An executive order from Republican Gov. Greg Abbott that goes into effect in Texas on Friday, Nov. 1, is stirring controversy.

Starting Friday, Texas hospitals must ask for a patient's citizenship status.
Immigration advocates are sounding the alarm as hospital systems work to understand and prepare for enforcing the new requirement.

According to state officials, the reason for the new law is data gathering.

1. That man is deserving of anything bad that happens to him.

2. Typical rethug,

many folks in Texas will not seek hospital help because of this.

4. And they'll die. He doesn't mind people dying as long as it is women and immigrants doing the dying.

3. What if someone's visiting on a tourist Visa?

Can they still go to a hospital without getting arrested?

Abbott's Texas sure seems unfriendly.

5. So nice to see Greg Abbott a "PRACTICING" Roman Catholic. I am not Catholic or Christian, but I wonder when these

so called "practicing" people who wear religion on their sleeve will stop practicing, and actually DO what their faith preaches?

7. To answer your question

They will never do that. Besides, Christianity as envisioned and taught by Christ, died in 325 AD...once the church made an alliance with Constantine...which gave us Constantinian Christianity!

Constantinianism is a religiopolitical ideology in Christian politics that epitomizes the unity of church and state, as opposed to separation of church and state. This view is modeled after an ideal Christendom, which arose during the reign of Constantine the Great.

Stanley Hauerwas argues against a Constantinian view, saying that it leads to a compromised form of Christian ethics, "[It] leads Christians to judge their ethical positions, not on the basis of what is faithful to our particular tradition, but rather on the basis of how much Christian ethics Caesar can be induced to swallow."

8. You are right they won't, because they don't believe in the seperation of church and state.
