There's a difference between not turning people away and providing life sustaining care indefinitely. Obviously, the mother has not found another hospital willing to take the baby, because the prognosis is the same. I found this on another (pro-life)website:

However, hospitals in Texas, Oklahoma, California and New York have all turned down taking Emilio as a patient and Michael Regier, a Seton Hospital Network spokesman, says the medical center tried to find other places without success...."We have worked very hard with hospitals in Texas and hospitals out of state and New York, on the West Coast, not only to say, 'Would you take a transfer of Emilio with this kind of condition?' but also, 'Are there other things we haven't done?'" he told KENS.

Let the child go be with god.

I agree that it is a heartwrenching situation. I also know that in 48 other states, Emilio’s family could not be forced to terminate life support.

Have you found anything to substantiate the claim that he is in the country illegally?

Hopefully you'd be more concerned if this was your child...
