10yo American citizen with brain cancer deported

[Ron_Artest 1,044]

A family that was deported to Mexico hopes they can find a way to return to the U.S. and ensure their 10-year-old daughter, who is a U.S. citizen, can continue her brain cancer treatment.

Immigration authorities removed the girl and four of her American siblings from Texas on Feb. 4, when they deported their undocumented parents.

The family’s ordeal began last month, when they were rushing from Rio Grande, where they lived, to Houston, where their daughter’s specialist doctors are based, for an emergency medical checkup.

“What is happening to this family is an absolute tragedy and it is something that is not isolated to just them,” said Rochelle Garza, president of the Texas Civil Rights Project.

“This is part of a pattern in practice that we’ve seen in the Trump administration,” Garza said, adding that she has heard of multiple other cases concerning mixed-status families.

Illegal Immigrants will use any excuse to avoid deportation.

So? They didn't want to split up the family. The kids can come back when they're old enough to support themselves. 

[Horseman 2,353]

Perfect example for ending birthright citizenship.  Keep these freeloading scumbags in their own country.

Exactly.

And they criticized Democrats at Trumps SOTU address for not standing, because he used the kid with brain cancer only as a prop and he didn't really care about kids with cancer (with Elon cutting pediatric cancer research funds). This proves we were right, it was all just theatre on Trump's part to make him look like maybe he had an ounce of compassion.

So... should we be keeping families together, or splitting them up?  Make up your minds.

Maybe we shouldn't be deporting parents of US citizens that have been here for 10+ years with no criminal history.

The 10 year old was not deported.  If you can't even report the story accurately there's no reason to even discuss it with you.

They shouldn't come here in the first place and put us in that position.  Not our fault and we shouldn't reward that behavior.

Get rid of them all. Kids should not have a one way pass to this country. Especially if they have cancer.

Hours later, the family was placed in a van and dropped on the Mexico side of a Texas bridge, the mother said. From there, they sought refuge in a nearby shelter for a week.

If you're not gonna bother read the story you shouldn't post in the thread.

The parents are not US citizens though.  Come and stay here legally if you don't want to be deported.

The 10 year old cancer patient is a US citizen.  The US govt dropped her off in Mexico to die.  But I guess that's her problem and not ours right?

[supermike80 1,799]

Come to America!!!   Get knocked up with kids you can't afford and you can stay forever!!!

We should have that on a sign somewhere

Your own article says it's up to the family whether the kids go or stay.  Read your own article.

So you want the parents to abandon their kids?

Obviously you're not a parent.

I didn't make any comments about the child.  This all comes down to the parents being here illegally.

I didn't say that.  But you're micharacterizing what happened.  American citizens aren't deported.  If you won't acknowledge that FACT there's no point in having a discussion with you.  Not that there usually is anyways.

Sure, her parents were deported and the parents chose not to abandon their kid who is a US citizen.  Does that make the situation any better?

[Hawkeye21 2,380]

The parents have been here for over 10 years.  They should have some friends that they can trust.  Leave the child with them and go back to Mexico.  Work on coming back to the US legally.

Get rid of illegals and their kids. Keep them together. Just ship them out and charge the the costs.

Mexico won't take care of the child?

A situation entirely of her parents making.

It would be great if Mexico got their shite together so their citizens would actually want to stay there.

[avoiding injuries 1,505]

What insurance did the parents have? Maybe the kid can still be treated.

A parent should be with their child if they are battling cancer.  And a child should be with their parents.

This isn't about cancer.  It's about a 10 year old American citizen leaving the country when her parents got deported.   I'm sure they have cancer doctors in Mexico though.
