On Thursday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R-Texas) signed an executive order mandating that all hospitals in the state begin gathering information on all patients who are immigrants, so that they can be reported to the state government.
As Fox News reports, Order GA 46 requires the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to collect data on illegal aliens who go to public hospitals for either inpatient or emergency care, and to subsequently report the costs back to the state so as to determine how much taxpayer money was spent on healthcare for illegal aliens. The bill will subsequently be sent to the Biden-Harris Administration.
“Due to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ open border policies, Texas has had to foot the bill for medical costs for individuals illegally in the state,” said Governor Abbott in a statement. “Texas should not have to shoulder the burden of financially supporting medical care for illegal immigrants.”
