Read MCN’s statement (in English and Spanish). “Rhetoric alone, even without follow-up action, has significant implications on the health of immigrants and migrants, who avoid care out of fear of traveling, fear of exposing their immigration status or that of a household member, and fear of using services that they are eligible to use,” said MCN’s Karen Mountain, MBA, MSN, RN.
