The Trump administration's increased scrutiny of immigrants' use of social services has led many green-card applicants –– fearing denial –– to forgo health care and other government services. For one mother, it means ending her daughter's autism treatment.

Open boarders hurt America.

Deport whole family.

Our national debt is out of control. Thousands upon thousands of illigal aliens are contributing to this debt. Tightening the belt is a must. Finger pointing causes more problems. Federal aid programs accross the board will sacrifice programs.

It appears that she made a choice to avoid treatment...no one made her do anything.

I have a child with severe Autism. Been a citizen all my life! My child does not get services because I home school! Services are not available to us! Shouldn’t we be more worried about our own?

So when Trump administration says they support legal immigration.... that is just hogwash.

Thus, making people who legally living in usa and doing something that is perfectly legal are now threatened with a deportation and ineligible for GC. That means doctors in rural areas where there is no private school.

Most draconian version of the rule wants to penalize, H1B holders for sending their children ( even citizen children ) to public schools ( they pay property tax and income tax like anyone else) even if one parent is a citizen. Thiz can be applied retroactively.

Any H1B L1 who lives in USA for more than 180days in a year is considered Resident for tax purposes and taxed like every other citizen. When you are taxed like a citizen, you take all tax breaks and deductions like citizens, but Trump administration wants to penalize them.

THIS ANIMAL IS HERE ILLEGALLY FROM EL SALVADOR. HE KILLED FOUR PEOPLE IN NORTHERN NEVADA. HOW MANY MORE GOOD PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE PELOSI & NPR. Would you like to tell the families of those murdered that some illegal's kid couldn't get autism help? AP CNN

npr = fake news

So green card recipients should be getting welfare or didn't she understand the rules of getting a green card!! Pay for the care of ur child or go home!!

Jesus Christ with the anomoly leftist stories.

What bs. The mother has the anchor baby and taxpayers are now responsible for her care.

What is media 'FRAMING' & why is it so often used by FAKE news? Like it sounds, think of a painting on canvas. Instead of providing the full picture, one frames only a part of it that fits one's propaganda narrative? Whether by text or visual, such false focus easily manipulates

Did you know that when a legal immigrant comes in the country a sponsor has to sign an affidavit of support, if the immigrant goes on welfare, the sponsor can be responsible for payment. why should illegals be different?

That’s a good thing not heartless just protecting your and my children

She should have no fear or concerns at all about being in the US illegally and sucking up tax payer money for health care. after all, if we are stupid enough to invite the thrild world in for free health care can you blame them that they take us up on the offer?

....... the current version of the rule ( still process) dies not prohibit citizen children from using public health. Parents dont get penalized if citizen children use public services.

I don’t know why our country is silent when a racist and ignorant trump takes advice from a white supremacist Stephen Miller. The obvious biases and demeaning of immigrants, Muslims & Refugees stains America’s image and values. This is not how America should be.

Hummm, it may be time to return to the motherland! Have you considered filing for citizenship? Either or, you can’t have it your way!

We just need to remember that they are kids

Thank you NPR for this story. The child's well being should come first. I feel for these parents who have to fear retribution and wind up struggling to do the best for their kids.

Wow, they cannot get on free healthcare funded by middle class tax payers just trying to get by. What a fucking tragedy.

's piece here is pure propaganda. The epitome of FAKE news. No one is an immigrant to the uSA unless they have become a uS Citizen Legally. An immigrant is a Citizen. An illegal alien who criminally invades our country by trespassing on uS soil is NOT an immigrant.

It isn't an extremist point of view to be upset about new immigrants using government programs for healthcare when we're the only first world nation without a functional healthcare system for our people. That's not extremism and you can't convince me otherwise.

Cry me a river... Better yet, BONO of U2 can help. He's sitting on a nest egg of $700million. TOO MUCH FOR ONE GREEDY CAPITALIST TO HAVE!

Our government programs cannot be the social services department for the entire world. They just can't.

Transparency of outside draw on a system shouldn’t be a grey zone. Shouldn’t have to fear retribution as a neutral, no one can argue with compromise.

'Why don't they come in legally?' Well there's this for starters.
