To cross or not to cross ....the border...

Immigrants are already a vulnerable population and for them to enter a foreign country they have so many things to deal with. Health care should be the least of their worries. Everyone deserves a chance to succeed and in their vulnerable times, I think we should be honored that they chose our country to join. I do think that they add a stress to the country as a whole though. We dont know what their health conditions are and if they are contagious or possibly bringing a new disease to our country. We dont know if they need medical help yet. But they shouldnt be excluded. The Canadian government might need a few pointers at this point. Im not sure of the details but I am aware that people from the US do go to Canada for some medical treatments. I am not happy with the US "health care system" if thats what you want to call it right now. So I think many US citizens travel to Canada for treatments. But what if everyone just ran away to Canada from the US? How would this affect their system? The Canadian government should be more strict, yet still accept immigrants. They should have some type of "list or checkpoint" to determine who belongs to their country for record purposes but they should also provide health care to all. I dunno, health care is just something that is so important because it can affect several people in the vicinity of one sick person. Its like helping one sick person for the benefit of the whole. Think about it, because the flu is contagious, etc.
