In his ongoing effort to steamroll migrants’ rights, Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued an executive order requiring all hospitals in the state to collect the immigration status of every patient to track how much money is being spent on migrant health care costs, CBS News reports.
According to the order, Abbott demands hospitals collect the data because Texans need to know how much the state is spending to care for “the illegals” and demand the federal government reimburse the state. Of course, Abbott won’t demand a similar investigation into how much those same people pay in taxes to the state.
