[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, thanks for your care and concern for your friend.  What a sad situation for her.  With no home to go back to, no family to help, no benefits here...she is lucky she is not entirely alone.

It breaks my heart to read all the inhumane and unkind replies here.  If you have family, health, benefits, a safety net: you are LUCKIER than this woman.  You are not more deserving.

There but for the grace of God go I, so they say.  Or theee but for the sheer luck of how and where I was born, go I.[/quote]

Um, no, you skipped right over the highly significant part where the person took a series of intentional actions for 15 years that landed her where she is today.

She could have stayed “where [she] was born” but she chose not to do that and willingly chose instead to commit a federal crime by staying in the US illegally. It’s not like a bolt of lightning struck her “where she was born” and she was powerless over that lightning. She had agency, obviously, and she made choices.

You assume facts not in evidence- namely that she didn’t have family or support in the country she left. And therefore she’s un”lucky” but we are all “luckier.”

Elon Musk and his equally odious brother are here illegally. Are you campaigning to have them removed? How about Melania?[/quote]

None of these people are here illegally. But to your larger point, none of the three are hoping to nab a beyond-scare bed in a Medicaid memory facility to the tune of $6500 a month.  All of the 3 have the funds to pay out of pocket for such a room, should the need arise, in a private for-profit facility. [/quote]
