The main argument of the article is legalizing dieased undocumented immigrants the way this should be accomplished and the history of the issue, specifically in France from the past to the present.

THe book has been referenced by the author in other papers, but not anywhere else accessible by the internet.

The author is Didier Fassin, he is an anthropologist and socialogist who conducted research in Senegal, Ecuador, South AFrica and France. He used to be a doctor, but now is a professor at Princeton. He is suited in respect to emergency response because studying the people is how to help those affected by disaster.

This article does not address emergency response directly, instead it poses a question that how will other countries accept displaced people due to a disaster? As well as other countries' solutions.

The data used to produce the arguments made in the article included quotes from experts, figures and facts of immigration in France, examples of medical immigration reasoning and historical knowledge of medical immigration in Frnace.

" the incorportation of health status in the provisions of the law, initially as a block to deportation and subsequently as grounds for granting residence, marked as a watershed."

"The logic of state soverignty in the control of migration clearly prevailed over the universality of the principle of the right to life."

"His body is finally the only social resource capable of causing a comparison that has been translated into law and would prehaps allow him to be granted permission to remain."

I looked up deportation and medical reasoning, the medical reasons why undocumented migrants want access to France and how the US deals with undocumented immigrants in general (in comparison to France).

Three ways the document is supported is using the history of France is allowing dieased immigrants into the country- none at all, with some exception and then applying a protocol. The article is also supported through using doctors and their perspective on the immigrants- not caring, wanting to follow the law or being compassionate. The last way is this article is supported is through claims filed by the immigrants themselves-whether they were completely legitimate in their reasons, had medical records falsified or their identity falsified- and the overall effects on the country.

The artilce does not contain a direct bibliography however, the direct quotes and figures, most come from governmental evidence or other history related documents.
