Yes, thanks to REAGAN
nah it's the Supreme Court that held that the US govt can't discriminate against illegals.
It's a little of both, Reagan gave amnesty to them and also made it so hospitals couldn't turn people away for not paying. He also closed all the mental asylums in America, instantly creating the modern hobo virtually overnight.
You've got your facts majorly wrong on all those claims and idk why you hate Reagan so much and want to pin all that shit on him when it wasn't him.
Reagan signed amnesty in 1986, but Congress is the one who passed it, and with a veto proof majority 69–30 in the senate for example, idk how you think Reagan could have stopped it.
As far as hospitals, Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act passed as part of COBRA in 1985 93-6 in the Senate, another veto proof majority. So why are you pinning that on Reagan?
As far as mental hospitals, you got it wrong again. The Lanterman-Petris-Short Act in 1967 was a California law, not national, and it only stopped involuntary commitments, it did not force all the hospitals to close. Plenty of mental hospitals operate today.
