An undocumented man from Guatemala who has leukemia postponed FREE chemotherapy because he was afraid to go to the hospital.

Fixed it.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

...immigrants who lack legal authorization...

No matter how much you hate gaslight presstitutes, you don't hate them enough.

[Luke21]

The LA Times should shove their violins.

[dowcaet]

The LA Slimes has been publishing one illegal immigrant sob story after another. The paper is an absolute disgrace, an apologist and protector of the corrupt Democrat Party that has ruined California.

[Gay State Conservative]

My goodness...I can hardly hold back the tears!

[joshua c]

i wish all of these people the best of luck....

...in their home countries

AMF!

give self deportation a chance

[HollyB]

I recall going to get admitted to the hospital for my leukemia treatments… driving into the city during the violent protests. Armed police with long guns protected the hospital from thugs. Nobody gave too craps nor did the msm interview me about it.

If they were Americans they would know : Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

[chuckb87]

They’re free to go back to their countries of origin and live in safety.

The Mother of All Illegal Alien Sob Stories

They can all achieve “safety” by simply moving home

[NorthMountain]

A Mexican grandmother packed most of her belongings into boxes, in case she is deported.

Deport yourself, Abuela. Turn and face south, then start walking. Mexico is that way.

[HYPOCRACY]

They need to publish all the names and addresses of these poor immigrants so we know where to send our donations.

“Living in lockdown”

They’re almost there. Soon.

The next stage is self deportation.

Give the Trump administration credit, it’s a brilliant strategy.

[Tennessee Nana]

1. Go back home to Guatemala and get treatment there...

2. Good be ready to go Mexican grandmother, dont wait to be deported, just go back home.

3. They werent Christians and they didnt intend to be...no repentance there...

[bk1000]

Is the intention here to illicit sympathy for the law scoffers?
I am unable to GAD.

The idea of a news broadcast once was to find someone with information and broadcast it. The idea now is to find someone with ignorance and spread it around.

[philman_36]

Does he think people are stupid and can't find him?

Rev. Carlos Rincon is the CEO and president of Instituto de Avance Integral Latino Community Development Corporation. Carlos Rincon has been pastoring Centro de Vida Victoriosa church in Los Angeles for the last 35 years and has developed strong ties with the community.

[TheDon]

I wonder if they realize how happy these stories make MAGA folk?

I’ve been wanting this aggressive enforcement of our immigration laws for over 40 years!

[pacificus]

I don’t get the “hide and seek” for real.

Pack up, and GTFO!!!!!

LA Times lamenting all their Democrat voter base leaving SoCal.

[Bigg Red]

Get out of my country!
