Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., who also sits on the House Judiciary Committee, also called for an investigation, and said Congress should cut off funds to agencies where children die in custody.

Nielsen “has this on her hands,” Jayapal said on Twitter, adding that if “‘border security’ means detaining 7 year old children and letting them die in OUR custody, SHAME ON US. No more money without accountability.”

What has America come to? Well, our Border Patrol agents found 163 people wandering around in the desert, they picked up the group and took them to a facility where they began processing them, they saw a young child in distress, called in a chopper, and had her evacuated to a hospital where medical personnel unsuccessfully worked to save her life.What ogres!

Let’s look at some facts before blaming Border Patrol and the United States – facts the Democrats are only to happy to ignore in favor of placing blame at the feet of the Trump administration and demonizing the men and women tasked with keeping our borders secure.

The girl died of septic shock and dehydration. She and her father were picked up on the night of December 6 at about 10pm along with roughly 160 more illegal aliens who decided they were entitled to break into our country.

The girl reportedly hadn’t eaten or had anything to drink for several days and began suffering seizures about eight hours after being taken into custody, according to Customs and Border Protection.

Whose fault is it that the child wasn’t given anything to eat or drink and that she was dragged along in a group that could have possibly contained individuals with communicable diseases? Even the CDC admits this is a risk, although the document containing this data has “mysteriously” disappeared from its website. PolitiFact, however, captures the gist:

“The sheer number of people who live, work, and travel between the United States and Mexico has led to a sharing of culture and commerce, as well as the easy transportation of infectious diseases,” CDC writes on its website. “The large movement of people across the United States and Mexico border has led to an increase in health issues, particularly infectious diseases such as tuberculosis.”

So the child was dragged along on a lengthy journey with a group of people, some of whom could possibly have been sick, and not given water or food for several days. How is this the fault of the US?

The agency said emergency medical personnel discovered the girl had a fever of 105.3 degrees and she was flown to a hospital in El Paso. There she suffered cardiac arrest and was revived but died Saturday morning, the agency said.

So after the girl started having seizures, medical personnel were summoned and she was transferred to a hospital for emergency treatment. THOSE BORDER PATROL BRUTES! How dare they not know that there was something wrong with the child! How dare they not know that she needed immediate medical attention! How dare they transfer her to a hospital!

Although the Wall Street Journal acknowledges that it lacks insight into whether the girl received food or water after being taken into custody, the Border Patrol says she was at least examined. It takes time to process that many people at one time, so chances are any medical exam was perfunctory, and the officers would have to rely on the father to tell them the truth about any problems with his daughter. Daddy dearest, who apparently hasn’t got the common sense of ass hair, having dragged a 7-year-old child through a desert for days without sustenance and having failed to ask Border Patrol officers for something as simple as a drink of water for his daughter, lied to the officers about the child’s health.

Migrants are generally given brief medical exams after their arrests. The agency said her father told authorities the girl was fine.

There were 163 people traveling in that group. It most likely takes several hours to process all those people, to get their names, to give them a cursory examination, to write down their information. And her father didn’t think to ask Border Patrol agents for some water after walking in the desert for several days?

What kind of parent does that?

Whose fault was that?

An intake form signed by the girl’s father said she wasn’t sick, wasn’t sweating and seemed mentally alert. The form was obtained by The Associated Press.

Immigration officials briefing reporters say the girl’s father told officials that she was sick and vomiting when they were on a bus heading to a Border Patrol station. When they arrived 90 minutes later, the girl wasn’t breathing.

So Border Patrol officers trusted the father when he said she was fine.

But because it’s now en vogue to denigrate and demonize ICE, DHS, and Border Patrol, the left is blaming the US. Because anything they can blame Trump for, they will.Thousands of migrants die on the trek to the US, and yet, somehow it’s Trump’s fault that this father took his little girl on a dangerous journey during which so many perish. No one blamed Obama or Bush or Clinton when that was going on during their administrations, but now it’s Trump’s fault.

BUT SHE DIED IN US CUSTODY!!!!

Fact: one can survive several days without water. The hours this child spent in CBP custody without water would not have killed her. Being dragged across a desert for days without food or water in a group that could have contained individuals carrying all sorts of diseases would have.

Fact: CBP agents and doctors at the hospital worked to save this little girl’s life. They evacuated her via helicopter to a hospital. They did everything they could to save her. She got immediate care as soon as CBP realized something was wrong, and her story should be a cautionary tale to any parent with any sense who wants to come to the United States.
