It's right here if you'd bother.

An Iraqi child sent to the U.S. for treatment after suffering serious burns at a refugee camp has reportedly been separated from his family by President Trump's executive order barring travelers from seven Muslim-majority nations.
One-year-old Dilbreen is due to undergo surgery this later this week, reports CBS Boston. His parents had obtained visas to travel to the U.S. to be with him, but were told the permits were suddenly revoked. Attorneys are now trying to help the family get a special waiver so they might arrive in time for their child's operation, scheduled Feb. 5.
There are several exceptions that should and could have accompanied this ban that did not.

It's not this story per se that's troubling, it's the fact that none of you can seem to understand that these actions have consequences and pushing crap through without thorough thought creates dreadful unintended human consequences.

After being so critical of obamacare one would have thought you'd learn something about that, but no. It's your side so it doesn't matter whether we learn any lessons from the past or not.

Who cares. He got his treatment which is NOT our responsibility in the first damn place.

The parents had already received permission to come, this was just sloppy and unnecessary.

The boy was sent to the US on our dime in order to save his life. For a refugee child in desperate need, he has pretty much hit the lottery.

He's at Shriners hospital, and the parents were going to stay at non profit accommodation.

How is that on your dime?

Actually Donald Gump is another good tag for this moron...who sets plans in place that are not researched, discussed with the experts or well thought out in any rational and logical way.

On second thought, Forrest Gump was actually a character with deep sympathy, loyalty and bravery so maybe we will have to be satisfied with Donald Dump, Twitler, Trumplethinskin and the various other befitting monikers for now.

I'm sure Trump knew this exact thing was going to happen, and did it on purpose.

I'm sure their were similar unintended consequences when 0bama signed his six month ban targeting Iraqis, back in 2011 too

What do you put the odds that he was initially treated in Iraq by US military doctors and then flown on a military transport to the US?

I'm guessing the chance is around 70%.

Where do you put the odds?
