Austin, August 10 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Texas, Republican Governor Greg Abbott has signed an executive order requiring all hospitals to obtain patients’ immigration status.  Abbott claims the move would help Texas calculate the cost of providing healthcare to immigrants.

Rights groups slammed Texas’s latest attack on immigrant communities, which is likely to face legal challenges. 

The Border Network for Human Rights in El Paso blasted Abbott for “using immigrants as scapegoats for his failed policies and political frustrations.”
