The US is already struggling financially. Holding the Federal Government financially responsible for non-American citizens would only further this struggle and make life harder for tax paying Americans.

 @B6K5LWK from Texas  disagreed…10mos10MO

You realize in the constitution it states "people" not citzens, the right to healthcare etc. Immigrants also pay taxes, and they do most construction jobs etc.

 @9F7R4MM from New Jersey  agreed…3yrs3Y

If you are illegal, you shouldn't get rights in the U.S. , If you are legal you be able to get things that other Americans do. Not for free.

 @B6LCCH6 from Ohio  agreed…10mos10MO

Yes, illegal immigrants were roaming free under the Biden administration, and he gave them rights, now under president Trump, I think those illegal immigrants should not have constitutional rights, cause they are using them, especially the second amendment to kill and destroy lives, American lives, our forefathers fought for our nation to be free, not for these illegal immigrants to steal our freedom

 @9FRKDWF from Delaware  disagreed…3yrs3Y

They are humans, they're people. Healthcare is a human right that should be given to everyone in any country in the world.

 @9JJQZNS from Wisconsin  commented…2yrs2Y

Not when you're illegally in the country. There is a process that you have to go through to become a legal immigrant, and just because it may be long or hard doesn't really change the fact of illegal immigration being wrong. They aren't entitled to come here and if they do they need to be here legally.

 @Paculino from North Carolina  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Informed Immigration Healthcare

What is unethical about freedom of movement to justify such laws? Movement to other polities is important to democracy; it allows voting with your feet. People are people, regardless of the legality or even the morality of past or present actions. The legality of presence does not mean someone suddenly becomes a p-zombie.

 @9S8MS8CRepublican from Georgia  commented…2yrs2Y

healthcare is not a right and it shouldnt be

 @Paculino from North Carolina  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Informed Immigration Healthcare

Why not? It is easily derived from the golden rule, and if that is not the basis of ethics, then what possibly could be? Why is kindness revolutionary?

 @B5752SN from North Carolina  commented…1yr1Y

stfu they're illegal bc they are bruh keep them on the other side.

 @B78FTZNWomen’s Equality  from California  disagreed…9mos9MO

I can tell you weren't raise right and you should treat everyone EQUALITY

@B82K27J from Michigan  reported…8mos8MO

stfu

The message is offensive because it uses unnecessary/inappropriate slang to make its point.

 @9FP227H  from California  disagreed…3yrs3Y

I believe many immigrants struggle without the help of their health. Therefore, creating an Immigration Healthcare program won't just make them more comfortable to seek health but also create a federal tax on immigrants just like any other human.

 @9JJQZNS  from Wisconsin  commented…2yrs2Y

Illegal=a crime. It is a crime to come over the border ILLEGALLY. There is a process to come over legally, and although it may be a long process that's just how it is. They aren't entitled to coming to our country. They have no rights as an illegal immigrant and they shouldn't even be here let alone deserve health care. ILLEGAL immigrants should be deported.

 @foshy from Utah  disagreed…1yr1Y

It is "ILLEGAL" to rolling stop a stop sign, or to jay walk. Therefore you are a criminal and should also not be allowed in the US. Unless you are suggesting the punishment should fit the crime? Then why should families crossing the border to get away from a bad future for their children be punished for crossing an imaginary line by being concentrated in camps through force and sent in binds through military vehicles back to their nation they came from. I don't care about either of our political views for this, its dehumanizing. Are you suggesting a dehumanizing punishment fits…  Read more

 @B3C6XFY from Georgia  disagreed…1yr1Y

All Illegal person doesn't equal of a crime. Some Illegal people are just looking for a place to live and start a better life.

 @B78FTZNWomen’s Equality  from California  commented…9mos9MO

I highly disagree with you, they shouldn't be deported just because there are many immigrant families that want a better life for their child, And as a daughter who have immigrants parents you don't know how hard life is when they were in my age, And no it not a crime the act of being an undocumented immigrant is a civil office, not a criminal one. Without them helping the farm the fields and everything will turn worse and I bet the Americans wouldn't last a day to handle it. Matter in fact we SHOULD TREAT EVERYONE RIGHT AND EQUALITY, because this land and the whole earth that our god creates is to share and not treat everyone differently just because of their race, but I could tell you weren't raise right.

 @9FP4K7R from Washington  agreed…3yrs3Y

I definitely agree that Healthcare needs to be more accessible to immigrants but to be more specific I believe that there should be a single payer Healthcare system funded by the government, and that anyone who pays taxes (or anyone in an emergency situation) should be covered by it which would include immigrants.

 @9FP3XM9 from New York  disagreed…3yrs3Y

The United States is not responsible to care for those who came here illegally as they are not part of the citizenry that the government was made to serve.

 @9F7WFTG  from Florida  agreed…3yrs3Y

When our country was in dire need of baby formula there were warehouses full of baby products specifically set for illegal immigrants. So, as our own future generations died without the ability to get help, unknown outsiders got helped. Instead of keeping ourselves strong and able to help, we gave our own meals up to others. We did not stand for the British to take our food right out of our hands, why should we allow that now?

 @9F98X3CSocialist from Pennsylvania  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Maybe the real question to ask is why was there a shortage on baby formula. If something is able to be profited off of, companies will do it. Plus, the British were an opposing group that had power over us, and immigrants do not have power over us--they are disadvantaged. You are angry at a group of people for taking $1 from you when you have $10 and not at the man who is hoarding $1000.

 @9F9825SPeace and Freedomdisagreed…3yrs3Y

The people who have immigrated here were not the ones who took the food from you. Get to the source of the shortage and solve that before you actually take food from other children's mouths.

 @9FN25QH from California  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Immigrants should have access to healthcare because they do much more then any others that were born here and who have many opportunities but choose not to excel. They take on the hard jobs and still continue to push more until they can't.

 @9F8WFTHfrom Maine  disagreed…3yrs3Y

You can’t choose where you were born, and everyone should have a fair chance to live, immigration healthcare should only allowed if the the persons being treated agrees to repay in whatever form after a successful treatment.

 @9FLQ8KV from Nevada  agreed…3yrs3Y

Illegal immigrants are illegal, we cannot give them healthcare because they are not citizens of the USA. The USA should only provide healthcare to its citizens.

 @9FJBRVHdisagreed…3yrs3Y

they should get equal healthcare because they are the backbone of are economy (doing jobs that white think they are to good to do)

 @9S8MS8CRepublican from Georgia  commented…2yrs2Y

why should i pay for their healthcare when they came illegally they broke the law hell no get out

 @9F7Y426 from Texas  agreed…3yrs3Y

If they pass this, the people who live in this country,who pay the taxes for this country, will be paying MUCH more money in taxes just for these people to have health care, why should we be paying for someone we don't even know?

 @9FRRV7W from New York  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Many immigrants make little money due to working in places that gives them low wages, so they should get free healthcare for them.

 @9FRN284from Maine  disagreed…3yrs3Y

People that immigrant here only want a better life for themselves. If those people arne't any trouble to others or the government then they should be allowed to live with government support.

 @9S8MS8CRepublican  from Georgia  commented…2yrs2Y

no they should not be given stuff they broke the law hell if it was any other country they would be shot on site you can't break the law and expect to be given something that f up for the people that came here legally and a lot of times illegal immigrants make legal ones look bad for example my dad cam here for Venezuela lawfully and a lot of illegal Venezuelans are coming here and committing horrendous crimes like R, Murder, and kidnapping and he is afraid of telling people that he is Venezuelan because of the illegals like how is it okay for him and many of people that came legally and did what they need to do to come here to be afraid of saying where they came from because people want to come illegally so people that come illegally is just hurting legal immigrants

 @9FQHWXRWomen’s Equality from Oklahoma  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Immigrants should have access to healthcare because they do much more than any others who were born here and who have many opportunities. They take on the hard jobs and still continue to push more until they can't.

 @B3C6XFY from Georgia  disagreed…1yr1Y

I think you are wrong because all people should be equal no matter the cause. If an immigrant needs help because they are sick then I think they should get the help by Americans.

 @9FRFG4Qdisagreed…3yrs3Y

everyone should have be equal the same, just cause there immigrants don't mean anything we all are the same. so yes there should be healthcare for immigrants.

 @B85YQ7P from Ohio  agreed…8mos8MO

Estimates put the cost of treating uninsured undocumented immigrants at about $4.3 billion annually in the U.S. in an analysis from Healthcare Finance. A media report claimed that in Florida in 2024, care for self-reported undocumented immigrants accounted for $659.9 million, which is about 0.76% of that state’s total healthcare costs. In Texas, hospitals reported about $121 million spent in a single month caring for patients without legal status. Our government debt issue is not going to get solved if we keep throwing money at federal level criminals. In fact, it is a felony to reenter the country after being deported so it's ironic that people are against having a felon as president when they support giving away tax dollars to other felons... And then whining about not having enough money.

 @9FRJ6NK from New York  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Immigrants are people and should be treated as such, the access to healthcare should be a human right.

 @9FRDXXFdisagreed…3yrs3Y

it the healthcare not cover all immigrants and some of immigrant can die of be sick and they don't have healthcare.

 @9FR5WF5 from New York  disagreed…3yrs3Y

I think immigrants should receive the benefits of healthcare. If they're paying for it then what factors in for them not receiving it.

 @9FT2RYW from Texas  disagreed…3yrs3Y

because they have more limited access to private coverage because they work in jobs that are less likely to provide health benefits.

 @9FS9HZZ from Nevada  disagreed…3yrs3Y

My best counter argument to the NO position on Immigration Healthcare is that we should not pit Immigration and health care needs against one another.

 @9FRZ7K5 from Washington  disagreed…3yrs3Y

American soil is stolen land from those same immigrants whom we are denying healthcare. It should all be free and available to people in need.

 @9S8MS8CRepublican  from Georgia  commented…2yrs2Y

you know every country is on stollen land right it's not stolen land we went to war and won that's fair and no they should not be given stuff they broke the law hell if it was any other country they would be shot on site you can't break the law and expect to be given something that f up for the people that came here legally and a lot of times illegal immigrants make legal ones look bad for example my dad cam here for Venezuela lawfully and a lot of illegal Venezuelans are coming here and committing horrendous crimes like R, Murder, and kidnapping and he is afraid of telling peo…  Read more

 @9FR2CJDdisagreed…3yrs3Y

If they are helping to pay for it, why shouldn't they receive the benefits of it? All that is accomplished by the current system is robbery.
