So here’s a repugnant move by right-wing assholes. Taxans: you can counter that shit. If a hospital asks you whether you are in the country legally, instead of saying “yes” the right answer is “I decline to answer”. Don’t give the dicks their stats.

    You were talking about the asylum seekers Texas sent to Martha’s Vineyard and NYC after lying to them and withholding information from the receiving jurisdictions for the purpose of creating political theater

      Just because they claim asylum when they get caught doesn’t mean jack shit. They don’t magically stop being illegal immigrants, and frankly, I think it should result in their claim being denied

        Asylum is a legal process. If they follow that process (which begins with claiming asylum), then of course they cease to be illegal immigrants throughout the process.
