Daycare fire in Mexico; 38 children dead so far
In a tragedy of monumental proportions — an unknown cause is still being investigated in a northern Mexican daycare where a fire has already killed up to 38 children. Children are being flown to California for medical care.
…but why can’t Mexico treat them? What’s up with that? Is our universal healthcare set to cover Mexico as well?
The cause of Friday’s blaze remained unknown, but investigators concluded that the fire did not start inside the ABC Day Care, Eduardo Bours, the governor of Sonora state said.
As of Saturday night, 23 children remained hospitalized, 15 of them in critical condition, Sonora spokesman Daniel Duran told CNN. Another 10 children had been transported to other hospitals: eight to Guadalajara, one to Ciudad Obregon, and one to Sacramento, California.

I have to correct your article. Most of the badly burnt children are being cared for in Mexico. Only two out of dozens have been sent to Shriner’s. Which is a private charity. Mexico has pediatric burn units, but in a tragedy of this size all the beds were filled.
So sorry you begrudge tiny children a chance to get care.

i can not believe you would act so prejudice about tiny lives coming into our country so they can be saved. my husband is from mexico and i would never say something like that. mexico has burn units but, 42 children have already died. what is wrong with the united states trying to save the ones that are left and struggling to survive. you are very wrong for some of the things you say on here about some of the topics.

Why are you so racist against Mexicans? I’m not usually this harsh…but this is not the first time I have heard some of your bogus comments.
