Letter: Compassion is gone if we deport gravely ill woman

Compassion is gone if we
deport gravely ill woman

Re: “For Bay Area woman life means staying here” (Page A1, Sept. 2):

Donald Trump and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services did a terrible injustice and inhumane deed to Isabel Bueso by denying her authorization extension.

Her family attorney, Martin Lawler, said exactly the right words: “Where has our compassion gone?”

Many readers will recall Pete Seeger’s song “Where Have All The Flowers Gone.”

I will cry for Isabel Bueso, and sing with my guitar to add a new verse to Pete Seeger’s song, this one titled “Where has all compassion gone?”
