It's beyond ridiculous.
it is.
she’ll hate this:

What I find absolutely despicable is the media spin that this is somehow the US government's fault. Hubs showed me a picture of the so-called mother carrying the child. She was holding an I-phone. A better phone that I have. This has gone in to the realm of the surreal.
I agree that 'tragedy' is solely the fault of the father, who according to reports, 'took his favorite child' to accompany him on the long journey here.
Where is this going to end??

Of course anyone trying to push a narrative one way or the other will propagandize and spin.

"The careless evil parents user her as a pawn to make the glorious United States look like the bad guy", or the other side
"The evil United States let this poor child die due to their of racist hatred!!"

Either way an innocent 7 year old died who shouldn't have.

That's the fact. All the political jibber jabber in the world will not bring her back. A terrible story no matter how you cut it.

Chuck, You are misreading my intent.

This is exactly what I am saying. And, it is actually something like 2,000 miles from Guatamala to New Mexico.

Re: oral rehydration fluids, you need to also know when to use them. Again, I question if this is the BP's job.
Don't bother KW. He's being purposely obtuse.

LOL, of course. But she'll continue indicting Border Patrol despite this from the article:

Caal did not speak to the media Saturday, but in a statement issued by his lawyers, he said he was "grateful for the many first responders that tried to save young Jakelin's life in New Mexico and Texas."

Nope, your reading comprehension is lacking.


My point was, I've had a vacation for making posts that were less aggressive. So, you have failed....
