Re “Plan to deport sick children stirs outcry”: Who are we? This can’t be possible. This policy is the final rabbit hole of immorality.
The government of the United States is about to deport families of seriously ill children receiving treatment in this country. Many of these children will die if deported.
It is the last straw, as Donald Trump and Stephen Miller qualify as the “undertakers” of America’s conscience.
Children with complex and life-threatening medical conditions are being treated here under a policy known as “deferred action,” through which they can remain for medical and other humanitarian reasons. Now the administration is ending this policy.
My mother was a physician and surgeon in New York City. Her skills changed the lives of many young people. I am her daughter, with two sons and grandchildren of my own. Now, I must explain to them what we have become as a nation under the aegis of Trump and Miller: “Send me only healthy children to our shores. All others should die at home.”
I ask again, Who are we? America, what is your answer?
