OK. So by that logic, let's say you are touring Europe and have a heart attack. The paramedics are in the area and available, but refuse to take you to the hospital. You are left to die on the street.
You think you deserve such foul treatment?
Have I snuck in through a known danger or used my visa?

Even soldiers at war, captured in foreign territory without visas, are entitled to lifesaving care.
