Comment on ICE arrested a 6-year-old boy with leukemia at immigration court

Comments

A boy with leukemia very likely won't live to adulthood and will be a burden on society. We want and need the healthiest, the brightest, the strongest for both their generation's sake and that of succeeding ones.

I'm going guess you're being sarcastic, but just in case anyone else here takes this nugget seriously, leukemia is one of the cancers out there that has seen the most spectacular improvements in treatment across the last few decades. No, most kids that get it don't die young. It's all the opposite.

Not being sarcastic. And kids with leukemia die earlier than kids w/o: leukemia is not a "super power". Quit being silly.

FINALLY, someone I can agree with. With the birthright citizenship now in play, I say we should expatriate everyone in tech as well! Now that code can be written by LLMs, tech workers will just be drain on the economy.

If one don't have the heart to see the basic decency of not imprisoning a terminally ill child... I'm not sure there is anything they couldn't be convinced to do.
