Houston. Tucson. Miami. Orlando. El Paso. and Las Cruces are treating a growing number of uninsured. undocumented trauma patients. This Is an unfortunate direct result of the Federal Governments inability to control our borders and a failure to implement an effective Immigration policy. The closing of over 60 trauma care centers in recent years is clear and convincing evidence to me and the committee that time for Federal assistance Is now. I realize that a larger financial problem exists in the arena of trauma care throughout the Nation. However. it is my belief that a limited measure at this time makes more economic sense in light of todays budget environment.
