the case of those who failed to comply with US immigration laws to
gain admittance to the US, the picture is considerably less clear.)

Why is it less clear? Infectious diseases don't discriminate, crimes of
desperation occur on both sides of the fence, and acting humanely
includes all people. If the picture is less clear, then it must be for
other reasons.


I haven't fully formed an opinion about this yet, but rather than
subsidizing persons who have chosen to ignore US immigration laws and
thus committed a felony to gain access to this nation, it might be
more reasonable to arrest them or deport them.
