Yes the situation stinks. And yes we should vent our anger at our elected officials who have allowed our country to be overrun with illegals.
However, this poor teen is truly a victim in this case.
She just lost all of her immediate family and the people who made the decision to bring her her illegally are now dead.
There are certain cases, this being one of them, where we need to have some compassion.
They brought her here legally. They had the visas needed to come into the U.S. and work. They overstayed their visas. That was the illegal part.
It would be easier to have compassion if the church members were seeking donations to help with her medical costs vs. sending the bodies of her family members back to Brazil. That part rather sticks in the craw.
The FL hospital and taxpayers are going to take a major hit while the church members’ concern is focused on getting bodies back to Brazil, a country her parent left 12 years ago, and refused to return to while alive. Why can’t they be buried in Marietta, GA, where they lived, founded a church, and raised their daughter?
The cost of shipping a body overseas is prohibitive. Back in the early 70s a friend’s brother died while in Europe. The cost then, in 1970s dollars, was nearly $2K. By way of comparison, airfare then for a live passenger flying the same route was closer to $200-300 round trip.
