If the child of an undocumented worker had a life threatening condition, would you recommend treatment be denied in a hospital because the parents cannot pay, even though the child would certainly die? If the person is here, and cannot get the same treatment in his/her host country, would you make the same call? Is that child's life worth less than an American child's life?
How is this better or worse than the thousands of Americans who seek medical treatment in 2nd world nations because the treatment there is cheaper? How is this better or worse than the millions of women who have or want abortions knowing they cannot financially support a child they conceived, regardless of the means? Is it sustainable to mandate every child conceived be born when more children forces a poverty stricken family to often sacrifice the well-being of other children or seek employment outside of the host country?
Does compassion really take a back seat to money in the US? Are you ok with this?
