Under MPP, the exceptions for being granted entrance are supposed to be for medical conditions and being members of a protected group, such as LGBTQ or disabled people. But reports are that even those people are sent back to wait. There are very limited medical resources for those who are sick, and recent reports say even sick children are not being cared for properly. One of the medical volunteers we talked to said that the day before, he brought 3 children, one with a serious medical condition and cognitive disability, to seek attention on the US side. They were denied entrance. This story, and others we heard, matched the accounts in this recent article I read. https://valleycentral.com/…/doctors-report-conditions-on-bo…
