Illegal immigrant sent home to Mexico, still seeking care – Forced back to Mexico by a new Georgia law, an illegal immigrant’s health declines
Tagged: Georgia, latina, Mexican Consulate, MexicoPosted on: January 24th, 2007“When Reyna Vazquez, 22, returned to her native Mexico earlier this month, she believed she would continue getting the thrice weekly dialysis treatment that had kept her alive in Savannah.
That was the promise, as she understood it, from the Mexican Consulate in Atlanta. Thats why she agreed to go, rather than fleeing to another state, where more lenient laws might have allowed the undocumented immigrant to continue receiving American medical treatment at public or hospital expense.
So far, that’s not what has materialized.”
