A last resort is a return to Mexico, where the operation costs about $40,000. But to pay off the necessary loans, Angel and his brother, a deli worker, would have to sneak back in through the desert. If they failed, they would be cut off from their children in Brooklyn, who are United States citizens.
He refuses to go back to his own country, where he can get a transplant at a much,much lower cost because of a bogus reason. His anchors can travel to see him in his country. Would he rather be cut off by death? Or is it he doesn't want to pay out of his own pocket?

Either way, I don't care, that's HIS and his country's problem. There are thousands of LEGAL patients waiting for transplants, and not enough organs. Why should an illegal alien get one, instead of an American?
