The state of Immigrant detention in America-3/3

Cancer-Stricken 34-Year-Old Chinese Computer Engineer Dies After Being Denied Care in Private US Immigration Prison

Earlier this month, a thirty-four-year-old Chinese computer engineer, Hiu Lui Ng, who overstayed his visa, died in a Rhode Island immigration detention center. He had cancer in his liver, lung and bones, and a fractured spine. Despite repeated complaints of severe pain, Mr. Ng was refused independent medical evaluation by immigration officials. Before Mr. Ng died on August 6th, he told his sister that the nurses at the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Center in Rhode Island had told him to "stop faking" his illness. We speak to immigration attorney Joshua Bardavid, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Renee Feltz, co-creator of the site BusinessOfDetention.com. [includes rush transcript]

HATE is EASY; LOVE takes COURAGE !!

I agree with velazzz03 - " i got advise for america if you keep abusing people, people will abuse you. I find this very offensive and discriminating. If an american citizen was put in the shoes of a hispanic immigrant they wouldn't last a day. My people are very strong and i know that victory is the sweetest revenge. And that god always brings the sun after the rain. I have faith that my people will rise up and be free.
