A Detroit man said he wasn't allowed to bring his mother back to America after she was visiting family in Iraq.

Mike Hager told news station WJBK in Detroit his 75-year-old mother, Naimm,a fell ill during the visit to Iraq, prompting him to return to America.

No your mother died because you put an elderly and apparently ill woman on a plane a flew her half way around the world. How come if Iraq is such a hell hole that you need to be a refugee from you and your family are vacationing there? In the accompanying picture it's nice to see that mom is flying first class. Hope she isn't on SSI, Section 8, Medicaid, EBT or any other taxpayer funded program.

[Lopeover]

Agreed. She probably wanted a final visit.

BTTT

His mother died because she was born.

As Warren Zevon said, “Life’ll kill ya.”

[Sacajaweau]

The earlier version said he was a vet....which he was not.

She was 75. If she was so sick...why didn't he stay there with her....seeing that he knew she would die if she went back to the hospital??

Or did he just have to get her signature on a will??

Yup....Perry Mason fan!!

A troll posted this earlier but neglected to provide a real working link.
The troll also claimed the man was a veteran.
I note that there is no mention in this one of his supposed veteran status.

You have pointed out how our printed, fiat currency courtesy of the Federal Reserve, and massive debt are the bedrock of progressive-left government

They can run 1000 different social-engineering schemes because money is no object.

[Tennessee Nana]

It was your decision to take Mom out of the country...

[NEMDF]

Well, she’s dead now, so her SSI, Section 8, Medicaid, EBT, other taxpayer funded benefits, and voting will just be picked up by her son/other family members.

This whole “refugees taking a vacation back to the war zone” issue is going to come up again. We are being scammed

[BlueLancer]

Agreed ... if they're "fleeing refugees" then they have absolutely no reason to go back to the country that they were fleeing from. If that do, that's prima facie evidence that they're safe enough to return there on a permanent basis.

This isn’t “America’s Got Talent”, you libs aren’t going to win because you have the saddest “backstory” in front of four bleeding-heat, liberal, judges.

...his 75-year-old mother, Naimm,a fell ill during the visit to Iraq, prompting him to return to America.

This sentence makes no sense to me. If your mother became ill, why would you leave her? I wouldn't.

[snarkytart]

Not buying this unverified story about why she died and what she was sick of anyway. You could drop dead waiting in line at the bank.

Also, notice how this is being circulated the day after the mother of a vet stood up to Pelosi last night regarding her son being killed by an illegal? How many more people have been victims of violent crime committed by illegals that the dems and left want to protect?

[I want the USA back]

So now they’re going to accuse Trump of murder.

[ontap]

I was wondering how long it would take for these bullsh!t stories to start!!!

[Road Warrior ‘04]

She got sick and HE returned?

Side note: Yesterday I heard an Ad Council radio ad about accepting refugees. What a coincidence!
