[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When confronted with the fact that the parents are paying for this treatment.... When confronted with the fact that they are here legally.. when confronted with the fact that the doctor says that this treatment has to happen within us borders.. all these idiots can come up with are ad hominem attacks and weird ass deflections about the Pole.

They've lost the plot in the argument and this is all they have. Their dark bitter souls bear to the world [/quote]

They are absolutely not paying for this treatment. California taxpayers are. An article in the LA times states the girl is on medi-cal (the CA version of medicaid), ""S.G.V.’s care is covered through Medi-Cal."

The father is an uber Driver from Colombia and the mother works cleaning restaurants and is from the Mexican state of Oaxaca. The parents met in Cancun, where they were working. Just before S.G.V. was born, the couple moved to nearby Playa del Carmen so her husband could work as an Uber driver. The girl  spent most of her life in a hospital in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, tethered to feeding tubes 24 hours a day. She has short bowel syndrome, a rare condition that prevents her body from completely absorbing the nutrients of regular food. Doctors told them to relocate to Mexico City to get better care.

So when they heard the US government begun offering migrants appointments with border agents through a phone application called CBP One they signed up.  Those let in received two-year protection from deportation and work permits. The father "told agents that he had once been kidnapped by cartel members in Mexico who extorted money and threatened to kill him. They also looked at the girl, whose vulnerable condition was obvious."

It would be heartbreaking for her to go back to Mexico since she is already here, but the US need better policies on who is let in and who isn't long-term. And if they accept people who cost a substantial amount to care for then the federal government should be responsible not each city or county or state.

People talk about Canada and Australia and wanting to leave for those countries. Neither of those countries allow anyone who is going to cost their health care or education system to easily immigrate or once in those country to stay. No allowing elderly migrant parents to immigrate and use expensive free health care. Australia has visa health care requirements. A few years ago a German doctor who was who legally working in Australia in a rural area was denied permanent residency because he had a son with Down syndrome and  was judged by officials as likely to be a permanent drain on taxpayer funding due to his condition.[/quote]

+1. No other country in the world allows you to cross the border and stay for free healthcare. None. [/quote]

So you’re fine with her dying.

Question. She’s here legally. If her mother were here legally and wanted an abortion at 20 weeks, would that be fine?  What if the mother came her legally while pregnant and she was born here as a citizen? Would you be okay with her being deported with mom as toddler and dying?

Where does “pro-life” draw the line?

I'm pro-choice. And in favor of strong borders and fiscal responsibility. I'm not in favor of providing free healthcare to any person who can't get the care they want in their home country. I'm also pro gun control. Unusual, I know. [/quote]
