Brothers Elfego and Lorenzo Arroyo each suffers from a deadly liver disease. But despite the urgency of their situation, the Chicago residents have struggled to receive organ transplants.
The Arroyo brothers are undocumented immigrants and lack insurance, friends and relatives say. Like others in their situation, they have been denied care that could increase their chances of survival due to their residency status.
"We know there are thousands of Latinos and (non-)Latinos with no documents who are facing the same situation," Rev. Jose Landaverde said Monday during a news conference at Our Lady of Guadalupe Angelican Catholic Mission in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood.

They should return to their home country to get on THAT "life saving liver transplant" waiting list.
Send them back where they came from, let the socialist in their own country take care of them.
Undocumented = Illegal = Criminal.
If I were really feeling intolerant I might suggest rounding them up for the harvest, Organ Harvest that is! ;-)
Plenty of Americans suffering from a shortage of donor organs.
I think this is meant to be a sob story that garners sympathy for the plight of people who are "undocumented". But it just infuriates me and makes me want to deport every single one of the SOBs. I see them as an invading army which fights to conquer this nation without actually wearing a military uniform. Such people, under the Geneva Convention, do not deserve kind treatment.
sick? Needs a liver? Here illegally?
(start cold hearted SOB)
stabilize him... Ship back to home country to deal with.
(end cold hearted SOB)
Hey.. I didn’t say let him die in the streets.
I am sorry they are sick. To solve the problem go back to their home country and take advantage of their free health care.
equals dead americans equals deal legal residents.

One word -—— China.
I am ambivalent on the matter. On the one hand, I wish they could get the transplants. On the other, it would be grossly unfair and a miscarriage of justice for them to get ahead of legal residents on the waiting list.
I have an idea!!
I like it! Ship the hosers up to the Great White North, eh?
How dare their native homelands deny them basic coverage in their Socialist utopian hellholes.
But it sounds like this is Boosh’s fault.
They think it is free, and they deserve it. It’s not free: the average cost is over half a million dollars for a liver transplant. The fact that an American citizen or legal immigrant who has insurance loses that liver is another issue. With a limited supply of health care resources, the system of prioritizing who gets what will get more contentious.
Indeed. Mexico has socialized medicine. If that’s where they illegally migrated from, why not go home for treatment?
Yes, David Crosby of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young got a liver transplant, possibly jumping ahead of others in line to get it, and I know it gave him a "new lease on life," albeit he will have to be on immune-suppressant drugs for the rest of his life.
But why did Mr. Crosby need a liver transplant in the first place? In large part because of his lifestyle of boozing and drug-taking, which is hard on your body.
You would think that the recipients of such expensive treatment ought to pay at least a part of the cost of that treatment (or perhaps take up a collection for voluntary donations). It certainly does not come for free, even if the family of the organ donor isn't allowed to receive compensation.
Frankly, I'm going to try to live a clean enough life that I can avoid having to get on a transplant list. IMO it's kind of a Faustian bargain anyway, because even if you are lucky enough to get a needed organ, you must thereafter stay on immune-suppressant drugs to reduce the chance of your body rejecting the transplanted organ. Many of these people are in and out of the hospital for the rest of their lives on a regular basis, for however long that is. I for one don't have that kind of money, nor do I wish to become that familiar with hospitals.

Hey, no problem. Hop back over the border, third Maytag box on the left. Pedro’s All Night Bar, Grill and Transplant Shop.
Ask for the clean surgical instruments. A few pesos more, but worth it. If he’s out of livers, I recommend the spleen.
The headline brought the image to my mind of two Mexicans knife-fighting in an arena to win a new liver.
I can’t understand the folks that want to live forever, getting Frankensteined and paying a fortune to try to grab a few more years. I’m weary of this world already, and I’m only 33. When my organs start failing, I think I will thank God and try to cross a few things off the bucket list before I get called home.
Trying to be Christian,,,but I feel as if my politicians (which I want jailed) have unleased a poor brown bomb on us and our country will never be the same again.
Sorry...I meant (whom I want jailed).
You didn’t, I will.
Flood a country with poor non-citizens who have no allegiance to its flag, its constitution, or its founding documents, no cultural or historical bonds, no respect for it laws or historical foundations, who REFUSE to assimilate, have no healthy distrust of an overreaching federal government, and continually tend to rely on that same government to take care of them, AND then give those same non-citizens voting rights...
That non-citizen bloc and whoever represents them would become a major political power in a foreign country. And that seems to be what is happening now.
For the democrats it is all about votes and power. Like the thousands of despots and dictators before them throughout mankind's history, they have to RULE over people, and it doesn't matter WHO those people may be. You can't RULE a free, armed citizenry, who are culturally tied to the land, and don't need or want whatever trinkets you can give them, while robbing them blind.
Therefore, replace them with someone you can rule.
If they are mestizo the likelihood of finding a donor match for most organs is very poor due to the vast number of indigenous ethnic groups in Mexico and Central America. They can get a partial liver donation from a family member, though.
Sorry guys. Americans first. Really, I’m sorry....
Good Luck...
ROFLMAO! Yeah, I can see that too. Something else for the gangs to fight about!

they’re here illegally? deport them.

Good one! LMAO!

“...have unleased a poor brown bomb on us and our country will never be the same again.”
The infestation continues to grow and soon real Americans will be eaten alive by them.
It is a Stalinist LIE to call these illegal immigrants “undocumented”.
They hold “papers” that are fraudulent. Some are genuine driver’s licenses sold to them by corrupt workers within the Department of Public Safety. One woman who was murdered after she was caught selling some to Islamists even sold SEVERAL different identities to one man.
They commit identity theft and the public is supposed to be compassionate.
Now they are stealing livers that by rights belong to Americans.
