Where's the justice?

Recently there was a story in the Washington Post about a 39 y/o woman who came here from the Belgian Congo. She was six months pregnant at the time of entry. Supposedly she came here for a "respite" because her boyfriend from another tribe was threatening her as he did not want the baby. ( It isn't explained where she got the thousands of dollars to pay for the trip.)

She has relatives here--who are probably on Medicaid. She came in on a tourist visa, had a very sick baby with heart problems 3 months later-who automatically became an American citizen-his medical bills were over one million dollars, and that is ongoing. Her visa expired when he was a few months old.

Some do-gooders at Georgetown Law School managed to get her asylee status because of the threats by her boyfriend. now she has all of those benefits. Two and one-half years later, at age 42, she is " learning English and looking for a job." This woman and her child are extremely unlikely to contribute to the tax base-ever.

Two weeks later, in the same health-care column, there was a story about an American family, who also had a baby with heart problems. They has Blue Cross insurance, but, ended up owing $90,000.00 dollars because they had to go out of network. As my cousin said, where's the justice?
