No comment about special treatment for Haitian kids - oh, free breakfast and lunch too - foreign kids receiving special treatment over US citizens.

I’m not familiar with Haitian kids, I suspect the US decided to lend a hand due to the catastrophe they suffered?

I don’t particularly see how that’s related to the OP...

You're going to have to give us more information about this Haitian kid business.

If you are designated as a refugee, your eligibility for services begins on the date of your arrival. The information below details the services you may be eligible to receive.

Health Services
Upon arrival, you are eligible for eight months of Medicaid or Refugee Medical Assistance (RMA). Medicaid and RMA are free insurance programs designed to assist you with any medical problems you may have. If your spouse or children enter the United States with refugee status after your arrival, their eight months of eligibility begins when they arrive.. You must apply for Medicaid online in order to receive the service. It may take time for your application to be processed and to receive your Medicaid card.

While you are waiting for your Medicaid eligibility to be processed, you are eligible to receive a free health assessment at your county health department within 90 days from your date of arrival. They will test your blood and stool samples to determine if you have any medical problems. They will also provide immunizations which are required for adjustment to Lawful Permanent Resident status. If a medical problem is identified during your assessment, they will refer you for additional medical care. Your medical care will be paid by Medicaid or RMA for eight months from your date of arrival. After eight months, you will need to reapply for Medicaid and meet the eligibility criteria to receive those benefits again.

If it's because they aren't letting them apply for permanent resident status, maybe they should rethink that.

That these Haitian kids can sit in public schools unvaccinated while US citizens can't. That they get free lunch and some US citizens don't. Ditto for homeless kids although they are probably US citizens.

Did you read the OP? The mother disobeyed a direct order from a judge. That has nothing to do with kids in extenuating cir stances.

There's no excuse for an ignorant mother to disobey a court order. She could've appealed the order, fight it in the proper venue (court), but instead made the wrong choice.

Has nothing to do with citizenship or not.
