Death at the border.

A seven year old migrant child died in American border patrol custody. And we are all , as Americans, wondering just what the hell happened to our country.

The story is heartbreaking on so many levels. The fact that her father had to bring her thousands of miles and risk danger just to seek asylum in our country is sad, but the fact that she actually made it to America only to die because of the policies of this administration should be unacceptable to all of us.

Of course this disgusting administration and their minions are trying to spin the story and blame her fate on her father, and the poor people who flee all kinds of persecution and poverty in their country for the chance to have a better life.

“This is just a very sad example of the dangers of this journey. This family chose to cross illegally,” Nielsen said on “Fox & Friends.”

“What happened was they were about 90 miles away from where we could process them,” she said. “They came in such a large crowd that it took our Border Patrol folks a couple times to get them all. 

We gave immediate care. We’ll continue to look into the situation, but again, I cannot stress enough how dangerous this journey is when migrants choose to come here illegally.”

That, of course, is a lie! The  poor girl was healthy enough to survive when she arrived,  and  border patrol agents failed to recognize her illness and failed to treat her properly. They kept her in a remote location which made it hard to get her the proper medical care she needed in a timely manner.

“Our sincerest condolences go out to the family of the child,” CBP spokesman Andrew Meehan said in a statement to the Washington Post. “Border Patrol agents took every possible step to save the child’s life under the most trying of circumstances. As fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, we empathize with the loss of any child.”     . 

The polices of the administration you serve says something totally different.
