Your conclusion does not follow. I think they should just follow the established triage procedure, rather than potentially wasting days and letting people die trying to verify residency.

What a dumb question. Why would you choose any human over another due to their political party. The only person suggesting that is POTUS, and we know his track record....


By this reasoning: As we run out of hospital beds, should we also give priority to everyone over Registered republicans, if someone gets shot and needs a bed? (No, we shouldn't)

Trump supporters should be at the bottom of the list for ventilators. After all, the whole response to this pandemic is a blown up hoax to make Trump look bad. Suck it up. Trumpsters! The numbers will be down to zero soon. Don't make your hero look bad by succumbing to the need for a vent as your hero is trying to convince everybody this is not a big deal.

Put your lives where your mouths are.

I agree with this too.

I'm a Trump supporter who wished you and your family well when you said the virus had touched your family. A few of us did. Wow.

This thread is about trying to deny people like my son a ventilator because he is a liberal. My response is sarcasm meant to point out how terrible that sentiment is. I don't wish anyone else to have to deal with this horror, but the OP sure doesn't care about my son or anyone else who disagrees with him politically. I find that abhorrent. We are all people and we all deserve medical care regardless of our political leanings.

I appreciate your well wishes, but seeing a thread like this at a moment like this makes me furious.

You’re saying that illegal aliens should get a ventilator ahead of a fellow, law-abiding American just because he voted for Trump? SMH.

As for me, I say that no illegal alien should get a ventilator until we have enough of a supply that ANY American, regardless of whom they voted for, can get one if he needs it. Remember.....the illegals should not be in this country in the first place, and the idea that an American suffocates to death so an illegal can get a ventilator, is disgraceful.

Human beings that present to a hospital unable to breathe should be treated regardless of their immigration status. Show a little humanity for a change.

Show a little humanity for the Americans who will die because illegals are taking ventilators.

That’s the whole problem with leftists. They have no trouble with the idea that in a scenario where Americans need ventilators to breathe, they will die because people who broke into this country will get them instead.

No, that's not what this thread is about. This thread is posing a question about whether politicians who favor illegals over citizens are going to prioritize scarce medical resources the same way. How about illegals over the homeless? How about illegals over veterans?

Right now, Mexico closed their borders with us because they value the health of their citizens. If the same choice had to be made in Mexico, does a Mexican get the last medical device or does an illegal in their country get it, what do you think would happen?

"We are all people and we all deserve medical care regardless of our political leanings."

Your above statement is at odds with your last post.

My stance is this, in America, Americans of all stripes deserve priority for needed medical devices and care over ALL illegals aliens. And that includes people who have overstayed their visas and every other loophole that allows illegals to stay in our country. To me, our citizenship means something and leftist politicians don't share that view.
