As expected, there has been no discussion of the fact that most illegal aliens arrive at U.S. borders having received limited or poor medical care most of their lives, many with a host of medical problems that U.S. taxpayers are expected to address with "Free" medical care after a comprehensive health assessment.
Border Patrol officials complained about the quality of medical care at the Donna facility.
A source familiar with the report on medical care at Donna who was not authorized to speak on the record said in an email that the oversight office's description of the Border Patrol perspective on hospitalization was "An observation that more people should be treated on the spot with the appropriate level of care as intended in the contract, rather than burdening the hospital and transport staff who are needed for more emergent cases; such as those with pre-existing conditions."
A little less drama from the media over every migrant death would include some recognition that medical specialists cannot cure all ailments, and that some deaths cannot be prevented no matter how much taxpayer money the government spends on health care.
In theory, a government has options in cases like this: It could deny a court hearing for previously deported aliens; it could decide against offering medical procedures that carry a certain amount of risk; it could recommend detainees return to their homelands to undergo certain medical procedures; it could speed up hearings requested by detainees needing medical attention so that their presence can be resolved in advance of any surgery.
If the United States is going to conduct health screening for every person who enters the country illegally and American taxpayers are going to provide these individuals medical treatment ranging from dental care to open heart surgery, as they do, the media should recognize that this generous policy is not always going to result in perfect outcomes.
If Americans want the government to build massive, cutting-edge medical facilities across the southern border to provide world-class, taxpayer-funded health care to anyone who shows up, Congress can fund that.
