The change was not made public and members of the public were not given a chance to provide comment before it went into effect. Families simply received letters telling them they had 33 days to leave.
“I don’t know how they expect parents to pull their children from hospital beds, disconnect them from lifesaving treatments and go some place where they are know they are going to die," said Marino."But that is what they are telling them to do.”that families who have applied for the medical deferments include a girl with an eye malignancy, a girl with cerebral palsy and the father of three children — who are American citizens — who has a terminal liver illness.
Rep. Ayana Pressley, D-Mass., cited in the Thursday call the case of Samuel, a five-year-old boy from Brazil. She said he is unable to eat solid food and without care at Boston Children’s Hospital will not be able to receive the nutrients he needs to live. The American Immigration Lawyers Association called on the USCIS to reverse the policy change. It has asked people to contact elected leaders to change it.
What an innaccurate headline. You’re just trying to trick folks into believing your version of a story. Sad.
AronNeal7 You obviously don't care about the AMERICAN children that are homeless and starving.
All children with life-threatening illnesses? Or - Just those that traveled hundreds of miles on foot with an adult to illegally enter the U.S. Some specificity would be helpful.
just want to know who is footing the medical bill.
Then why would they make a life threatening journey by foot? Why didn’t their home countries provide healthcare for everyone?
The USA is an evil country filled with evil racists and the worst evil health care in the world. Send this person to Cuba where they’ll be happy.
ISN’T THIS SICK? 7,000 immigrant children ordered deported without going to court
This is horrible. They were granted permission to stay and are now being told that promise is no good. America has been laid low.
The GOP are filthy disgusting villians
Fakest of the fake, enemy of the American people.
I believe in Karma. Someday Trump will get his.
Their home country can treat them. Tired of us being responsible for everything bad that happens to people breaking our laws.
Bloody fool, you need to treat them
LET THE COURTS DECIDE. THAT COULD TAKE TIME
Your lying.
The Democrats ought to be drug tested. They are a complete hot bloody mess. Come 2020 Donald J. Trump will win the election on immigration.. Any sane American is not gonna stand for open borders. The Democrats will never ever learn from there mistakes.
Putting them in cages would be too obvious.
Insanity is the only word to describe this soul less ignoramous!!
Liars.
The problem is;There is no medical deferred action immigration law. Foreign nationals come to the US under travel visas and never apply for immigration status. Congress needs to create a New medical deferred action immigration law in order to resolve this issue.
Revolting
So? Why should the US taxpayer pay for their treatment. If you do not have a right to be in the US you do not. Being sick is does not give you any extra rights, in fact it makes the deportation even more important. We are not talking about emergency care that needs to be done now
What's wrong staying in their home country and getting medical attention there? The illegal alien parents risk the chance for their children to die sneaking into this country, then have the audacity to sue to the United States.
So cruel & evil. Heartless.
NBC = Nothing But Crap
then get a job and get healthy
We have Americans going bankrupt over medical bill .Why should they get free medical? I understand human decency but When was America ever decent? Crickets... our human rights always sucked..
This is a new low for You are destroying America.
But the Taliban is welcome to visit.
We can transport them to a hospital in their home country
sick and evil
This is so terrible!
Don’t you realize we have elderly, cancer ridden, children, all United States citizens in need of medication or care as well?
CarolNBC4 Trump, himself, is a life-threatening illness so he should go first...
Another black eye for USA . Shows the world how hate full TRUMP really is!
I really do hope there’s a special place in hell. Unfortunately they will have to start enlarging it because under Trump the number of haters keeps growing.
All responsible Read this carefully
NBC's misleading headline should read, 'Pressure groups seek to allow illegal immigrants with life threatening illnesses to stay in US.'
I mean, you don't want them infecting everyone else. This is a no bra6
Does it get any lower than this
After the children are treated they are sent Home. Same as it has always been. Just another fake news story from the Democrats.
There is a special place in Hell saved for all who participated in this.
'Americans are responsible for the health care costs in perpetuity of anyone who successfully violates US immigration law'
Republicans get excited
Trump gets eviler by the second. Impeach the bastard.
Don’t mention they’re here illegally... journalisming at its finest... 🤡🐸🤦🏽♂️
That scam is well-known in the UK. Half of the 'refugees' have a hard-to-disprove 'life threatening illness'. Just chuck them over the border.
I guess next he'll open up 'special showers' to the immigrants and minorities.
What's the difference who they are? If they are illegal they should be deported. People with disabilities have to go through hell to go through legal channels why should these illegals do it better?
FLOTUS is this part of your be best program too? You two deserve one another, plus a jail sentence 🖕
Land of the free.
Beneath low - sheer evil!
That's so Christ like. 😂😂
BS!
And you wonder why we call you fake news.
How low can Trump go?
Do evangelicals think this is a Christian thing to do?
Great cost saving idea. Now if can just cut Medicare benefits, people will die earlier and we won't have to pay out their Social Security benefits. 😁
The white house administration can now be called, 'MURDER, INC.' Aren't we proud, America? Now we have killers in our so called government. If we remain silent, blood will also be on our hands .
Oh, you mean the people who are here illegally? The ones who broke federal immigrations laws to get here?
Send the sick to sanctuary cities and let their tax payers pay. Burden should not be put on American taxpayers. We need to support our own.
Assanine Donald!!
Ofcourse they are. To them POC are not human beings. Dont know why trump hates them so much. If it wasnt for hispanics trump wouldn't have the employees needed to clean his resorts.
The depth of his cruelty is beyond belief. This Country is better than this. VOTE them all out
Totally false biased report by Trump hating NBC. Nobody is ripping children from hospital beds and telling them to find their own way home.
10 to 50 million South American children have life threatening illnesses
'Immigrants add to our society, they aren't burdens' 'My god how can you deport those poor public charges we'll have to pay millions to support' Same people
That's what happens when elect the Devil
they can continue there medical care in their country
That may be a reason why they are coming to America. May be a death sentence.
And trump is to blame for the hurricane. Ha ha
Good. I don’t want to pay for illegal’s healthcare
i think that what he's doing is just byond words,they will nver make it if they were deported back.its just as same as killing the poor children.
So, they come here illegally and expect free treatment... but we don’t even take care of our own people... foh... 🤡🐸🤦🏽♂️
That is real compassionate realDonaldTrump
Australia's leftist/Dems are telling refugees to hurt themselves to gain entry into Australia.Yes this is fact. Now it's happening in the US
....'INJUSTICE DOES NOT HAVE 'THE LAST WORD' ... POPE FRANCIS
That's total bullshit. The media makes me sick with the amount of lies they spew. Seriously it's pathetic.
Sounds like the fake news part ll
BeBest
This is a very very cruel policy. Anti- immigration is one thing, inhumanity is quite another. Fascism is the same thing. First, it was 'us first' and then 'let's herd them together and exterminate them' next.
Former German style!
Surprised?
Psychological warfare programming people. What NBC news does everyday is so bad for the country.
Just include an emotional support, service animal for the trip back home. They'll be fine.
So Nazi of them. When do they just load them into trucks w/gas?
Is using emotional manipulation of the American taxpayer to hurt the USA by making Americans feel badly for problems that are not ours hoping to guilt us into footing the bill for illegals health issues instead of the country from whence they came?
Illegal is illegal so goodbye
Trump.and his supporters are vicious monsters who love to hurt and kill children.
Did they enter 'Legally'?
Doctors in California would claim that every illegal immigrant has a life-threatening illness if this were allowed to continue.
No sicks no browns no blacks no gays no women who don’t know their place
Somebody please stop this what is that's your child
M M yahu ben ona ne yapacağımı bu durumları inisiyasyonda zaten baba fingo😂😂🦍Mmmmm
Frear mongaring Network
Disgusting!!!!!
It's not enough for Trump to cage immigrant kids anymore. Now, he wants to kill them.
Nice framing, fake news.
There’s no bottom to Trump’s cruelty. Legal or not, these people need medical care that is unavailable in their own countries. Trump wants to send them back to die. Why? We have always been humanitarian to anyone who needed our help, even our enemies. We can’t let them just die!
RealDLHughley Thats crazy.
RealDLHughley whitemexicano7 😭
RealDLHughley Mexico has universal healthcare. I’ve been told for years now universal healthcare is the only path. He should be wanting to go back.
RealDLHughley Ok. Wait. What the fuck?
WhyAmericaSucks
Over simplification of the policy. HARDWORKING American taxpayers should not be financially responsible for foreigners medical care
nobody fault but the parentsput their children in that situation.Breaking the law of USA citizenship.
The party that celebrates killing babies with scalpels because they have life threatening ailments and special needs is angry over deporting children. We Deport. You guys Abort.
Sure and you are fake news
People with disease used to be stopped before they were able to unlawfully enter the country! If preventing diseased individuals from entering the country is President Trump's goal, I support it 100%!!
Endless Cruelty...
Trump admin have no souls.
msDNC supports stealing healthcare money from americans
Is this another tRUMPpp canard? Or just put out by tRUMPpp to get the media’s hair on fire.
You dumfaqs don’t want to take care of homeless ... so what’s the point ? BUILDTHEWALL
THIS IS A LIE....We have kids in centers with problems and they are been take care of and no extradit.; even kids that have been trafficked and we r harboring them... don’t make a propaganda to help the democrats to obstruct the law...plz
He thinks that would be a great deterrent. Wonder what God thinks of us now:
Every day this President and his administration (what's left of it) figure out a way to be more cruel and inhuman. Resist!
They can thank all of those illegals that are taking advantage of our country.
Pretty soon they will deport homeless people.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭heartbreaking
Orange man should be ashamed to discriminate against those who are ill. Deport Trump at once to Africa
I hope someone finally does something about this. These poor families need all our help and support
Because we have American children in need of healthcare before a single cent is spent on illegal invaders
WWJD? um...ok
