A woke doctor who wants to shield migrants from deportation is urging Texas hospitals not to fill out information regarding a patient’s immigration status on hospital intake forms.
Dr. Tony Pastor, a cardiologist at Texas Children’s Hospital and assistant professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston had posted a video to TikTok that was seen more than a million times before he deleted it, according to The Blaze.
“So my proposal to everyone who’s seeing this is, just know that you do not have to answer this question,” he told illegals in his video.
But Texas Gov. Greg Abbott took aim at this doctor and warned medical providers not to heed Pastor’s advice. And he warned that hospitals would be “putting [their] Medicaid & Medicare funding at risk.”
Hey Texas Children’s Hospital & Baylor College of Medicine this doctor is putting your Medicaid & Medicare funding at risk. ou better think twice & have crystal clear records. There will be consequences for failing to follow the law in the Order.

Pastor then began posting videos whining that Abbott was attacking him for “exercising his freedom of speech.”
the extremist doc also blasted the governor for the state law requiring hospitals to identify the legal status of patients.
“This new law that’s asking hospitals for immigration status is under the guise of trying to get data on how much money we’re spending on undocumented patients,” he bloviated in another. of his videos.
Abbott issued the order in August, The Blaze reported.
Abbott, who issued the order in August, stated that it would allow Texas to track how much the state’s taxpayers are spending on care for illegal aliens due to the current administration’s open-border policies.
“Due to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ open border policies, Texas has had to foot the bill for medical costs for individuals illegally in the state,” Abbott stated. “Texans should not have to shoulder the burden of financially supporting medical care for illegal immigrants.”
“Texas will hold the Biden-Harris Administration accountable for the consequences of their open border policies, and we will fight to ensure that they pay back Texas for their costly and dangerous policies,” he declared.
