[quote]We would want to make him a citizen because we are a humane country (or so we tell ourselves). He did not choose to come to this country, but was brought as a child. Leaving him without status is not a solution. Deporting him to his death is inhumane. [/quote]

OK, I'll play.  Listing what I've read (in a cursory manner). So I may have inaccurate points.
 
Through no fault of his own, he was brought here as an infant illegally.  He was in his 40s.
He had mental illness (schizophrenia), which apparently led to his deportation to a country to which he had few ties - culturally or religiously. 
He died b/c he didn't have access to his medicine and couldn't speak the language to communicate his needs.

terrible, I agree, especially b/c he was suffering from mental illness

However, why didn't his family (dad brought him over?) move through proper channels?  He lived his entire life as an illegal immigrant?  Did he work?  In other words,[b] what happened between 6 mos and 41 years?[/b]

I’d want to know this also.  Before blaming Trump for this man’s death and saying the US is not a humane country because of this one man’s unfortunate situation.  [/quote]
