As you can imagine, the topic of immigration is a hotbutton issue in Arizona. The latest event in the immigration fight involves sick undocumented immigrants being booted from care and transported back to their homelands.

According to ABCNews "The alarming scenario has come to light in recent weeks with the dramatic case of Sonia Iscoa Del Cid, a house cleaner in the country legally under temporary protected status, who woke up from a coma last week only to realize that she was going to be forced back to her native Honduras because she lacked insurance for long-term care. The case galvanized the immigrant community in Phoenix."

Do you think these folks should be sent home? Share your thoughts.
