Would you perform CPR on an illegal alien? (green card, illegal immigration, deporting) - City-Data Forum

If someone who you knew was an illegal immigrant needed CPR and no one else was around, would you administer it?

If I knew that the illegal alien was undeniably in need of CPR, maybe yes.

I have little trust in any criminals so I'd also need to scrutinize the details very closely and seriously.

Afterwards, I'd give ICE a call.

Of course I would if they needed it. I want them SENT HOME; I do NOT want them dead.

I don't know any illegals.....If I did,they would be reported long ago.

If someone requires help...I would do whatever I could....Of course,I would expect some sort of a lawsuit against me.....especially if it was an illegal alien....I'd become just another "meal ticket"

I wonder,.....would an illegal do the same ?

Good I'm glad there isn't anyone with enough screws loose to vote no. Regardless of you opinion on illegal immigration, they are humans. For those who say no, what would you do if you saw a hispanic person in need of CPR? Check them for a green card before preforming CPR? Give me a break.

CPR can actually be dangerous for someone passed out drunk. i would suggest loosening clothing providing fresh air and keep wind passage clear, drive immedately to the nearest tia juana ER.

Who mentioned anything about ethnicity or background?

Only if she was really good lookin'! If it's some drunk day laborer hanging outside 7-11, no way!

Yes. I am in favor of deporting them, not in favor of letting them die when I could do something to prevent it.
