Yes, but @TamleeB does not seem to want to address the topic, which is this one child who is in US custody and who needs medical care.

I am good. Let’s face it this entire thread went elsewhere but I do find in fun that you point my post out, when the entire thread headed elsewhere. :ROFLMAO:

How so? Of course you can provide evidence in which even one above item you mentioned I have ever said, or referenced. Surely you can do better. If now, then I am really disappointed. Come on….do better. :ROFLMAO:

All you have to do is say, "Yes, I want ICE to provide all the medical treatment this child needs, because that's the humane and decent thing to do. Because we as a nation are capable of providing what might turn out to be live-saving care. Because I (that's you, @TamleeB) believe that this is what the Jesus of the New Testament would want and expect us to do."

Nah…..I don’t wish leukimia upon anyone. Can you show where I have. Surely you can provide MY words in which I said so?

She has addressed it. She wants the child to die.

Even a cursory reading of the thread makes this obvious.

A person who wants the sick child to live would support not deporting the child and would also support ICE's providing the medical/healthcare the child needs.

And here it is: @TamleeB acknowledges he/she/they doesn't give a damn whether an "illegal" child lives or dies, whether the USA hastens the child's death by depriving the child of cancer therapy.

How do we know this?

The poster says that "legal" children have first dibs on life-saving healthcare. And the poster @TamleeB refuses to say he/she/they wants ICE not to deport the sick child. Moreover, @TamleeB refuses to say he/she/they wants ICE to provide the needed cancer therapy while the child is in ICE custody.

Absolutely legal citizens of the United States of America should receive health care before illegal citizens. I have never said differently and I will continue to voice my opinion. Why would anyone not want our legal citizens to receive healthcare BEFORE illegal immigrants? If you struggle with my wanting OUR American citizens receiving healthcare BEFORE illegal citizens I don’t really care. I am good with my response and my stance.

Children are children.

Depriving them of possibly-life-saving treatments because they are "illegal" is a travesty of justice and, more importantly, of decency. Not to mention it violates what the New Testament Jesus taught us.

Skin color, legal status....one excuse for depriving a child of needed medical treatment is no worse than the other. They're both depraved.

Nah…..I could care less about skin color, but I do indeed care about legal status.

Again, whether you advocate depriving a child of needed medical care - cancer therapy! - on the basis of skin color or on the basis of legal status matters not one whit.

Because saying you're okay with depriving a child of badly-needed medical care is BAD, no matter what your "excuse".

I never one time mentioned “skin color”? You did. I clearly mentioned legal status. I don’t need to make an excuses. There are plenty children in our Country whom are legal citizens suffering every single day and needing medical care. I believe they should come first. Wouldn’t you want the children of our Country whom have parents that are legal citizens should be offered cancer treatments before those here illegally? If now, then WHY?

That the USA is a wealthy country that can afford to provide children with cancer the medical treatment they need is a given.

That you, on the basis of "legality", would deny children this life-saving medical care has been established.

That this kind of attitude is inhumane and indecent seems obvious to me. But to you, @TamleeB, this attitude does not seem to be inhumane or indecent.

I have no idea how you arrived at this position. Unfortunately, it seems to be one that is shared by far too many Americans.

There is no reasoning with this train of thought.

She doesn't care about uninsured American children needing cancer treatment.

It's an excuse to justify letting the brown child die.

Have you considered not incarcerating 6 year olds?

I am good with ALL of my responses and have no need to back away from my words. And if our Country is SO wealthy, then our own legal citizens should come first. That is all I am asking for. It appears that you struggle with that concept.
