So now you concede they were never guaranteed permanent status.
100% agreed. Enforcing arbitrary deadlines is far more important than the literal lives of children.

That's the American way and what makes us the shining city on a hill we are today.

So he is all in favor of expensive care being provided to non-citizen children in a country where he doesn't pay the bills for it.

If you disagree, then you are a nazis -hitler -racist-kkk
The US does not have unlimited resources, you cant just say we have unlimited resources and create them - take a economics lesson.

So if you don't fall in line with what you think - you are (sic) "a nazis -hitler -racist-kkk".

Typical liberal, anyone that doesn't think what they think, must be bad - so to shut them up, must subject them to hateful name calling because can't articulate a more rational idea.

They are not in the country legally - by definition illegal aliens ARE illegal. They are not immigrants per federal law, they are classified as aliens. Also you can't request asylum for economic or health reasons under US or international rules - only political persecution for beliefs. Look it up!

The US can grant TEMPORARY status for treatment, but it is temporary - does not give legal residence. Should not be done unless can be paid for. Treatment should be done in home country - that is what organizations like doctors without borders are for.

Whatever happened to what is inscribed on the Statue of Liberty?

"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!"

He complains about the heartlessness of this administration and the Magats that support it.

Most Americans are wonderful people.

Some are not.

A Canadian is telling Americans that they should take in foreign children for medical treatment using american tax money. Wonderful!

Maybe i will tell my neighbor to start giving up their hard-earn money to a charity of my choice. If they refuse to obey my demand, i will call them a kkk-racist-nazis or "not womderful people"
