    You are clearly not any sort of medical professional, so I'll keep the answer so simple even a layperson like yourself can understand:

    "Whoever is in more critical condition ideally will be served to the best capacity of the resources at hand."

    If you prefer that people who don't have a green card with a paper cut should be shot in the head and dumped in an alley, I'm just happy you couldn't have gotten into medical school even if you wanted to.

    unlawful immigrants are a hazard to the yank way of existence. This united states improve into geared up on concepts and values. Peace can't be gain without rules in any different case there would be chaos. The regulation is the regulation. a lot of human beings choose for to return here legally and that they have got persisted soreness in the process the approach. it takes averagely 9 to 10 years to get here legally (if the applicant isn't US citizen). How come somebody that has been here illegaly for 9 or ten years could be granted criminal archives inspite of criminal candidate are nonetheless in line distant places. in case you choose to defend the illegals for humanitarian reason, this is okay. yet , what approximately those are suffering distant places, people who believed the criminal way is the main certain way. would God bless and rewarded them too !!!!

    In the world of ERs there isn't enough time to verify the citizenship of patients who are in life and death situations

    However since the Cons don't live in the real world many of them honestly believe that there is .

    Btw Most people don't carry their proof of citizenship on them at all times...and a DL is NOT proof of citizenship .

    Most ER's are capable of treating two heart attacks at the same time. Keep trying. I'm sure you can get someone else to agree that illegal aliens are not real humans and should be put at the back of the line, because even if they die, it won't really matter to your world.

    Since you aren't asked your citizenship status when you show up at the ER, whoever gets there first will be treated first.

    The person with insurance will always get treated first. Contrary to popular belief, people with none often get sent away to other hospitals, which often won't treat them either.

    The one that it benefits most. They do not know the insurance status when they wheel you into the ER.
