Border doctors volunteer to treat immigrants so that 'nobody is dying' -- but some worry this 'new normal' is simply not sustainable.

El PasoIt wasn't the rash covering Meliza's feet and legs that worried Dr. José Manuel de la Rosa. What concerned him were the deep bruises beneath. They were a sign she could be experiencing something far more serious than an allergic reaction.

Meliza's mom, Magdalena, told the doctor it started with one little bump. Then two. In no time, the 5-year-old's legs were swollen and red from the knees down.De la Rosa noticed a bandage-covered cotton ball in the crook of Meliza's elbow, a remnant of having blood drawn. During their time at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, Meliza had been sent to a hospital, Magdalena explained, cradling the child with her 5-foot frame.

Still breastfeeding before she was separated from her mother, she would suck on his nose and at his shirt. He was worried that she wasn't getting enough to eat, and that the formula he was giving her wasn't as good for her as breast milk. Dr. Garcia told him the baby looked healthy.Still, Cristian was anxious, and grew increasingly distressed as he recounted their history."Will the baby be OK?" he asked in Spanish.She assured the young father he was doing everything he could.

This 'new normal' is not sustainable? Ya think?

djmincey11 New normal— think about what that term really means🤢

Wouldn’t it be better to go to those countries if it was really about helping and not about showing daddy (Trump)

This should not be happening! These immigrants shouldn't have to worry that they'll lose their lives once they reach our borders. CrimesAgainstHumanity NoBorderWall NoWall GOPComplicitTraitors

The whole situation is unsustainable, but Dems still claim its manufactured, so dishonest

Who pays their medical bills after they are released into the USA?

Build the wall and it won’t be a “new normal”

Nobody is dying? How many of these people are dying along the way that nobody knows about? Not to mention the rapes and other horrible crime's they endure! The democrat party is spurring this on and even funding this whole thing just to import voters into the US! THATS CRIMINAL!

Good job

I hate Trump’s America

Obama's ACA had my monthly premium at $1838. I'm a 58 yr old, $14/hr cook with pre existing conditions. My deductible was $7500. I never had insurance...couldn't pay for it, but I'm sooo glad these illegals are getting help...MAGA

Dr's are filthy rich! And as per their vote for Democrats/Socialist, they should have absolutely no issue doing so. This is what their vote represents

👍👍

So in America all you have to do to get free medical care is have no right to be in this country? That's cool, non citizens have more privilege than citizens, how nice we are.

Hence the need to build the wall. Especially considering many of these “asylum seekers” are violent criminals and many others are drug smugglers and others are human smugglers and many others have already been deported numerous times.

Why, yes. You cannot adequately take care of your own population. Why are you trying to take care of citizens from other countries, sometimes preferentially?
