We are a nation of immigrants. Americans have always welcomed immigrants, who in turn have made significant contributions to our society. American values and traditions provide for the just treatment of individuals, not the detention and deportation of hard-working and otherwise law abiding individuals. These values certainly do not support the deprivation of health care to those who are in need and who, because they are incarcerated, have no opportunity to obtain treatment on their own.
