If they paid smugglers to bring them then they can pay the hospital bill. Also this is unfair to other immigrants as they have to get a medical check up and if they are ill they can be denied residency.

A group of 48 migrants were intercepted at sea last week. All but one -- who had medical issues -- were sent back to Cuba.

It was a busy week for the Coast Guard, according to officials, who discovered migrants at sea every day.

The largest group was interdicted last Tuesday, found 20 miles southof the Marquesas Keys, which are situated 30 miles west of Key West.

One of those migrants was allowed to stay -- Licett Sotolongo, who suffers from kidney problems and needed dialysis. She was transported immediately. Relatives say she is still at Kendall Regional Medical Center.

The other migrants were taken to Bahía de Cabañas in Cuba on Saturday.
