Sadly no they would not be discovered, even now it is illegal for a hospital to ask about citizenship status.

It's a bad thing to help people who are taking money out of my pocket, just like being an accessory to robbery really. They don't contribute to the system and I have no choice but to help them. I don't think so. It is completely different if I choose to donate to a cause that helps them, as I have with both my time and my money. But when someone tells me I have to I have lost my freedom.

I'm in favor of asking at hospitals and if they are illegal treat them then ship them home. If they would rather die here than go home that is their choice and one that doesn't rob anyone else of their freedom.

Its a cruel world and I'm tired of paying so our politicains can look generous. Of course they can be generous, it isn't their money, or their work to earn it.

And somehow we'd still get stuck with funeral costs. I dislike any member who does not serve his/her country in any way or contribute to greater good.
