Good point ladybug. But what pisses me off is that after all that rigamarole, they wouldn't donate her viable organs. What the huh???! The least they could do is help others after they had been helped soooo much.
Blockbuster should be in charge of the INS. Why, you ask? People come to and fro illegally all the time, overstay their visa, etc. If your movie is even a couple days late be damn sure that Blockbuster will be all over you to get it back (plus fees). I do resent that they came here illegally to get treatment (if they were legal I'd have no problem) and also took 2 sets of organs that theoretically could have saved the lives of 4 or more people. One of my friends died after a lung lobe transplant (the guys that donated were voluntary live donors) and since then I've really pushed everyone I know to donate anything they can. I didn't consider those to be a waste because a) the people who donated didn't have to die or even be harmed and b) her folks are legal, upstanding, tax paying citizens w/ insurance. She battled cystic fibrosis for all 20 years of her life, and when she did die, her parents offered up anything viable to help other families. How noble is that?
