Trump Is Killing Sick Kids With This Change. Sign The Petition To Demand Mercy!

Dear friends, For decades now, the federal government has built some amount of humanity and leniency into immigration policies when it comes to life and death circumstances. When a kid was really sick, their family could have what's called "medical deferred action" so that they could seek medical care in the U.S. for their kids. As if all of the other human rights abuses Trump is committing weren't enough, now he's also threatening to deport dying children. After a backlash, he slightly shifted, saying that it will depend on the date the child gets sick. But the date you get sick shouldn't determine whether or not you're allowed to stay in the U.S. to complete life-saving treatment. Please sign this petition if you think it's morally wrong to deport dying children. The policy has been used to defer deportation in cases where the child will die if they're moved. But Trump doesn't care. So he is essentially ordering the death of children with fatal conditions like cancer. What kind of country are we if we order innocent children to their deaths? Those potentially affected include youths suffering from cystic fibrosis, leukemia and muscular dystrophy. The U.S. has exceptional medical facilities and it is beyond selfish for us to withhold them from sick and dying children. Having a child with a disease that could kill them, cripple them and cost their families millions is difficult enough. The idea that we should also send them back to countries where they have a zero chance at survival is cruel and unusual punishment and we should not allow it. Sign the petition if you oppose this inhumane change in immigration policy. Thank you,   Kelsey B. The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Trump wants to deport sick and dying children, even though it will mean their certain death. Take action now!
