These parents should have done more. They could’ve arranged a guardian for their daughter so she could stay in the US and continue her treatment.

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

Yeah, screw those sick anchor babies!  They’re just dragging down our society.  [/quote]

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

Or US citizens, which this child is, just not up to your standards.  [/quote]

No. I also do not agree that all US Citizens should have free healthcare.[/quote]

Citation that she’s receiving free healthcare and doesn’t have insurance? Just fanfiction?[/quote]

How would the parents who have no legal status enroll in health insurance in this country?[/quote]

The parents don’t need to have insurance to enroll their U.S. Citizen child in health insurance. Why on earth would you think that?[/quote]

You mean free health insurance? Paid for by US taxpayers? Or you think undocumented produce pickers (per several news articles) are PAYING for their kids to have health insurance? GMAFB. [/quote]

So, is your contention that she doesn’t have insurance and is receiving free care, or that she’s insured but somehow not entitled to the same Medicaid benefits as any other U.S. citizen because you’re mad at her parents? Could you pick one?[/quote]

You are making a great case for dropping birthright citizenship.[/quote]

Cool. Your guy already tried that and lost in court. Try a constitutional amendment.

Until then, people are citizens even if you’re mad at their parents. Feel comforted in the fact that U.S. taxpayers fund the healthcare of 67.3M Americans over 65 and you probably don’t agree with the decisions all of their parents made either.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure the case is making its way to the SCOTUS.

I believe every American citizen should have free healthcare but birthright citizenship has to go.[/quote]

Cool, this child is an American citizen and even if birthright citizenship “goes”, she will still be a citizen because she was born prior to the executive order. So now you’re good with her receiving healthcare for free in the United States and I’m glad you’ve become more comfortable with treating a young child humanely.[/quote]
