There. There's your heroes in action.
I find that context should be applied to stories such as this to help us better understand what has actually happened. I'm not sure if your source mentioned it or not but the girl was not deported, she could have remained in the US with a temporary guardian or under the care of the Texas social services system although her parents chose not to go that route. It's also unfair to assume for the sake of outrage that cancer treatments are not available in Mexico and that the girl will probably die as a result. Your source did you a dis-service by leading you to believe so, I absolutely detest "news" sources who do this sort of thing.

I think it's terribly unfortunate for the girl to be in this position but I'm certain her parents will do the right thing and either make the proper arrangements to have her treated in the US or find a Mexican service provider and transfer her treatments to their home country.
