But on the reservation it is completely funded by the Indian Public Health Service. So what happens? Undocumented aliens also go onto reservations. Anybody can go onto a reservation. Sometimes they work there. sometimes they visit friends. and sometimes they get sick. So what does an Indian Public Health Service officer do when an undocumented person comes in. or they hear that someone has some contagious disease in a village? They are prohibited from going over there. They could not go. as I read this amendment. So this is setting aside a class of citizens that is going to be isolated from public health services if it just so happens that some undocumented person sets foot on an Indian reservation. These are not just little villages. We are talking about millions of acres and hundreds of thousands of people with health conditions that are already far below that of the average American.
