However, NBC News reports that American\u2062 citizens are often being turned away from New York hospitals and social services\u2063 due to \u2062the \u2064overwhelming influx \u2063of border crossers.<\/p>\n<p>According to the NBC News report, &#8220;Orlando&#8221; was diagnosed with \u2064esophageal cancer shortly after\u2062 arriving \u200bin\u200c the U.S.A. Now,\u200c he\u200b is receiving free\u2063 chemotherapy, radiation treatments, and doctor&#8217;s care, which would cost Americans thousands \u2062of dollars. Despite being aware of\u2064 the costs, &#8220;Orlando&#8221; is grateful for\u2064 the life-saving care he is receiving.<\/p>\n<p>However, this \u200dfree\u200d healthcare for illegal immigrants comes at a cost to American citizens. More than\u200b 30,000 undocumented immigrants have \u200breceived free healthcare in New York\u200c hospitals since \u2063April\u2063 2022. While NBC did not report \u200con &#8220;Orlando&#8217;s&#8221; \u200cgratitude towards the American people, it is\u2062 clear that the system \u200dis\u200b strained.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Illegal Immigrants Treated to Free Benefits, Including Healthcare<\/h3>\n<p>In a\u200b report \u200caired on NBC \u2064News, it was revealed \u200cthat &#8220;Orlando&#8221; came to New York City because he heard about\u200c the various free benefits, \u2063including healthcare, available to\u200c undocumented immigrants. Dr. Ted Long, a senior vice president for \u200cNew York City Health\u200b + Hospitals,\u200b acknowledged the challenges posed by \u2063the border crisis\u200d but emphasized the importance of providing assistance to asylum-seekers \u200bwho have endured physical and \u200demotional\u200b trauma.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Unfortunately, this prioritization of illegal immigrants \u2063over American citizens has resulted in many citizens being referred elsewhere or\u2062 facing long waiting times for essential medical \u2063care. Randye Retkin, the director of LegalHealth, a division\u200c of the New York\u200d Legal \u200bAssistance Group, admits that most of her clients are now undocumented immigrants, leaving American \u200dcitizens in need of life-saving \u200dtreatment in a precarious situation.<\/p>\n<p>This\u200c report highlights the\u2064 concerning\u2063 reality\u2062 that in President\u2062 Joe Biden&#8217;s America,\u2062 illegal immigrants are given priority over American citizens. If our\u2062 borders\u200c were better managed and immigration laws\u2064 were enforced, American citizens would not be treated as second-class citizens in their\u2062 own country.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"author_subscription_pitch\">\n<p><em><b>An Urgent Note from Our Staff:<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Western Journal has been labeled &#8220;dangerous&#8221; simply because we have a biblical worldview and speak \u2064the truth\u2062 about\u200d what is happening in America.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We refuse to let Big Tech and woke advertisers dictate the content we \u2062share with our community.
