[h=1]Guatemalan toddler dies in US custody, report says[/h]Guatemalan toddler dies in US custody, report says - CNN

A 2 1/2-year-old Guatemalan boy apprehended on the US-Mexico border died Tuesday night in El Paso, Texas, the Washington Post reported.The child had been in the hospital in US custody for several weeks after crossing into the US with his mother, the Post reported, citing Guatemala Consul Tekandi Paniagua and another source.

CNN has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security and the Guatemalan consulate in Del Rio, Texas, but hasn't yet received a response.

The boy would be the fourth Guatemalan child since December to die after a border apprehension.

RAICES Texas, nonprofit immigration legal services group, tweeted.

"A 2 year old baby boy ‘apprehended' by armed security forces. He's now dead. No baby should be ‘apprehended’. Immigrants should NEVER be kept in detention centers. This continues until we start treating people fleeing asylum in a humane way."

Now I'll count down the minutes before the comments saying "it's his mother's fault, she put him at risk" or "If the mother didn't try to get in our country illegally her kid would still be alive".

Go on.... let it all out, justify this death.
 
Politicizing the death of a child... :(

This is how it'll sound- "Their own fault. Don't want this kind of thing to happen, don't break our laws."

What monsters: "The child had been in the hospital in US custody for several weeks after crossing into the US with his mother". More people die in the hospital than anywhere else.

RIP small child.

Why should we care about this OPEN border group and how they have politicized the death of a child for their own agenda?
Resources – RAICES How do you justify politicizing his death for your own anti-Trump agenda?

You probably think we should charge the president with this toddler boy's death?

RIP, little boy.

He was hospitalized after he crossed our border, for several weeks. Then he died. Now who wants to make the US the culprit? Anybody?

The Left and the smugglers using kids as pawns. Dopes.
 
"The child had been in the hospital in US custody for several weeks after crossing into the US with his mother,"


What did the child die from?

The article seems to imply that the child died from being in custody.

It is unreasonable to expect a country to allow immigrants or anyone to just come in without authorization. You can pretend this childs family didn't put him in this situation but they did. They choose to expose their child to a dangerous and illegal situation. Every government in the world controls who enters their country, and America should be no different. I'm sure there are more humane ways to deal with illegal immigrants than what our jackass in office does but the answer isn't blinding letting everyone in either. This child died by his parents choices. And if they caused their childs death with their negligent choices on US soil they should be charged. If it is determined that immigration officials caused his death they should be charged.

WOW, now Democrats are claiming the US hospitals are conspiring with Trump to murder immigrant children! The OPer is claiming the child was taken to the hospital, where hospital staff MURDERED the child - and that law enforcement is taking migrant children to hospitals where the hospital staff murders the children.

Over 20,000 people a year die in Los Angeles under the care of the Democratic government. How long are we going to allow the Democratic Party to murder over 20,000 people a year - just in Los Angeles!!! I guess the OPer is fine with Democratic government hospitals murdering 10s of thousands of AMERICANS per year, but sobs over 1 illegal migrant child.
 
So the US had this kid in a hospital trying to help him out and some people are trying to paint that as a bad thing

Apparently the OPer's message is demanding that law enforcement be banned from taking migrants to hospitals. However, by his messages possible is furious that there was no chance for child to spread the bacteria to Americans when hospitalized.

Open border people blaming the Border patrol for the death? Really rich!!
A sick thread so off base to try and place ANY blame for this death on the United States!
How can people be so demented? The nerve of the border patrol to place this child in
the hospital when he was ill.

Probably many more died before apprehension. And the aprehension is what got him to the hospital, without it he likely would have died sooner. Its the trek from Guatamala through Mexico that makes them sick.

I think your point is that the mother was powerless to prevent hospitalization of her sick child to prevent American doctors from murdering the child like you apparently claim they have done now 4 times.

The solution then is to outlaw admission of illegal immigrants into American hospitals to protect them for murderous doctors.

It probably is the parents fault for trekking thousands of miles from Guatemala,through Mexico to Texas in whose know what kind of conditions. Did the parents adequately feed the child? Did they all walk that whole way without adequately resting? Was the water they drank and the food they ate that whole time safe? Did the child have pre- existing medical conditions. I ask these questions because we all know they did not arrive healthy.
 
What the report fails to disclose is why the kid(s) fell ill. To what were they exposed before coming here? Did they have adequate food, water, 1st Aid on their travels? Please do take into consideration that yes, it is the parents or guardians who bring them on a journey that is harsh for most adults.
Please do not pretend to have compassion while dangling shiny things in front of those poor people, fail to properly come to agree on a humane immigration policy and keep this insanity going, ready for election grandstanding.
Call your congress people and insist that this must stop.

RIP innocent child.
 
I'm not surprised one bit. An entire slew of justifications spilling out faster than vomit from a drunk
 
Yep the child had no choice in the matter. Our stupid laws entice parents to bring small kids with them on long and dangerous trip. These innocent kids are just pawns in a political struggle We need to change our laws

Okay: what the hell happened to that toddler coming over? Maybe it was something the mother didn't know her child had. Maybe she knew but didn't care enough to get it taken care of. Another illegal could have done something to that kid. There are some real sick people out there. Maybe the kid's body temperature was too hot and died from overexposure to the sun's rays.There are other, logical, explanations for this, rather than "WELL, THE BORDER PATROL WERE BEING A BUNCH OF RACIST BIGOTS, AND THEY KILLED THE CHILD CUZ HE WAS BROWN AND AN UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANT!" The reason why the doctors are not responding is simple: they don't want the media circus twisting what would be said. No matter these same doctors probably know and would say, it doesn't matter because there's an agenda attached to all this, and that's amnesty. With amnesty, comes voter registration. With voter registration, comes new number of Democrat voters. So the media will spin the explanation of the cause of death of this kid and say it was these border patrol agents' fault.

Besides, what's it to you Leftists anyway if a child dies? You enjoy seeing the death of babies, in and out of the womb, so I don't think your guys' "outrage" is legit. I think the only outrage, from you guys, is that it's one less future Democrat voter, instead of seeing that child as a human being.
