Hippocratic Oath
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.
I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
What is your point ?This is called the modern version .

That oath is between a doctor and his patients. It has nothing to do with you or anyone getting medical care. It's all about money in the health industry these days. Emergency rooms across the country are closing their doors because illegal aliens and poor Americans can't pay for their health care bills. Allowing more illegal aliens from any country will only make this problem worse.

the Hippocratic oath states "first do no harm" which means that first you must not harm a patient while trying to treat him. It is ethics and has nothing to do with who you treat. I do agree however that doctors and nurses should be morally bound to help anyone in need, the Hippocratic oath does not bind them to this

It is an oath not to refuse treatment to the sick, if they show up. It doesn't mean they should be let in to get sick here rather than somewhere else, though.

The Hippocrates law has absolutely nothing to do with illegal immigration.

It's the Hyppocratic oath, and only those who take it have to abide by it. Like doctors.

the hippocratic oath states 'above all, do no harm'.
If you're concerned about the health and the welfare of the mexican people, why not write to the mexican government and petition them to build new hospitals?
