We as a society want to pay health aides $10/hour.

That doesn’t mean that people from the tropics don’t carry tropical diseases.

The state requires treatment for them, continually reduces the reimbursement to the facilities, and the facilities close; these illegals don’t intend to pay for ANYTHING.

To add insult to injury large hospitals then write off the loses - meaning they often pay ZERO in taxes. Everyone is hurt except the illegals... all the sacrificing and pain is done so poorly educated 'fence jumpers' can live here long enough be become democrats and vote in socialism or thugocracies run by 'elites' ... the same crap that ruined their home countries.

I don’t know how many hospitals pay taxes; here in NJ there is a stink because some hospitals are being forced to pay property taxes for the first time (or make “payments in lieu of taxes”). This is a high-tax state, and this decision will close even more of them.

You don’t even have to read the article to know exactly what it will attempt. I suppose there are still some who don’t know the agenda of the Goebbelsmedia.

"The exceptions are hepatitis, tuberculosis and HIV. But the study also found these infections are generally only spread within the affected immigrant communities and not to the wider population."

Thank you for pointing that out, I caught that, too.

Liberals REALLY need to keep their lies straight.

So liberals are saying that HIV is really a disease limited to certain populations... (cough) "not only gays get HIV, EVERYONE is at risk" (cough)

TB is a PUBLIC problem.

A person with active TB is not allowed to "roam freely" amongst their own kind.

They are not allowed to "roam" anywhere.

They must be *isolated* in a negative pressure hospital room.

Even third world doctors know this.

Just how stupid do they think we are?

Your sarcasm tag should be removed completely. This is a completely valid argument you are making, based on the preposterous claim that immigrants are CONTRIBUTORS based on the fact they are essentially low cost (slave?) labor in the HC industries of developed countries.

By all means, it is elitist for us to be hiring away the bedrock of their health care infrastructure. Those countries should be levying a tariff for every immigrant we hire into the HC industry.

Don't hold your breath.

It's why I call them "LIEberals."

Lost Angeles is a case on point. Chagas was unknown there in 1970. Now there are multiple clinics for it.

Not to mention that getting a nursing/medical license with nothing but a foreign education is just so easy....

I’m not sure really...One immigrant engineer I knew had a 4 year degree from India but when he went to get licensed (Engineer in Training) they said his degree was worth only 90 credits. He would have had to take 2 or 3 semesters of senior level engineering at an American college.

I lost touch with him so I’m not sure how it turned out.
