ICE arrested a 6-year-old boy with leukemia at immigration court
tpr.orgNot like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
The New Colossus, Emma Lazarus, 1883
if this boy misses his treatments wouldn't that also mean that the 8th amendment is being violated?
The amendments mean nothing when there is abject, depraved lawlessness. The regime decides who have "rights" and who doesn't like pardoning bank fraudsters and violent insurrectionists while abusing poor people.
>The mother brought her two children to the immigration court on May 29 expecting to continue to make a case for asylum after fleeing Honduras because of threats of violence.
If someone threatens me with violence, can I go live in any country I want and have my expensive disease treated?
I think you should reasonably to be able to expect to seek peace and support in the country that created the unstable situation for you in the first place, yes.
At any rate the effect of these asylum seekers on the hospital system in the U.S. pales in comparison to the private equity vampires stripping it for parts while getting abject dummies like you to blame "the migrants."
According to the administration, just another terrorist rounded up.
A boy with leukemia very likely won't live to adulthood and will be a burden on society. We want and need the healthiest, the brightest, the strongest for both their generation's sake and that of succeeding ones.
I'm going guess you're being sarcastic, but just in case anyone else here takes this nugget seriously, leukemia is one of the cancers out there that has seen the most spectacular improvements in treatment across the last few decades. No, most kids that get it don't die young. It's all the opposite.
Not being sarcastic. And kids with leukemia die earlier than kids w/o: leukemia is not a "super power". Quit being silly.
FINALLY, someone I can agree with. With the birthright citizenship now in play, I say we should expatriate everyone in tech as well! Now that code can be written by LLMs, tech workers will just be drain on the economy.
If one don't have the heart to see the basic decency of not imprisoning a terminally ill child... I'm not sure there is anything they couldn't be convinced to do.
