Actually I was just drawing the parallel as to how many around her think that the legal status of a child whom is born on American soil doesn’t matter since there parent may not have legal status or are only here on a temporary basis.
Yet in this case the parents have legal status and the child is in violation of her conditional stay. What differences apply here that has garnered so much pro-sentiment and why is it that others are not afforded such advocacy or compassion?
Very interesting...

Okay, so here's the thing: People are sympathetic to her because, even though they are patriotic U.S. citizens, they aren't happy to see their government impose an evil and unamerican regulation on someone. (probably a regulation, not a law) If this girl did something that most people feel was wrong or deleterious to the country, they wouldn't support her. But most U.S. Americans don't want to take this, and they certainly don't want it forced on anyone. Most U.S. Americans don't like it when they see their government doing something Big Brotherish or Soviet. If it were a vaccine for a communicable disease, especially someone coming from a high-risk area, they might support it. But, she's even been living in this country for most of her life. No one sees her not taking Gardasil as a threat to their wellbeing. (Except for pharma executives) Here's another thing you might thing about: You're talking about this matter in the MIDDLE OF A DEBATE OVER WHETHER THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD TAKEOVER OUR HEALTH. And you are promoting the government owns our health position. Gee, are you really surprised your argument is not popular. These potential citizens are being put through the same thing that will happen to all of us, if this passes. So, yeah, people are very sympathetic to someone going through what they see themselves going though soon. And we don't want for potential citizens, what we don't want for ourselves.
I realize you are on the pro-Obamacare side, but it's not popular here on FR.
I would rather have new citizens like this girl who will actually stand up for the right thing, than a the bleating sheep that Tempest apparently wants to become citizens. We already have enough sheep here.
