For those families that have a child in the USA to receive medical care may have to be adopted by another family member. It is a radical idea, but, they only have 33 days to make it over the line to stay alive.
This administration doesn't care. Don't assign them the HOPE so many people are thinking that will change the course of that letter.
The families MUST find a way now. That may be taking extreme measures.
The other option is to make this a "States Rights" issue and pass legislation that reflects the compassion of the people of Florida and Massachusetts.
There may be a long shot as well. For any child that can act as their own parents, they can seek emancipation. That would make them able to seek a visa and the possible USA standing for reasons of medical treatment. I don't know if emancipation will bring better results, but, it can't bring worse. At that point they can be abandoned by the parents, removing any ability to facilitate their way back to their birthplace.
In the meantime, the pressure to provide for these children AND their families is important. I am surprised it is focused on two locations.
I think the "States Rights" measure is the best outcome. I see that happening in time by Massachusetts, but, I don't see Florida legislators being that compassionate.
The country of birth may even be able to revoke their citizenship under certain circumstances.
Trump has no conscience, I suggest the counter measure be just as ruthless.

There is a reason Trump is telling Puerto Rico to get out of the way, no more money.
Evidently, racism carries a dearly worrisome cost. The southern USA border is receiving federal funding at the expense of disaster relief. The money is coming out now because Puerto Rico announced a state of emergency. There was no hurry with the Atlantic season so quiet.
Puerto Rico probably has recourse against Trump and his reactionary movement of funding. Puerto Rico's state of emergency was placed before Trump adversely acted against the USA territory.

The timing on this could not be more telling. (click here)
On Tuesday morning, Puerto Rico declared a state of emergency as Tropical Storm Dorian was predicted to become a hurricane when it hits the island on Wednesday. And on Tuesday afternoon, NBC News reported that President Trump's administration opted to transfer $251 million in Department of Homeland Security disaster relief to the southern border.
Puerto Rico is still recovering from disastrous hurricanes that hit the island nearly two years ago, only receiving $900 million in relief funding in May after months of delays. Yet all the while, Trump has zeroed in on the southern border, even declaring a national emergency in an attempt to build his border wall.
The bill funding Puerto Rico's disaster relief didn't include Trump's border demands. But that didn't stop the Trump administration this week from reportedly relocating $271 million from DHS — including from FEMA's disaster relief fund — to fund detention and increased immigration hearings. $155 million of that total would go to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, NBC News reports via department officials and a letter sent to FEMA by Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.)....

To prevent customer loss, Target is absorbing the cost of tariffs. That means the stockholders will carry the burden.
Basically, Target cares about their customers and doesn't want volatility to effect corporate stability in the market place. Target will probably increase their customers because of this policy.

One of the nation’s biggest retailers (click here) told its suppliers Tuesday they’ll have to bear the cost of President Trump’s trade war with China alone from now on.
In a letter dated August 27, obtained by OPB, Target informed businesses that fill its shelves that they – not the mega-retailer – will have to absorb the increased cost of material imported from China.
In essence, the company said, the buck stops here....

Trump says he wants war in the Middle East.
The shadiest USA administration in history keeps getting shadier and shadier. To release a peace plan before elections would be a push for the incumbent leading the way to peace. So, why not release it, because there is no peace plan, there is only war. That is Trump, Kushner and Netanyahu's peace plan.
It is no different than Trump telling the country that his health care plan will be announced after the election. There is no health care plan and we know it. Same with Israel, there is no peace plan that was supposed to be released a year ago. There is no peace plan.
