SANCTUARY CITY where only non-citizen illegals have the faintest shred of rights.
You are required to have insurance to drive, they don’t. They hit you and you pay if you survive.
You are required to have a vehicle inspection, they don’t. They can’t stop and hit you, they pollute... you pay.
You have health insurance, you pay for it, they have insurance and DON’T pay but they are ahead of you in the emergency room and their are lawyers with their business cards in spanglish explaining how if they agree to sue for the horrible things doctors have done to them... they can hit the jackpot... YOU PAY.
You don’t even get thanked.

Remember this case from last year..GALVESTON — The crushing news came last month as Maria Sanchez was being prepared for surgery to remove a banana-size tumor along her spine that had crept between her vertebrae.
Unable to use her right hand because of the growing tumor, Sanchez, 24, had been at the University of Texas Medical Branch’s John Sealy Hospital for six days when, she said, a Spanish-speaking doctor told her she had to leave the hospital immediately because she was an illegal immigrant. The doctor said she should have surgery in Mexico, according to Sanchez.
Sanchez’s hospital records state that she was discharged because she was “an undocumented pt (patient) with no insurance.” Records show that Sanchez underwent at least one medical procedure and surgery was scheduled before she was dismissed without warning Jan. 12.
After being discharged, Sanchez called her husband, Luis Aguillon, a legal U.S. resident, who arrived at the hospital to find his wife and his mother sitting on her bed crying.”They treated us like animals, like dogs or something,” said Aguillon, 36, an unemployed welder.
Sanchez’s abrupt expulsion raises ethical and legal questions about the treatment of low-income patients with life-threatening conditions. A doctor who reviewed Sanchez’s medical records for the Houston Chronicle said they showed that UTMB ejected a woman with a potentially fatal condition because she was unable to pay.
