illegal immigrants should be treated evenly and given the same opportunities as a citizen, it allows them to be less likely to commit serious crimes and instead help the country as a whole.
@9G92VM4Progressive 2yrs2Y
Immigration healthcare is a very important aspect. As a child of Immigrants, I think that every human being deserves the right to be treated equally and given all of the same opportunities whether they were born there or not. As the Author states, this makes people much less likely to commit crimes and even builds up the community as one whole family. Healthcare is a necessary resource so all people should have access to some form of it.
@9G935GC2yrs2Y
I agree with that because not only will it prevent them to commit any crimes and it can also convince them to become citizens of America.
@9G923WSWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
My thoughts are yes treat illegal immigrants evenly and fair but not for the reason that they will do harm when not given these opportunities.
I agree, because they are already here either way they are not going to leave, so it is best they do things legally and help as a whole instead of causing destruction only because they were not born here. They want to achieve the American dream for their children and family for them to be successful.

Illegal immigrants form the basis of our economy through their hard work. Many compromise their physical health working to provide food for our tables and a home for our families. It is immoral for our nation to compromise their natural rights to life and health due to institutional racism and prejudice. Keep in mind: every single one of us has an immigrant background!
@9G44DRGLibertarian 2yrs2Y
It is true that illegal immigrants form the basis of our economy through their hard work, and so therefore it should be the works of the constitution to grant them the rights they deserve, just like any other American. American soil is founded upon the work of immigrants.
@9G3V3F62yrs2Y
I agree with the statement that was made. I feel like immigrants do sacrifice a lot, so they should be treated just as equally.
@9G3TVH82yrs2Y
I agree. The backbone of our country should have every single right as every other U.S. citizen has!
@9G4L2JM2yrs2Y
I agree, illegal immigrants most of the time are here to work and shape a better future for their kids!
we should give illigal immigrants a chance, drug test them, and make sure they arent here to sell illigal things, but if they arent give them a chance, not all countries are as good as america, they were coming here for a better life and we should give them a chance to become an american citizen.
@9F85M6R2yrs2Y
Illegal immigrants are criminals. They are more than welcome to come into the country legally; however, those who do not are criminals, and should be treated as such.
We all deserve health no matter what. Bcaysif you hav imigration heath care you should get healthcare
@9FP227H 2yrs2Y
I believe many immigrants are ready to make America a more diverse great society. Many immigrants who come, work very hard for their earnings. The U.S. should provide a safe environment to those who seek refuge from their country.
@9FP3HXZ2yrs2Y
Yes since immigrants help and do a lot of jobs and bring a lot to table like being able to usually speak at least two languages and help out with other things.
@9FP4K7R2yrs2Y
I absolutely agree with this stance, however we should also prioritize making the process to become a citizen much more accessible, especially for lower income and disabled or otherwise disadvantaged immigrants, that way we can avoid laxing immigration safety laws in a way that could cause saftey problems
@9FP453W2yrs2Y
Yes, immigrants are still people. I don’t understand why this country is so adamant on keeping people out when this wasn’t our land to begin with and we still brutally mistreat NATIVE Americans and neglect their existence. We do not have a soap box to stand on.
@9GQTMWX2yrs2Y
America was meant to have many people come together to have a chance somewhere new. Now we are gate-keeping it from people and closing our doors rejecting what america was meant to be.
@9GYZRB82yrs2Y
My point of view is that migrants are having very hard in their countries which is the reason they flea. They need help that is why they risk their life coming over to have a better future for their children and for them. This is why they should be able to get healthcare.
We should NOT deport all illegal immigrants, because if they're determined to go so far to go to The USA, imagine how much of a determined worker/person they will be in America.
@9HFRM8R2yrs2Y
Illegal immigrants should not be deported and should be given the same healthcare rights as citizens. They are very hard working and tend to do the jobs that no one else wants to do.
@9HFS562Republican2yrs2Y
Illegal immigrants can lead to overpopulation, they can steal jobs that could have been provided to Americans, and they are not U.S. citizens so they should not be treated like one. Respect them as people, but they should not be able to enter the country illegally, there are ways to come into this country legally.
@9HFS3MT2yrs2Y
I agree and disagree, I think that even without a green card everyone should get equal healthcare. As for deporting, I think its only right depending on the years spent in the U.S., if they are a younger age and have spent the majority of it in the United States they shouldnt be sent back to a place they don't know much about.
@9GYFNL32yrs2Y
These people are escaping their countries for a reason and providing that they are people without a criminal record and prove to be good citizens they should be allowed to stay.
@9GPBTRRWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
Think about the reasons for their immigration. Did they immigrate because they were sick or in danger, or for a better life? Either way, unless they are a threat they should be treated as fair individuals.
Immigrants are still humans, the US was built by immigrants. They deserve all-natural and universal rights as any other citizen, simpy because they are human and need help.
@9GZFXRN2yrs2Y
I completely agree with this statement, as immigrants are the foundation of this nation and should be provided with healthcare like any other citizen.
I agree life should be s human right them not being a citizen does not take that away. Healthcare is often necessary to live and immigrants often need help and we should have the empathy to give them it.
@9GQLJVS2yrs2Y
If the immigrants aren't doing crimes and contributing to our country, they deserve the same things a U.S. citizen has. Just because they were born somewhere else doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to come over and have rights.
@9GRH9HTRepublican2yrs2Y
i dont think that we should deport illegal immigrants because even tho they are in the land on the us they still abide by the rules and work and pay taxes and they should also deserve more opportunities into healthcare
@9G2DHT92yrs2Y
That makes no sense they're as human as any US citizen, and just because they don't have proper documentation it doesn't mean they should be completely denied healthcare. It should be a universal right. Or in the least, there should be a push for legal documentation.
@9G2F2VR 2yrs2Y
I agree. They should also make it easier for the RIGHT PEOPLE to gain documentation in the U.S. they deserve help and freedom as much as the rest of us. They all have the basic human right to live and be healthy.
@9GYP4G72yrs2Y
I agree, most immigrants work harder than those who are US citizens, paying their taxes, contributing to the US economy, and yet not helping them with healthcare or giving them their rights natural seems very immoral.
@9GXY4FP2yrs2Y
Illegal immigrants are still people, and many come to America for a reason. Of course in every side of the world their are bad people with bad intentions but we cannot discriminate against immigrants based on their citizenship. After all they are still human and deserve rights. Not to mention the backbone of most jobs in America, that keep this country running are Immigrants. Some have proper study and college degrees but many are not able to practice it due to restriction in America. The people who farm, cultivate, serve food, clean your car, do the housework, draw reports, risk their lives,… Read more
@9GYB25K2yrs2Y
Its inhumane to deny someone care for something that is life threatening, there is a good chance that they cant get the care needed in their home country.
@9GV265K2yrs2Y
Why deport all illegal immigrants, most of them are Mexicans that jobs no white man or black man will ever do in America, so why take them out, you need those illegals to do constructions and Ag, remember what happened in Florida that sure didn't work.
@9GSF5BQ2yrs2Y
Although some might agree to deport them I think thats the wrong thing to do considering these immigrants mean no harm and they are hear to get a better life not only for themselves but for their children and families.
@9GV3JXS2yrs2Y
A lot of the infrastructural part of the U.S is worked and maintained by illegal immigrants and a lot of blue collar work as well which is a category of work not many want to work in now a days
@9GV7P87Progressive2yrs2Y
We shouldn't deport all illegal immigrants because some are trying to provide for their families like any other normal citizen and provide a boost to our economy.
@9GS4LJ42yrs2Y
There should be the plans in place to offer citizenship and aid to immigrants, so that they can get things like healthcare and aid, while giving back to the society through paying taxes.
@9GZ88ZJ2yrs2Y
I think if an immigrant has not commited a serious crime, they should be offered citizenship after living here for at least 5 years and have the same benifits as other citizens.
@9GZ8R7C2yrs2Y
I agree, if they want to get citizenship they should be able to try and get it, also benefits should extend to more people.
@9GYV2LM2yrs2Y
I believe all immigrants or people no papers currently living in the U.S Should be given citizenship, but if they have a high criminal record then they should be deported.
Not everyone was privileged and had the same opportunities as others, therefore help immigrants with healthcare because they struggle more.
@WiseFr33domPatriot2yrs2Y
Consider the case of a single mother working two jobs to make ends meet, barely able to afford healthcare for her own family. Is it fair to ask her to subsidize the healthcare of someone who is in the country illegally? What are your thoughts on this perspective?
@9GT72W52yrs2Y
I don't agree with it. People come here to pursue something better. They just want a better life and health care comes with that.
@9GSX6FKProgressive2yrs2Y
Yes, Illegal immigrants should be able to stay in the U.S they deserve the same rights we do. They are just trying to live same as anyone else so why deport them when they are just trying to live their lives.
@9H2FLJTIndependent2yrs2Y
The U.S. government shouldn't have the ability, even within its own borders, to decide who gets to live and who doesn't simply because the person isn't a born citizen (especially if they haven't committed any offenses and they pay taxes). If immigrants aren't going to have the basic human rights that other citizens have, then they shouldn't be forced to pay taxes like citizens are.
@9GVCMQR2yrs2Y
This country is no one's country since the english basically took it from the native americans. If we want to get real here, you're pretty much an immigrant yourself.
@9H2DVKP2yrs2Y
Illegal immigrants are one of our biggest contributors to our economy and overall country. the removal of such would only decrease the labor of fieldwork as well as education and students currently enrolled. The importance of this issue relies on how much people in need are valued
@9GSC7472yrs2Y
The best counter-argument to deporting all illegal immigrants is "Where would the country be if we didn't have illegal immigrants?"
@9FWBY952yrs2Y
Illegal Immigrants are not all the same, we can have a common in their story of becoming in the person they are today. but most definitely are not the same, they are some who care and actually pay taxes.
@9FWLKCR 2yrs2Y
I totally agree with this all Immigrants aren't the same some do care and pay taxes. Mostly all Immigrants come here not for a better life for them but for there kids and will do anything for their kids.
@9G85X7L2yrs2Y
Immigrants help the economy, without them, we would not have produce, much labor, and anyone deserves healthcare.
@9G663ZZ2yrs2Y
Illegal immigrants only come to this country to have a better life to get away from war, drug cartels, and poverty, and to have a better life for their children.
@9H3ZB3Q2yrs2Y
Many immigrants are just trying to make a better life for themselves. I think we should pay close attention to terrorists and Mexican gangs but many of the citizens crossing the boarder are running from violence. We should pay closer attention to the gangs and gun violence coming from our own state like the numerous lives lost to school shootings.
@9H3B8T22yrs2Y
They're still people, they came here from countries that would probably end them up dead in, is it not the responsibility of the union to care for the huddled masses yearning to breathe free?
@9FTZCDK2yrs2Y
Not all illegal immigrants should be deported specially if they are not criminals or wanted for a crime. Since most times they are trying to escape harsh conditions from their past homes.
@9GVCNMJ2yrs2Y
Argue that addressing the healthcare needs of all individuals, regardless of immigration status, is crucial for public health. When individuals lack access to healthcare, it can lead to the spread of communicable diseases and other health concerns, posing risks to the broader community. Highlight the economic contributions that immigrants, including those without legal status, make to the economy. Many undocumented immigrants work in essential industries, such as agriculture, construction, and healthcare, contributing to the overall economic well-being of the country.
@9GTCSP22yrs2Y
That if we are the country of the free why are we trying to tie helpless people down more than they are already with problems of their own. And no one is illegal plus most of the people here are illegal immigrants and deporting them would be really bad for the U.S. economy and not to mention when the 13 colonies came here, they also were illegal immigrants, yet the American Indians treated them as decent human beings and in return the U.S. stabbed them in the back. When people say this, they usually refer to "Mexicans" or just people from Central and South America who try to be free… Read more
@9FTQ56P2yrs2Y
Since immigrants make up most of the U.S. population, this will lead to an unstable economy and may cause a war between the U.S. and the world. It's also hard for immigrants to get any type of healthcare and become a citizen.
@9FNMLKQ2yrs2Y
i strongly disagree they are people just like us they cant control that they want better lifes for their family just as much as we do they do everything in their power to give their family things and oppotunies that dont have in there home state and work just as hard as white people most of the people who work in the us are Hispanic
@9H4P32T2yrs2Y
Immigrants who have lived in the US for over 10 years, and have paid taxes should have access to citizenship and healthcare.
@9GZHVN42yrs2Y
Every human should be able to have healthcare since it is not fair for others if some cannot get it.
@9GYTGZ22yrs2Y
America is the land of opportunity, a nation created to offer freedom for anyone who strives for it, and refusing those freedoms to people who have done nothing wrong is not only abhorrent, but a flagrant violation of our nation's founding principles.
@9H3CZ7J2yrs2Y
All the people that have step foot in the us should have the opportunity to become a citizen and be allowed after a while healthcare.
@9GXLBD8Women’s Equality2yrs2Y
if you deport all illegal immigrants you would lose the most hard working people. immigrants are those who take on the jobs that nobody else would.
@9GXH9FR2yrs2Y
That not the right answer as most of the us economy is by illegal immigrants that do labor intesive jobs
@9GZ5SNV2yrs2Y
We should not deport all illegal immigrants because they work just as hard as legal people in the US. Maybe even harder.
@9GMPQMC2yrs2Y
We should not deport every illegal immigrant because not all are bad and most have family in the U.S..
I think that everyone should have healthcare for free.
@9H4H8G22yrs2Y
I think illigell immigrants shounlt be deported for simply wanting to start a better life and provide for there familys by coming here.
@9H4HFY82yrs2Y
It is unfair and inhumane to separate families all because they may not the have the proper documentation, everybody deserves a good life and the U.S should be willing to provide for all immigrants since it is a a country full of opportunities for all.
@9GHZJTN2yrs2Y
That seems like so much work, if they aren't doing anything just let them be. But I don't think they should be able to benefit from american programs.
@9GJ6CB52yrs2Y
I think immigrants should be granted American Healthcare benefits if deemed necessary. For example, if a immigrant were to be injured that ends up becoming something terrible while on American soil, the same healthcare provided to American citizens should be given to that immigrant.
@9GG27CP2yrs2Y
Many people are fleeing their nations and coming to ours in search of a better life, they wish to live the American dream as we all do. They may be here without the proper documentation, but in defense of these immigrants, the U.S. makes it very hard for these people to get the right documentation quickly, as some people would need it immediately. These people need to be supported as well.
@9GJCKQD2yrs2Y
Illegal immigrants are humans just the same as you and me, and if they're escaping a bad situation or just need a place to live, then we should let them stay.
@9GGBPLW2yrs2Y
Immigrants provide the basis of our economy. They compromise their health to benefit us. It would be wrong to deprive them of their basic rights.
@9GNMNCY2yrs2Y
.most immigrants work harder than those who are U.S. Citizens, and pay their taxes, help contribute to the U.S. economy and yet not helping them with health care or give them their natural rights seems very inmoral
@9GFQHFL2yrs2Y
Immigrants are people as we are and sometimes the cartel are pushing them out of their homes. This means they are left with no other choice but to flee to a safe country. Getting a visa or documentation can take up to ten years.
@9GC76JT2yrs2Y
I think that we shouldn't deport all illegal immigrants. Majority of them come here for a better life and it wouldn't be fair to kick them.
@9H5DF622yrs2Y
Illegal Immigrants may travel to other countries because they are at war or they are very sick and cant find medical aid in their country. This means, that we shouldn't deport all illegal immigrants as they may be very sick, at war, etc.
@9GW6J322yrs2Y
they are humans too and they are coming to america to give them selves and their children a better opportunity at life
no why would you deport all of them why are they trying to get away or coming here like leave them alone
@9H52G792yrs2Y
This has to be the most unfair thing that has been created. I do not support this at all everyone deserves a better future and life without getting killed getting separated from their parents, and children if you support this you are supporting evil in my eyes
@9H3L4D42yrs2Y
Most people that are here illegally are because these people are escaping dangerous situations. A few imagrants I have run into are running form the crime lords and don't want to use the money they got from illegal actions. These people are trying to gain a better life and start over. There are no reasons to try and understand these people. If we export them then we get into more trouble than its worth.
@9GW5BWX2yrs2Y
We should not deport "illegal immigrants" because t the end oth the day everyone is human and the world was here wayyy before us and our unnecessary racism. Every living person is the same, We wake up work think eat breathe bleed speak sleep the same way the only difference is where we come from.
@9H3JQRY2yrs2Y
Have a **** ing heart dude. You have no idea what they have been through. Their own government is hurting them and they want safety and peace. Or want a new life. This country is made by immagrints. And originally belonging to native americans before we **** ing took the land. So if youre telling immagrints to go back. You should also go back. Because youre not orignial here either. Im born in america, but my parents are mexican. Im chicano, Mexican american. We are our own kind. But they still tell us to go back. See?
@9GWHXQ4Independent2yrs2Y
Why are they considered illegal? "Illegal immigrants" are still just regular people trying to make a living for themselves and their families.
@9H543GV2yrs2Y
They should not deport illegal immigrants because coming from immigrants parents I see the whole world differently yes I see some immigrants just not help America but make it worst and when it comes to those people then maybe deport them because they are doing what they where doing in Mexico so why cant they stay there but for hard working immigrants they should be granted citzinship and green card people they world probably twice as hard as Americans and they provide more to the economic and more.
Illegal immigrants form the basis of our economy through their hard work. Many compromise their physical health working to provide food for our tables and a home for our families. It is immoral for our nation to compromise their natural rights to life and health due to institutional racism and prejudice. Keep in mind: every single one of us has an immigrant background!

Because illegal imigrants want a better life and are not doing any wrong to anyone and take all the jobs no one wants
@9GXSYM52yrs2Y
In the country our illegal immigrants come from the government and their nation is in terrible shape, as a nation they are surviving not living. They should be offered/provided healthcare just like a U.S Citizen.
Those people deserve the right to be in this country. This is a place of opportunity and people who are willing to come here for a better life should have those rights. And all people who are in need of health care should get it, this may save someone's life in the end.
@9GVFRVY2yrs2Y
We are all Americans no matter if we are not born here. Why should an Illegal immigrant be deported, its not like they've done nothing wrong. They have worked and achieved just as much than Americans, so why are we just denying them from rights that they've earned.
@9H3JXWS2yrs2Y
Everyone came from immigrants at some point, and many foreigners come here to get the support and opportunities that we enjoy, so they deserve to get financial support for healthcare.
@9GTDDTP2yrs2Y
The country farms and construction would be shut down and it would rob many children from being able to survive in the united states
Many of those illegal immigrants they are talking about are nothing but innocent people who only want a better life with kids and family members
@9GD8JRK2yrs2Y
I think that illegal immigrants should have free healthcare if they have low income and just if they need it in general. I also feel that immigrants shall not be deported because what if it is thy family, or they came to America for a better life.
