    What good is your "morality" once there isn't any more money or resources to save everyone? Honest question. Do you have any savings? Do you own an Iphone any premium electronics? You're just a hypocrite since any extra money you spend on yourself should be going towards making the lives of those less fortunate as yourself, better. Your morality is subjective since I don't think YOU should have anything more than these poor kids we're "murdering". You should be giving them EVERYTHING you have. If you don't, then you're a bad person.

    You providing room and board for any illegals? If not, you're not moral enough. Sorry. ;)

    Any one who does support the sending back of dying children then is a moral failure of a human being.

    Nothing else.

    The neighbors should ignore such a person and not let their children play with or date them, because when they marry, there will be moral deficiencies in their children.

    If such people work for you, fire them.

    If such people teach at schools, go to the school board.

    Make their lives miserable, and yet none of that will equal that of a dying children.

    For shame.

    This sounds like just the thing that liberals should crowd fund instead of putting the burden of illegal aliens on the whole populace...

    LOS ANGELES — Maria Isabel Bueso was 7 years old when she came to the United States from Guatemala at the invitation of doctors who were conducting a clinical trial for the treatment of her rare, disfiguring genetic disease. The trial was short on participants, and thanks to her enrollment, it eventually led the Food and Drug Administration to approve a medication for the condition that has increased survival by more than a decade.

    Government money is not used for this, Dispondent. Your remarks clearly reveal you do not understand what is happening. Read #207 above, please.

    Try reading the original article. Under this program these aliens can use Medicaid, which is tax payer funded. You ignorance is astounding. The programs involved also were deferring deportation, you don't deport people here legally. You folks appear to have no understanding of the overall program nor the damage it is doing to this country...

    These are invited guests, and the funding at the hospitals are not government money. You need to read and think.

    Your people seem to have no grasp of how this program operated, and it is doing no damage to this country. Good heavens.

    I was talking that the programs at hospital are not government-sponsored or run. Some are concerned about twelve children now who have been granted permission to have their lives saved. The programs are free of charge at the hospitals. The regulations do permit, "The policy change will affect at least a dozen children receiving treatment at Boston hospitals and potentially thousands of additional immigrants across the country, according to lawyers and advocates. All had been granted “medical deferred action,” a special status that allows immigrants to remain in the country legally, receive Medicaid, and work while they receive treatment for dire health conditions."

    As if we the US and its citizens cannot easily afford the program.

    So the bottom line is that the patient is still going to die and the family will go broke trying to buy the medication. Who benefits? The drug company. Sometimes it is just better to have a quick death.

    Please read, wyrd. The child may live, the cost is borne by donations and gifts for medication, so the family and child benefits.

    You clearly do not understand this issue.

    African immigration sky-rocketed with the adoption of the 1870 Naturalization Act.

    The drug company benefits by bringing in people to experiment on to develop expensive drugs to treat their medical conditions. The patients will still die or get other serious complications from the drugs. It is just a scam because the drug company gets test subjects at no cost and it gets to reap the profits. If it was kind-hearted it would give the patients the drugs for free. Heck, in some instances, the drug companies probably create the medical disorder in the first place.

    You are free to act charitably toward these children if that is what your heart tells you to do. Where do you get the idea that you are entitled to sit in judgement on the charitable acts of others? There is nothing charitable about demanding someone else give something to another. If you want to act charitably, then YOU give of what you earned to a worthy cause, like this one, if it's on your heart.

    But running this through government workers? What a waste. You are much better off donating directly.

    Never have a government worker do what you can do yourself.

    How much have you donated recently to these causes?

    Or are you a moral failure as well?

    Not all of them, go read the original article. We have our own children that can use this medical attention. There is no benefit to the US to spend this time, money, and resources on foreigners. You pretend this is just about a few people in private programs, but you ignore all the rest, like why they would deports someone here legally. Oh wait, they wouldn't, you can only deport people here illegally. So either once again, you are ignorant or being disingenuous, either way, perhaps this really isn't the topic for you...

    Why do you want to be sick for years before you die? Do you think you will get a gold star for your suffering?

    Wyrd, what the families and the children are wanting is not your business.
