Sick American kids, yes.

Sick foreign kids, no.

But you are more than welcome to sponsor a sick foreign kid at your own expense though. It is a free country.

Why do lefties believe that American tax payers should be footing medical bills for everyone in the world? I totally understand the rationale of helping fellow Americans, but foreigners? Do they think money grow on trees?

There are plenty of "old greedy rich people" in the other countries these kids come from and they don't want to pay for it either. Idealistic "shoulds" don't work in the real world anywhere.

A I said earlier, it HAS been answered on MOST of the dozens of threads and hundreds of posts on the sibject.

We know you have read them because yall' responded to them.

Making new threads on that same issue over and over is not going to change anything.


I didn't start this thread.

Can you show me where any bleeding hearts answered these questions posed to them?

Once again, what RationalExpectations said regarding a different issue comes to mind:

"A progressive is someone who feels a great debt to society, which debt they will gladly repay with your money."

It doesn't matter, because neither you nor I can know. But we do know they were allowed into the country legally, and for 24 months. These children will die if their treatment can not be continued.

How cold-hearted can you get?

A lot of children in the world will die if they don't get necessary medical treatment. Maybe we should start sending Boeings to every corner of the planet to pick them up and drop them in the states to get medical treatment....right? US has unlimited resources and money. I am sure we can accommodate 1 billion something more people. No biggie


I commend your bleeding heart, but you don't live in reality.

Have you found a letter sending them home early? The letter in the article is for someone who requested an extension and were informed they would not receive an extension. Some have been here since 2013 and many have a life long, incurable condition. How long do you expect the US to keep them here?
