No sympathy. As someone who has resided in other countries, I was fully aware that if I broke the laws, I would be deported. These parents made a choice.

No one is surprised by how “edgy” you are in not sympathizing with a pediatric cancer victim, don’t worry.

(DP). Another cancer victim here. Hi.

There was a recent thread about one of Musk’s employees who violated her employment by posting “influencer” social media content while on duty. She responded by claiming she was a cancer survivor, taking photos made her feel good, and how dare anyone criticize a cancer victim.

To me, your statement is just another side to the same coin. Cancer is AWFUL and I don’t wish it on anyone and my heart especially goes out to this mother.

But every person who is in our country illegally has a story. It’s too simplistic to say that anyone who is related to someone with cancer can be excused from breaking the law. It doesn’t work that way.

I’ve found that the cancer communities really do try to help in any way, especially with kids. I wish this family had done it the legal way. Plus for many common cancers, the treatment will be the same in Mexico as in the US. It really depends on her actual diagnosis. Wishing the little girl a speedy recovery.

I don’t care how my statement reads to you. The person with cancer the PP is busy saying they have no sympathy for didn’t break a single law, unlike your Musk acolyte. And unlike your Musk acolyte this little girl had no choice in any of this. That the PP loudly claims to have no sympathy for her is about their lack of humanity, and that you compare a pediatric cancer patient who is a U.S. citizen to an adult breaking the law is about yours.

I hope for your sake people only saw you as enough of a human to express sympathy for you when you were ill.

This Republican administration shows plenty of sympathy for US citizens who break the law by bludgeoning the US Capitol police and destroying the Capitol and threatening to hang members of Congress. Trump’s first priority as President was to pardon his January 6 terrorists friends. So breaking the law is fine for MAGA if you’re white and a facist.

Honestly I think we’ve created a situation of learned helplessness. We’ve expected so little from parents that they aren’t doing some basic basic stuff.

Yes, "there but for the Grace of God go I" definitely doesn't apply here! WE would have been smarter, better prepared, able to handle anything and we NEVER make choices that don't work out.

Oh, and also let's punish the fellow CIITIZEN CHILD because the parents didn't have the BRAINS and MORALS we would have to get our child CANCER TREATMENT THE RIGHT WAY.

She’s only a citizen because her parents snuck here illegally and had anchor babies. I also guarantee she does not have any insurance and the family is not actually paying for her care. The US taxpayers are.

The child was being treated in Houston at Texas Children's Hospital.Each time they traveled from the Rio Grande Valley to Houston, they went through a checkpoint where they presente a letter from the hospital explaining the child's need for care. She developed symptoms on Feb 3 and the family headed to the hospital. Sara, the child with the cancer, wears a leg brace. Her parents have a nasal spray to give her if she has a seizure (this is probably nasal valium, something I have heard about because I have a niece with epilepsy and frequent seizures).

They had always been let through the checkpoint until that day. They were taken into custody and some of their treatment by officers was appalling--including taking away the emergency seizure nasal medication and locking it up, where the next shift could ot find it. (Their son, who has acne, was told by one officer he needed to masturbate more.)

Once in Mexico, Mexican authorities arranged for taxi transportation to a secure shelter to protect them from kidnappers who infest the area; according to the complaint, US citizens (two of the children) are at particular risk of kidnapping. They saw bodies in the streets in the area near the shelter.

Was the complaint filed against the Mexican government? The parents were here illegally and were deported. They chose to stay together as a family and have their US citizen children travel with them to Mexico. Mexico is responsible for their safety.

Agents of the Mexican government weren’t the ones taking away the lifesaving drugs of a U.S. citizen. At least use baseline reading comprehension before spewing hate.

If the complaint was about the medicine, why does it mention the risk of kidnapping? How about you apply baseline reading comprehension before posting. There was nothing hateful in what was posted. Try a different tactic since logic isn't on your side.

Read the complaint. It’s extremely clear what actions the agents of the U.S. government undertook, and unless you are asserting they work for the Mexican government, I don’t know why the government of Mexico would be responsible for their actions.

The U.S taxpayers are also funding the medical care of the elderly citizens, impoverished citizens, profoundly disabled citizens. It’s also statistically more likely her parents arrived on a visa.

You’re so right! Why don’t we just pay for all the cancer treatment for every living being in earth!! Why stop here????

This is a very sad story. However, this could have happened under any administration. I can’t stand trump but this is not the issue to hang your hat on.

No. I also do not agree that all US Citizens should have free healthcare.

Right on cue. Blaming a pediatric cancer patient. Is there no low to which you people won’t stoop?

You’re right, cull the surplus population. Only the strong and the rich survive. It’s the pro life thing to do - what Jesus wants.

I hope people give you as much empathy as you give this child, which is little to none. May your children not suffer from the sins of you, the parent. No sympathy for your family when you succumb to your brain cancer, which is what this child is enduring but you think anyone can treat it

I'm a pro-choice agnostic. Yes, really.

As for the medicine, I'm sure it's available in Mexico as well.

You're right. The US is the only place in the world to treat brain cancer. Therefore, all peoples of the world should come here and we should treat all the brain cancer free of charge! It's only the right thing to do.
