Denver woman nearly dies every week before she can get medical treatment
Fox 31 ^ | 2 Aug 2018

Posted on 08/02/2018 2:59:32 PM PDT by DUMBGRUNT

The 51-year-old mother of five is in kidney failure, a result of her Type 2 diabetes.

Lucia (whose last name has been withheld at her request because of her family’s immigration status) is one of an estimated 6,500 undocumented immigrants in the United States who are living with end-stage renal disease,

She feels grateful for the limited care she receives here in the United States, because she is acutely aware of the reality that she would not be entitled to any care in her native Mexico and would almost certainly have died by now.

I would suggest that she move from Denver to California immediately .... they speak your language, offer free Calaid, and throw in food stamps and other entitlements. Might even get to vote to increase the take.

If they were ‘’good family people’’ they wouldn’t be breaking into my country as if they have a God given right to do and demanding that myself and my fellow American tax payers pay their way through life.

Mexico is kinda like the US. It’s a normal distribution of good people and bad people, and then you’ve got narcos who run the country and you have to do whatever they say.

For example, this last election cycle 300 people running for office were killed. 300.

Did it hit the papers here? No.

If 3 people got killed running for office in the US, there would be an outrage - unless they’re republican, in which case that’s apparently fine. #Scolise #Paul

I’m sorry but after decades of Mexicans destroying my country I’ve no love for them. I live in New Jersey and this state funds education, police and fire and hospitals through property taxes. Every time Mexican illegals put their kids in a public school here or go to a hospital ER my property taxes go up.

Don’t be mad at Mexicans for that. Be mad at the Americans that let it happen.

If the roles were reversed and you were tired of living in a place where 300 candidates were murdered and someone invited you to the unicorn farm with streets paved with gold, you’d go too.

Ivanka Trump literally skied out of Czechoslovakia to escape Communism.

Blame Americans.

Sorry. I put the blame squarely on Mexico and it’s people. They need to put the energy they expend destroying America into fixing their country. The success of The United States is not the reason for the failure of Mexico. The bigotry of low expectation isn’t going to help Mexicans. How long can we put up with this before these arrogant beggars end up turning America into the craphole Mexico is?

Hence the wall and deportation.

Just because you broke into my house, doesn’t mean you have the right to live in it. I get it, and I agree.

However, the Americans that set this off need to burn. They did it on purpose, and it wasn’t to help Mexicans. It was to destroy America.

All the more infuriating when you realize Mexico is the richest country in Latin America and per capita, has more billionaires living in it then any Western nation.
