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.

I should also add that some people come for asylum but they do not follow the legal process because they are reasonably concerned that the process will fail to protect them (especially if they entered under the Trump regime). If someone enters without filing then gets targeted (e.g. a hospital rats them out), and only then claim asylum, I don’t know what happens but obviously we need the process is competent about separating the genuine cases from the rest. I suppose that’s the scenario you are referring to.
