't know that was still around.
Anyway, I hope you took a long hot shower and used Lava soap.

You are required by the Patriot Act to know the identity of all adults you rent to. Valid state ID or passport will work. Depending on what company she uses to process credit reports, she should also be able to verify that the SS# belongs to the person that is claiming it.

I process rental applications through Advantage First Rent with excellent results.

You can turn down Hispanics for the same reasons you would turn down other applicants (poor credit, bad rental references, criminal background, insufficient income, false id, etc.) You just need to use the same guidelines for each and every person.

Borders is divisive. If we didn't have no Borders, then we would all be sitizens of the whirld, and no one wood hate us. If no one hated us, they wouldn't attack us, and we would be safe! That is why I am voting for Mr. Obama.

(My geography prof who tot me this didn't really explain WHY that bookstore makes everyone hate us, but since he tot us that, I only go to Barnes & Noble or Amazon now. No more Borders for me!)

Where I live, there are NO rental properties listed anywhere. You have to know somebody or ask a Realtor. They say “Well, I might know somebody, let me check”. Everybody knows everybody here and judgments are made accordingly.

We have one apartment building and gubmint housing. Other than that, ....nada.
