This morning Fox TV news reported that Florida and Georgia hospitals have slammed the doors on Haitians. No more.

The US Army is flying injured Haitians in and just dumping them on the hospitals.

I have two problems with the practice.

#1. Haitians are not Americans, they are foreigners.

#2. The Federal Government is taking unfair advantage of our hospitals. Leaving the hospitals to provide at the hospitals expense, apparently without arrangements for reimbursements.

The hospitals have said they are seriously overloaded and the influx is adversely affecting their ability to treat American patients.

Yes, of course, I understand that this is an emergency and that it is the biggest human tragedy in our lifetime but at the same time we need some control and common sense, not pandemonium and panic.

Who are these people coming in? Do they have any ID, documentation ? The prison collapsed and the prisoners are at large. The place is overrun with drug traffickers. OK so they too are entitled to a band-aid. But who's controlling this and how will the hospitals be compensated ? More importantly when will they go home ?
