After reading this article, there were two things that immediately popped into my head:
First, the reason why so many illegal Mexicans come here:
Jobs, nothing else. Jobs. The jobs that the political establishment in Mexico has largely given up on drawing to their country. As a result of this hopeless point of view, from those who actually run Mexico, working class Mexicans gotta go somewhere that they can find work. And that place, unfortunately, is not in their home country; it's in the more prosperous neighbor to the north.
These illegals are not costing Americans jobs; it is the hopeless attitude of the Mexican government, that leaves its working class with no choice but to illegally border-hop, that is the problem. And yet we do nothing to fix it, because it helps the economy by keeping companies profitable that would not be able to do so if they paid fair wages to ACTUAL US CITIZENS.
Second:
Even if you leave out the issue of the quality of medical care, the question is; where the hell does this guy have a chance at something resembling a normal life? It sure as hell isn't Mexico, and certainly not in one its poorer states. Chances are very high that this guy will not recover to the point where he may even be able to drive, even with modifications such as hand controls.
So that leaves him with the options of rolling around town in his power chair on the sidewalks, and taking public transportation. Well, except there's one problem...........
If you think there are a good number of curb ramps (think of what you see at street corners all over the U.S.), and accessible buses with working lifts or ramps in Oaxaca, or any part of Mexico, for that matter, then I've got some oceanfront property to sell you in Kansas.
