Woman deported in vegetative state

OK, that is inflammatory and untrue, but it was also untrue when it was used as a headline in a Mexican newspaper.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that we can keep this thread from turning into yet another mudslinging fest. Can we start from the position that anti-illegal immigration folks don't hate brown people and the open border people aren't just pandering for more democrat votes, please?

Long story short is that a 22 year old female, illegally in the US since she was 11 got in a motorcycle accident, broke her back and was taken to a Phoenix hospital. While there she received nearly $500,000 in medical care that the hospital will be forced to write off. Then she needed a long term care facility but because she is illegal and has no insurance no facility would take her, so the Phoenix hospital chartered a flight to Mexico for her so she could recover in their "free medical care" system. She was not deported by the US government, she was returned to Mexico by the hospital. That is where the complaints begin.

The open border crowd (the Arizona Republic is openly pro-illegal alien) presents this as a poor girl abused by a heartless US system. The anti illegal crowd is of course saying that she shouldn't have been here to begin with.

My question is: What do you think when you read an article like this? Dig a little deeper than legal/illegal and think about what parts of the article grabbed you.

-Her legal status?
-How she got here?
-Medical costs?
-The US medical system?
-Her work history?
-Her education?
-Her children?
-Her return to Mexico?

Most people reading the article instinctively will fall on one side or the other of the legal/illegal question - but why? What is it that grabs you and pulls you that way?
