This entire story is disturbing. Smuggled in illegally, here for 3 or more years, and still haven't bothered to learn any English? And now they've retained a malpractice attorney? I guess they knew enough English to do that!

And how would you feel if your child was on the list for years to get a transplant and got bumped out of the way by Duke to give someone else the organs?

In most western cultures, fighting for the rights of non-white groups has become a social status symbol. This goes hand-in-hand with an intense dislike of the white middle and working classes (who are called "trailer trash" etc by the white elites). I've heard a variety of theories on how this ideology has arisen amongst the western ruling elites, but it is undeniable that it exists. It is a sign of a seriously diseased western culture.

In any healthy culure, the elites are expected to act in the best interests of their fellow tribesmen who are less fortunate. In concrete terms, this wealthy white guy should have used his influence and money to finance the medical care of an impoverished fellow American of a similar background. Such behavior would certainly be expected of a wealthy person in any non-Western culture....where behavior analagous to this man's would be seen as bizarre or even anti-social.

Many of our problems in the Western World descend from the fact that our elites have developed this ideology. It will only end when the middle and working classes of the western world demand that their elite's act with the best interests of the western peoples first (you would never see a Mexican billionaire--of which there are many-- doing this for an impoverished, white american child.)

I would not like it if my kid didn't get a transplant because of illegal aliens. So what? That has nothing to do with what I posted. I simply cannot blame parents for trying to save their child's life? Can you?

"Yes. I would also have helped slaves escape from slavery in the 1860's and I would have sheltered Jews in Germany. If you wouldn't rob a bank to save your child's like, you are a pathetic excuse for a parent."

Firstly, the "break laws to help slaves/Jews" is a strawman argument, and does not apply to what we are talking about, which is theft of another's property.

Secondly, I would see that I never needed to rob bank to feed my kids. Only fools get themselves in situations where they think it is necessary (it never is).

Thirdly, if I saw you doing it, I would blow your ass away, "for the children" or not.
