No, I don't.

I fully expect I'd be prioritized to the bottomm of the list and probably DIE.

That's what I'd expect if I crawled, illegally into another country and got sick.

They have their OWN citizens to care for FIRST. Not some Gomez who illegally came into their country.
I don't care what another country would do. I like to think that my country is a bit more compasionate than that. My morals would dicated to treat the person and then turn them over to the imigration authorities. But that's just me.
