I read a sad statistic this morning that 16 people die every week while waiting on the heart/lung transplant list. This girl got 2 sets.

So yeah, everyone sympathizes with this girl's family. I'm thinking about the families of the other 2 tax paying, fully insured US citizens who died last week because the organs they were waiting for went instead to an illegal immigrant.

For the amount of money I pay in taxes and insurance premiums over the course of my entire life, someone can crawl over the border, fork over the cash for the operation and take a life-saving organ away from me, or my family?!? Bullshit.
