US denies young Mexican visa for transplant treatment in US http://a.msn.com/...
I started to write about this yesterday. I wanted to wait to see if this poor young man
Can come to the Mayo clinic so they can save his life. He needs a heart and lung transplant. Money has been raised for traveling expenses.
Today I find nothing that says he is coming. Red tape may cost him his life. The fact that
He is a Mexican citizen should mean absolutely nothing. I don't read that many Mexican
Citizens are asking to come for a transplant. I read of only one. Maybe his family can sneak
Him over the border. I am being sarcastic.We should get him here as soon as possible.
I believe there is a fund somewhere to pay for his transplant. If I am wrong, a fund should be started here in America and Mexico.Morality and decency seek to have vanished from our country.Mexican Americans and all of us should be furious.
When a situation presents a life or death issue, Life should always win. Death isn't fair
If the money or a visa could offer life. Pretend this is your child. How would you feel if red tape and indifference might kill him or her?
It's important to be involved in issues larger than ourselves. I plan to call SenatorMurray
And ask for her help. She and her staff have helped three Veterans I know. Everyone
knows the saying," You can't help all of the people all of the time, but you can help
some people some of the time."
Yours for a better World.
-The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown;
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway;
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's
When mercy seasons justice.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, The Merchant of Venice
