Because that worked out so well for us the last time we admitted a hated, Middle Eastern dictator for medical treatment...

yeah, that's what the mullahs were mad about - we gave him medical treatment.

Oh gosh yes let's deny people medical treatment. That's bound to work out much better.

@ 4,
He can get treated in his own country. Yemen actually has some of the best medical services in the region and is popular for that reason across the Mid East and parts of Asia (if you have cash). This is just an excuse to sneak in and get asylum.

Medical care is not a commodity. Not all facilities can provide the same services.
