CALIFORNIA JUDGE RULES ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS MUST HAVE ACCESS TO PUBLIC NURSING CARE A judge in California has blocked the State from cutting off state-funded nursing care for elderly and sick immigrants who cannot prove they are legally in the US. Many of these people are in nursing homes and, according to some, would die without that care. The State argued that federal law requires California to end a program of making long-term nursing care available to elderly or disabled people who cannot document their status. Immigration advocates, however, successfully argued the point that many in the program may be legal residents or even citizens but, because of their physical or mental condition, are unable to prove their status.
