How, pray tell, Dr. WFCY, did you make that determination? You know exactly when he contracted cancer?

You're in the wrong line of work as an internet "revolucionario". You should be out saving the world with your amazing medical knowledge.



There are several things wrong with what happened to Mr. Ng.

And also, several things wrong with your claims, such as the vapid suggestion that a case like this would be grounds for a "pre-emptive strike".

There is plainly a need for standards to ensure that those being detained are provided competent medical care. Regardless of the reason for their detention, they are in the care and custody of the government, and as such the government as a moral as well as a legal duty to provide such care.

He shouldn't have been detained in the first place. For the govt. to detain someone who came to the US, worked hard, made a career for himself, and committed no other crimes other than merely overstaying his Visa is a waste of taxpayer $$, including my tax $$,

kinda like spending $15 million+ prosecuting someone for lying about a BJ under oath is a waste of taxpayer $$.
