This “human rights” organization is an autonomous organ of the Organization of American States (OAS). American taxpayers provide the vast majority of its funding. The second greatest amount of its funding comes from the Mexican government, but we are actually paying to sue ourselves.

Sounds like they are implying that if you ever give something for free, you are obligated to continue to do so or be in violation of someone’s rights.

What a crock.

“We want to make this an international human rights issue,” said Lindsay Jones, an attorney who represents the patients. The commission, he said, has a “political stick.”

The body has no formal enforcement power in the U.S., but its involvement could move the case beyond the local courts.


Looks like their 'political stick' is more of a political twig.

Basically, they are advocating for private American businesses to provide free services to residents of other countries on some theory of international law. Care to wager whether Obama and Sonia Sotomayor would buy into such a pile of poo?

From our friends at NAFBPO;

Illegal Immigration – Mexico’s double talk – Do as I say, not as I do?

The bulk of illegal immigration into the US comes from Mexico, that is a fact. Some of the illegal immigrants come from Europe, Asia, Africa and Central and South America. Some of the ones that come from Central America come through Mexico. But what happens to those Illegal immigrants while on route to the US?

It is surprising to most to find out that even thought Mexico demands dignity and human rights for its citizens in the US regardless of the their legal status, the Mexican government does very little to preserve the human rights of illegal foreign nationals in their country and they admit that there is abuse. When these illegal immigrants pass through Mexico in their way to the United States, they are often robbed, extorted, raped, and in general mistreated by many people and that includes the police.[snip]http://mylifeasanalien.wordpress.com/2008/05/23/illegal-immigration-mexicos-double-talk-do-as-i-say-not-as-i-do/

Just wonder how much the lawyers are making on this deal? Possibly they could help arrange and pay for their clients’ continuing health care.

In purely medical terms, I feel bad for the patients.

But in terms of reality, they can go stuff themselves. As can everyone trying to force the hospital to treat them.

Where ever this person is from, let his/her home government step up to the plate. If there is a moral imperative to provide dialysis to this person, surely the home country has more of one. The fact of the matter is this person would not receive care in their home country, and no one would have said boo about it. Here in this country illegally, and now we are morally obligated to pay for the care? I don’t think so.

Only if the hospital can negotiate payments from the poor illegal’s home countries first. I bet most of them came from places with socialized healthcare. Let them demonstrate their superiority by extending their compassion to their citizens living here.

One of the doctors at our hospital told me the other day her patient, (an illegal alien from Mexico who needs dialysis) came to our country on the advice of her doctor in Mexico.

Her doctor in Mexico told her to come here because in Mexico, though they have socialized medicine, they do not treat End Stage Renal Disease as aggresively as we do here in the U.S. To be a dialysis patient in Mexico is a death sentence.

He advised her to go to the U.S.

Also keep in mind that Obama and the Democrat Party recently lifted the ban on HIV positive patients from entering the United States.

Now we can look forward to shelling out even more taxpayer dollars treating HIV patients that are not US citizens.

If this group is so fired up about these parasites, they should take up a collection from ALL these bleeding heart lawyers and PAY for the treatment of the illegals that they LOVE so dearly!

If they are illegal, they should be sent to their NATIVE country to care for by the nation that sired them!

Maybe the pro-Illegal Alien group should go after those Illegal Alien’s home country’s for the treatment?

I am tired of Hispano-Racist groups who insist that Americans pay for everything regarding Illegal Alien lawbreakers. How many Americans are being denied medical care because this Hispano-Racist group wants Illegal Aliens treated?
