The crisis crated by Trump?

Now you are going to have to prove that one.

This ought to be good.

They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

Do you know what really happened? Please tell us all what more could have been done for this person that wasn't done.

From the original story.

He had been transferred to the station Sunday from the Rio Grande Valley Sector’s Central Processing Center, the official said.Early Sunday, Carlos told staff at the processing center that he was not feeling well and a nurse practitioner assessed him and determined he had influenza A, the official said. Carlos was prescribed the medicine Tamiflu for treatment, which Border Patrol agents picked up from a local pharmacy, the official said.
The official said Carlos continued to receive care at the processing center throughout the day and was transferred midday to the Weslaco station, where he was to be segregated from much of the other migrant population due to his illness. At the station, he was again medically assessed and his medication was turned over to the medical professionals there, the official said.
The next morning, Carlos was found unresponsive in one of the station's short-term holding rooms about an hour after his previous welfare check, the official said. Medical staff were unable to treat him or save his life, the official said. He had been in the border patrol station for about 17-18 hours at the time.

At what point does the term Nazi stick?

16-year-old migrant boy dies in U.S. custody, 5th child to die since December


I would have said at one. But, Nazis probably want 6 million.

After all, the first victims in the German camps died from illness. So, looks like we are on the right path. Amirite?

I believe that is below the normal death rate for 16 year olds in American society at large. He was no doubt compromised by his parents dragging him along on their journey into America’s land of milk and honey. How many piles of bleached bones are in the Sonoran desert that no one cares about?

There are hundreds of thousands of illegals crossing the border during the same time frame. 5 is close to typical for that size of any group.

Add to that that many of these kids are dumped on the border authorities because they are gravely ill and close to death.

I'm surprised the number is that low.

Then why don't you set me straight and cite the exact quote which you posted as Trump's words.

Same lie as the "Muslim ban". That's about as real as the pee pee tape.

Are you going to admit you are wrong?

Trump said, "their", and that comports with assuming some are good people. Remember, they have to manifest hallucinations to have the narrative comport with their reality.

Which would explain why people from normal countries refuse to move here.

That and the fact that we have a lot of stupid people who elected a really stupid leader.

You don't get it. There is no crisis at the border. There is only the miserable history of Guatemala, its current anarchic chaos, resulting poverty and violent crime. It is for Guatemalans to recreate their nation, their homeland and not run away. I understand your pandering for your socialist agenda, and subsequent excoriation of Trump for your purposes of anticapitalist behavior. However, despite your silly laments, the US is a successful capitalist nation with no reason to bow to the failed policies of anachronistic failed socialism.

You have nothing.

Just the facts.

Yes, There’s a Crisis on the Border. And It’s Trump’s Fault.

Instead of wasting his time on a wall, the president should fix the asylum system.

By ALAN BERSIN, NATE BRUGGEMAN and BEN ROHRBAUGH April 05, 2019
Alan Bersin served as the commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and assistant secretary and chief diplomatic officer for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Why fix what isn't broken? No, a media created crisis does not indicate a problem with the asylum system. By treaties, agreements, we are obligated to provide political asylum. A privilege for people whose lives are endangered because of political persecution in their home countries. It is not an umbrella policy for people fleeing criminal violence, poverty, or any other social pressures. A privilege the applicant must provide proofs to obtain. Not every applicant must be given sanctuary. Idi Amin would never have qualified for political asylum. Nor Saddam Hussein. Nor the guy with the leaf blower annoying me with the noise he makes as he "sweeps" a neighbor's front yard for $3 per hour and another $5 per hour to the contractor who hired him.

Alan Bersin, an overeducated lawyer from Brooklyn, a Democrat and liberal, booted from his job at Interpol for incompetence, appointed to Homeland Security under Obama, suggested 7 years ago that we send US Marines into Guatemala to "quiet the violence." He had been the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and was laughed at for the suggestion. He resigned a year later, having made no efficacious improvements to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection system. In fact, when pressed for new methods for inspecting container shipping, he suggested using MRI machines, which would have had to be built of an appropriate size and cost of at least $200 mil each, and would not be able to create images of products within the steel and aluminum containers in use. A man whose opinions of the asylum system matter, to no one who knows his work history. He made his bones working for the Capo of Corruption, Meade Esposito before he went down in disgrace. Later for party boss Frank Seddio, who was convicted for voter fraud after making 200,000 voters disappear. Magic. :lamo

The OP is defending Nazis and further down this thread goes on to express the desire for white supremacy fascism.

Listen to your now ranting that people who are not from white countries are not "normal."

Why not just scream you hate Latinos claiming they have abnormal countries? No, wait, that is what the thread you started is about. You start with an OP that in effect demands the deaths of Latino migrant children by demanding they be denied medical and go on to attack all Latino majority nations.

Define a "normal" country? Over 1 million people legally immigrate to the USA and there is a long waiting line.
