Surprisingly, the news is sharing that the infrastructure is being overwhelmed by the migrants. I won't deny that those cities are being affected but what is the solution?I just left Houston from a trip. I can tell you firsthand that that's is far from the case there. They have been "released" and are now taking up public spaces as quasi tent cities. You can see the ankle bracelets they have on. Anyone hiring knows they would be an illegal.
Not saying nobody will. But if ICE decides to check up on the ankle band location ping, and see they are working, it would shut down that business.
Houston like any city has to provide them with medical care.
The reason I went to Houston?
Because they are asking me to transport the indigent patients (take a guess who that is). The percentage of IC has spiked to 35% of their patient load.
So let me break that down into laymen's terms. 35% of their patients have no $$.
A bed occupied by that 35% loses 3K per day for the hospital. Nevermind the cost of the ER care that started the admit.
They have a line of paying patients they can't intake because they have no beds. So now they have to prioritize who gets healthcare.
They have to insure care for them as long as they remain in hospital property. INCLUDING external to the building but on property (hint: they sleep on hospital grounds).
Right now if a hospital can't make enough $$ in the surgical suites, they will go bankrupt. That is happening. You can't do a surgery if you don't have a room to put them in. And if you just have a minor procedure needed, you're pretty much going to have to wait until the IC beds open up. Now the insurance companies to provide timely care for that paying patient has a problem to solve.
So they are practically begging me to get the IC off their property. And they don't care how.
So the plan I implemented was, discharge to me. Literally I pick them up at the door. And dump them off somewhere in the wild.
Hospitals don't care.
Houston, the 4th largest populated city in America, will not have a healthcare system at the rate these folks are getting dumped on them.
Houston is but one city this is happening in.
Why won't the news share this?
Because NOBODY wants to pay for this!!!!!
The wall sounds good in theory but will only stop a few people from getting in. Every section can't be patrolled 24/7. You can arrest them and put them on a plane back to where they come from but how do you verify their country of origin if they have nothing. (Some will claim that they are from Mexico so they don't have to be sent to countries further south.)
If you dump them all back to Mexico, I'm sure there would be some sort of issue with the Mexican Gov't.
What would be your solution the problem?
