Have We No Decency?
The Trump Administration has, ‘willy-nilly’ decided to end a program that allowed immigrants who are here because of the medical treatment they, or their family member need to stay alive. Is not available anywhere else. No matter if they might die. Immigrants in this situation have been ordered to leave the country within 30 days.
The cruelty of this change of policy is monstrous! Imagine you have a child whose life saving treatment is only available here and without which your child will die. This means your deportation is a death sentence for your child.
What kind of cruel, evil sociopath would come up with such a proposal? Is this what we have come to? Hating ‘others’ so much we would condemn them or their children to death over a line on a paper map? Have we no honor left? Has this monster of a President sucked every last bit of integrity out of the American people along with our soul?
I want to believe we will reject this latest attempt at cruelty promulgated by this administration, hoping Americans would please say with a loud voice, No, enough is enough, and do it before this policy actually kills someone or their children! Let us wash at least this stain out before it becomes a permanent splotch on America’s tablecloth. One we must all look at it when we sit in November at our Thanksgiving table and we acknowledge the cruelty being done in our name!

The kind of sociopath that would work for Trump. I guarantee he himself is not this creative. I doubt he even knew the program existed before the press mentioned it. His greatest acheivment has been "draining the swamp" to expose some seriously ugly monsters

People suck. Prove me wrong.
That said, you'd think that any treatment only available here would be crowed about from the rooftops as proof that WE HAVE THE BEST HEALTHCARE SYSTEM EVER!!!

Don't blame me, I voted for HER.
With other Democrat volunteers, I register high school students to vote in September and April.
Vote Republicans out of office!

So did I! We need to get the poor and middle class to stop worrying about whether immigrants get something before Vets do or whoever! They try to pit us against one another and while we are fighting they are robbing the treasury! We could easily change all this but everybody has to vote! Without voter suppression and other shenanigans we would win no problem.
@Msgtthomyv I agree. The frenzy about immigrants, gays, abortion, religion, is all intended to drown-out any discussion of their piranha-like attack on our economy.
@Bobby9 20 years and 3 months retired! Every time you see an ad or picture talking about some group getting something before or instead of Veterans remember it is a trick to get you to worry about that group instead of those who are actually responsible.
They try to pit one group of financially struggling people against another group to distract you while they rob the country blind!
If you really want to turn things around how about Andrew Yang's proposal for a Universal Basic Income. Change the economic policy back.
Reagan and his boys gave us 'supply side economics' or 'trickle down' or as it was called then, Voo Doo economics. 40 years of giving huge tax cuts to the wealthy and shifting the cost of government to the poor and middle class. The wealthy get wealthier and the rest of us are only given enough to just get by! Putting Mr Yang's idea in place would get us back to basic economics, 'supply and demand". 'Trickle UP' economics would turn the world back right rather than upside down as it has been these last 40 years!
All of us on the lower end of the economic ladder should unite and create a new economy that includes all of us and not just the wealthy and connected!!!
