How do you feel about a US citizen child recovering from brain cancer being removed to Mexico?
The child was born to undocumented parents that also have four other children, three of which are US citizens.
The parents were detained at a Texas immigration checkpoint whilst on their way to a checkup after the brain surgery. They were ultimately deported to Mexico with the choice of leaving their children in the US (likely placed into the foster care system) or take the children with them. The parents had been in the US since 2013.
How do you feel about this story?
Should whichever authority authorized their deportation have exhibited some compassion or leniency towards this family?
