| Posted over 4 years ago If there crime is serious enough to warrent them in jail, then i say they should have the same access to health care as any other inmate.If they have a chronic condition that requuires meds, treatments etc, then that needs to be addressed.I do not feel it would be in the best imterest of the country to pay for an illegal aliens healthcare.I do not really know how the prison health care system works. Do they have to pay back the state or country for the charges or services?I do not feel that it is fair that any of them get free medical care. |

| Posted over 4 years ago Hello!
I do not know the whole story but for me regardless of his status any human should be treated as a human. I know we as immigrants have violated the law but we still have rights and responsibilities. I do not believe he should sue anybody but I am pretty sure that was not his idea but his lawyer's idea. United States idea that you can sue almost everybody for almost everything and the law that permits that. Lawyers are the instigators of that. You all have a great country with a great constitution. I am a citizen now but I still consider myself an immigrant. Believe I have contributed to this country and I am proud for being part of this country. Try to look outside the box and try to put yourself in their situation. This person violated the law twice and should be punish for it. No he should not sue anybody. |

| Posted over 4 years ago The point of this article is they did not receive care, were denied care, or had way below par care. Absolutely they have the right to sue. ICE screwed up big time and need to be held accountable. |
