A suburban Chicago man was diagnosed with cancer while in prison. Now ICE is deporting him to Mexico.

The family of Luis Ugalde-Pacheco worried that he would die in immigration custody. Now they fear he will die in a country he barely knows.
Ugalde-Pacheco, 28, who was recently diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, was deported to Mexico on Friday, according to his attorney. He’d called Chicago’s southwest suburbs home since he was about 7 years old when he came to the United States illegally with his father, said Lourdes Cristina Pacheco, his mother.


In March, he was placed into the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which began deportation proceedings. That was after he completed a two-year prison sentence for felony convictions of intimidation and aggravated battery for threatening and pushing a woman.
It was at the end of that prison stint that he was diagnosed with cancer, according to medical records provided by his attorney. Since then, his advocates have fought for him to receive medical treatment for his lymphoma, which they say ICE did not provide.

I read this and said who cares?  As if I am supposed to feel sorry for this convicted fellon?  The bleeding heart liberal media does.  There are probably 100's of thousands or more American citizens that obey the laws.  Who work but still can't afford the Cancer treatment.

Surprise!   

As if I am supposed to feel sorry for this convicted fellon?

According to Jesus, yes.

I'm sympathetic with them as well.  We share that in common.  I would be sad if they were dragged by their parents to another country, got cancer, couldn't pay for health care, and got deported on top of it.  It's fine you have no sympathy for Luis Ugalde-Pacheco.  You be you. 

A little less than 1% of the US population is currently incarcerated.  Many more are convicts.  Some are very bad hombres, but some just made a mistakes and are paying the price for it.

From my perspective being an illegal and being a convict does not negate the suffering of cancer, deportation, and death.

So I care.

He's been here since he was 7.  What did he do with his life?  Became a criminal.  Sorry, but no I don't feel sorry for him.  Plenty of natural Cancer treatment.  He can get  a job in Mexico and eat healthy and follow a natural cancer cure plan.  But not in this country.  Let the Mexican government pay.

So I didn't change your mind. :(
