Did you get ill or need medical attention?

I remember one very bad case of sunburn, a flu, and once I had to go to dentist. One friend of mine had something in his heel - very painfull and he did cut it himself with a blade and removed the bad tissue. Of course that was risky, but staying at home and not having mone for my studies would be worse. The thing that we feared most was that police would catch us.

I think they write such articles to persuade people that there should be even more police to catch the illegals, and that is a really twisted logic that using compassion for the illegals thay want to argue for something against them.
