Disease doesn't pay attention to immigration status and we end up paying for healthcare, anyway.
A breakout of TB or meningitis will cross lines right from gardener to homeowner, cleaner to mother, plant worker to supervisor.
When immigrants do get sick, they hit the ERs and county health departments. We're already paying for medical care a la carte, so why not formulate a working plan? Not giving immigrants health care is to ignore the reality of the situation and pretend they'll go away if healthcare does.
