Children burn victims from Mexico; Shriners in Sacramento and ignorant people

I don't get it. How is it that people call themselves Christians, but yet make the most ignorant and blatantly cruel statements.
As I write this, several children who were seriosuly burned in a childcare center in Hermosillo,Mexico are being brought
to Shriners Hospital in Sacramento for treatment of burns. In most of these cases the children have been burned over 50 percent of their body.
Just in case you don't know what Shriners does, it provides medical care for "children up to the age of 18 with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries and cleft lip and palates so they can receive care in a family-oriented environment at no financial obligation to patients or families."
And did I mention Shriners Hospital for Children is an international health care system. Which means any child from any country can get medical care.
The Sacramento Bee has an article today about the first child arriving from Mexico for treatment. This child is three-years-old, a little girl with burns over 80 percent of her body.
Now you would think this would draw compassion from readers. Well, think again. On the blog back section after the article there are people blasting Shriners for treating these children the implication is why is Shriners, a hospital in California, treating children from Mexico.
Some of the comments are downright devoid of humanity.
Yes, these comment have racial undertones. One poster even says Shriners will no longer receive donations from them because the money is not being used to help American kids.
I guess they missed that line about Shriners being an internatinal organization. I can see how it can be missed, afterall it's only the FIRST sentence on the home page of the Shriners website.
Shriners does some incredible work. And anyone out there who wants to help them continue in their mission of providing medical care for children...regardless of where in the world they come from...should consider donating to them.
The website is: http://www.shrinershq.org/ and look for the donate tab.
