In what appears to be an attempt to link President Donald Trump to the El Paso shooting, CNN claimed on Saturday that some victims of the mass shooting “likely” avoided seeking medical treatment because of their “immigration status.” The implication was that the Trump administration’s tough but widely supported policies against illegal immigration — a CBS poll from two months ago found that three-fourths of Americans believe illegal aliens should indeed be detained and deported — were responsible for this alleged fear.

Maybe they should go to a Mexican hospital, then.
The whole reason that "Quick Clinics" and other suburban urgent care centers have sprung up is that hospital emergency rooms no longer are useful, perpetually clogged with hordes of unpaying illegals.
So, those who can pay, can go to urgent care near by and be seen quickly.
Don't tell me illegals are afraid of emergency rooms.
And when I needed some somewhat unusual vaccinations for overseas travel, the county clinic was the only place that had them. ALL the patients there, other than whitebread me, were Mexican women with 4 to 6 noisy kids each, getting their free health care. Paid for by me.

Could be. The site of the shooting is said to be near the border, cars with licenses from both Texas and Mexico in the parking lot. A favorite place to shop for persons from both sides of the border.

I have lost the capacity to give a darn. Let them go back to Mexico then. I just do not care.

In 2002 I was doing some work around El Paso and had occasion to visit the Walmart store near Mesa Street and I-10. I swear that I was the only native English speaker in the whole damned store. You can't throw a rock in El Paso and not hit someone from Mexico. This whole "speculation" on CNN's part about immigration status is a boatload of B.S.

Ah. More theorizing from the Conjecture News Network - all made up, all the time.
Maybe it's time to don my Magic Black Hat and go visit a hospital waiting room or WalMart checkout (hat tip to Ace of Spades for the MBH meme).

Someone made a joke a long time ago that if you had an ER full of people, just put on an ICE hat and watch it clear out....

CNN is not reporting facts--or reporting responsibly--they are creating and pushing a narrative that supports the network's existing bias. This is as harmful and dangerous as unstable humans with ill-gotten firearms. We decry the violence as the result of rhetoric, then stoke more rhetoric. This is insane.

Shame on you cnn, Shame. shame. shame. May you go the way of Air America. In case you don't get it, Air America went out of business in 2010. Why? No one liked its fake news product.

Oh, so now CNN admits that illegal immigration is wildly unpopular among US citizens. However that doesn't stop CNN from pandering to illegal immigrants. Always with the fake news CNN.

I would be afraid to go to the hospital because it COSTS so much. CNN needs to learn to stop fanning the hate. It encourages the nutcases.

CNN has been turning into a Bona Fide enemy of America for a long time. Don Lemon and his horde of babbling baboons all need to be thrown out of the country, along with the illegals. At first their lying chatter was just amusing now it's obnoxious.

They aren't afraid to go into Walmart or illegally enter our nation because of "immigration status", but they are afraid to go to the hospital because of their "immigration status".
Who is stupid enough to believe that?

I think emergency rooms are just a Mexican thing. My BIL (he’s as legal as you can get, several generations worth) goes to the emergency room for a stomach ache or sore throat. I asked my husband once (his brother) what the heck was up with that. He had no answer.
Funny story, my husband was on the road with severe stomach pains. I found a clinic and sent him there. They told him to go to the emergency room! But we have insurance so there’s that. Turns out he has diverticulitis. That was 5 years ago and every day, every single day, I get poo updates. Yeah, we’ve been married awhile.

Orange County CA hospitals emergency rooms are clogged with illegals!
Two weeks ago I went to one in Orange and it took 9 hours in the waiting room!
And don't even think about going to the county medical services for any type of inoculation or vaccination.
Not only are they full of more illegals, but most of the people working there barely speak English!
Any one not in this country legally should be deported immediately, on the spot!

Yes, there are "door doctors" checking ID's at all area hospitals prior to service. No ID, no triage. Give me a break!!

So, does CNN posit that illegals are now afraid to have their anchor babies at US hospitals? Why are there no articles or conservative accusations that it is the MSM, led by CNN, that is causing these mass shooting incidents, that just happen to coincide with the media-driven heated rhetoric around the socialist debates? There is more logic to that scenario than there is around the "its Trump's fault" drum-beat narrative.

One word. EMTALA. Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. Everyone gets treated regardless of their status.
