I hope so.
If the baby doesn’t make it which country will they choose? Which black congressWOMAN will say “If the kids wasn’t white...”
That’s a bill of attainder. Unconstitutional.
I’m sorry. This is a terrible precedent. Are we prepared to bring everyone here with issues that Britain refuses to pay for, make them citizens and pay for their healthcare? REALLY. I feel for this family, but I have a feeling there are many more Charlie Gards who will come out of the woodwork. If a private organization wants to bring them over and pay for them, I’ll donate money. But having the government do it and granting them citizenship. NO. NO NO NO.
Their concern is admirable. But this is very unconstitutional. And not only sets horrible precedent, it reinforces current precedent. This is more or less the same rationale that the Dems have been using for “refugees” from Syria and “immigrants” from Mexico.
Being an American Citizen didn’t save Terri Schaivo’s life!
A permanent resident is not a citizen.
Nonsense.
Unconstitutional and it opens up a can of worms bigger than Texas.
Very, very bad idea......use their own money not taxpayers.
What are they calling this legislation? The adopt every lost puppy dog on earth bill? I feel for these parents but this is a problem.
Certain people need to get their thoughts in order.
“See, this is just the sort of illegal-alien approval that shows Trump doesn’t keep his promises!” — Every liberal in America.
No. These are wrong. Let them come here for treatment on their dime, but no citizenship or residency. No lottery for parents with sick kid, our citizenship is not so cheap.
This kind of high profile case, now even for a foreign national, isn’t really good national stewardship on the part of these GOP congressmen.
If they personally want to fund further care for a profoundly brain damaged baby in another first-world country, that’s their business. But they shouldn’t be enacting legislation to get the US government and US taxpayers involved.
Their hearts are in the right place - their brains are not -— especially since they took oaths to uphold the Constitution, not make us the world’s welfare monitor. Public pressure is all they should engage in.
