US Hospitals Privately Deporting Immigrants

Story is here.

This is one of those Kafkaesque results of the United States not having a coherent immigration policy. All across the country, hospitals are being drained dry by illegal aliens using hospital emergency rooms for their health care. My retired nurse mom, who is, like me, a liberal, has long lamented the effects of unfettered immigration on hospitals, which run on real money, not merely on airy fairy ideology and good intentions. She has also been hit twice by unlicensed illegal alien drivers.

The hospital featured in this article did the best it could in caring for Mr. Jimeniz, who is regrettably in his own circle of hell right now. But you also can't have private entities making immigration decisions and this was more or less a usurpation of a governmental function by the hospital and they need to suffer some kind of legal consequence because of it.

By the same token, that hospital is also a victim of the Republican fetish for cheap labor and Democratic Party political correctness. So it was in a Twilight Zone of its own here.
