Congressman Al Green will explain further Governor Abbott's keep them out, kick them out program at the press conference.
Congressman Al Greenstated, "It is deeply concerning and unacceptable that Governor Abbott's executive order is forcing undocumented immigrants in Texas to endure such circumstances. Status questions will further discourage an already under-hospitalized population to further delay necessary medical interventions for fear of mistreatment due to their citizenship status. These delays will put lives gravely at risk, and ultimately cost our society more down the line. Healthcare should be equally accessible to all, regardless of race, sex, creed, or citizenship status. It is a fundamental human right to receive emergency healthcare services. We must uphold public health and well-being."
