Anti-Immigrant Law Defeated
Support erodes for medical care enforcement
A proposed law that would have
forced doctors and nurses to act as
immigration enforcement officers
and in some cases deny immigrant’s
emergency room healthcare has been
defeated in Congress.
The bill, introduced by U.S. Rep.
Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., was
defeated by a vote of 3 3 1 to 88.
"This legislation would force hos­
pital emergency rooms to take on the
unwieldy and burdensome tasks of
enforcing immigration law,” House
Democratic LeaderNancy Pelosi said.
“Hospitals that refuse to undermine
the doctor-patient relationship by
turning doctors and nurses into im­
migration officers would not receive
critical federal funding.”
The legislation would have re­
quired hospitals to question emer­
gency room patients to determine
theircitizenship, immigration and fi­
nancial status and obtain employer
information for transmission to the
Department of Homeland Security,
and maintain a file of these records
for at least five years, in order to be
reimbursed.
This legislation was opposed by
more than 200organizations, includ­
ing: the American Hospital Associa­
tion, the American Medical Asso­
ciation, the National Association of
Public Hospitals and Health Sys­
tems.

(AP) — A congressional audit
has been ordered on a new system
form easuringTV viewership in big
cities, which critics contend will
undercounts blacks and Latinos.
The move is being spearheaded
by Rep. Fred Upton, R-M ich.,chair­
man o f the House telecom m unica­
tions subcommittee.
Nielsen, which has a monopoly
on counting TV viewers, is sw itch­
ing to an electronic system for m ea­
suring local habits that it contends
will be far more accurate. Currently,
500 households in a city are asked
to record theirTV viewing in adiary
kept during four “sweeps" months.
Nielsen is increasing its sample to
800 homes per city and measuring
v iew ing every day th ro u g h a
“people meter” device attached to
televisions.
Some critics say dry runs o f the
new system have shown sharply
lower ratings for some programs
popular in black and Latino homes.
That’s significant, because lower
ratings mean lower advertising rev­
enues, and an increased chance
that TV networks will cancel these
programs.
