I must have misunderstood you. Who exactly were you saying not to let in?
You had excluded the medically uninsured, I am unsure who constitutes 'the rest'?

Well, in terms of illegals he's correct. An illegal immigrant has no right of residency. Legally, they should be put on the first plane/train/boat back where they came from. There's a world of difference between an illegal immigrant and an asylum seeker.

anybody who is legally entitled to enter the country may enter
this is allowed by law and rightly so, until the law changes or the law is changed

anybody else we should be able to wave goodbye too

i do hope that makes it crystal clear ...
