Charlie Gard is the British baby breaking hearts around the world. The 11-month old infant was born with a genetic condition and brain damage that prevents him from moving his arms or legs or even breathing on his own. This has led the child to being placed on life support while treatment is attempted. However, doctors in the UK decided that there was no hope for the poor child, and suggested he be taken off life support — a decision his parents strongly disagreed with.

In the UK, if there’s dispute between the parents and doctors on appropriate treatment for a child, it can be brought to court for decision. The courts agreed with the doctors that keeping Gard alive was only prolonging his suffering; the family is currently fighting to keep their son alive to try any experimental treatment that might keep their son alive.

There’s been a global uproar in support of keeping the child alive to try the experimental treatment. The Vatican hospital has offered to take the child in, and President Trump himself has also tweeted he would be “delighted” to help the child in any way our country can. Two GOP lawmakers are currently drafting a bill to make the Gard family “lawful permanent residents” of the United States if their son is granted leave for treatment.

While this support from our president aligns with his pro-life talk he preached on the campaign trail, it’s a drastic turn from the “America First” promise he made. Once in office, President Trump promised to put “America First,” by making sure foreign relations and deals are benefiting the American people. He’s pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement and decided to “embrace the shale oil and gas revolution,” continuing the damage to our planet for future generations.

Putting America first should mean putting the children in your own country above one child in another, and I’ve seen none of that since the inauguration. From suggesting a cut in funding for free and reduced meals in schools, to working on a new health care plan that would leave 22 million people uninsured, the Trump administration has shown little mercy for their own people. After bashing Obama for the support he lent other countries, diverting our resources to take care of one child who has become an internet sensation is hypocritical.

Throwing your support behind one dying child in another country is not putting “America First.” There are plenty of other children across the United States that need the same care and support that Gard needs, and putting one foreign child ahead of thousands is wrong.

The story and treatment of Gard is saddening, and I support any experimental treatment his parents wish to attempt before pulling the plug. But before my own lawmakers spend time bringing this family to our country, they need to do as they promised and put the children in America first. Supporting a terminally ill child with a hashtag doesn’t change the harm being done to the children in our own country — or make one a better person. The actions shown by President Trump and the GOP reveal their lack of support for their own country’s children, and I won’t support this tweeted façade of niceties.
