Is anyone going to try to argue that cruelty isn't the point of this?
Trump Moves To Deport Sick Migrant Children From The US
Step by malicious step, the Trump administration is turning the American immigration system into an apparatus of appalling, intentional cruelty.
The latest case in point is a relatively small program known as “medical deferred action,” in which immigrants without legal status who are suffering from serious medical conditions are granted a reprieve from deportation so that they can have access to much-needed medical treatment in the United States.
Trump halted the program this month, threatening to deport these patients, including children with leukemia, muscular dystrophy, or cystic fibrosis
I believe in being tough on Illegal immigration but in this case I don't believe Trump is right as well. The kids are already here, so a better move would be to give them the care they need, then bill their country of origin for the cost of treatment. Or deduct it from the financial aid we are already sending.
