Nick Miroff and Robert Moore wrote a 12/13/18@9:55 PM WaPo article called: "7-year-old migrant girl taken into Border Patrol custody dies of dehydration, exhaustion". The article states with "A 7-year-old girl from Guatemala died of dehydration and shock after she was taken into Border Patrol custody last week for crossing from Mexico into the United States illegally with her father and a large group of migrants along a remote span of New Mexico desert, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Thursday."

The parent and girl were trying to break into the country ILLEGALLY.......that opens you up to a host of problems, one of which we see here.......I see no ethical problem with the bp.....they are swamped with people all day who are sick and malnourished from a long journey ........they need to get the message to stay home........put the blame on OBAMA who ADVERTISED South America should come to the USA and have a good time at our expense..............

Blame the idiot parents. Yet the parents are quick to blame other people for their bad decisions. Criminally charge the parents for negligent homicide.
CNN reporting the child and her father were a part of a group of people who had illegally crossed the border and were found in a remote desert region of NM.
The child was airlifted to the Providence Children’s Hospital in El Paso. She died within hours of being captured.
Had they not been captured she would have died in the desert of derydration.
Migrants/ refugees all over the world have faced similar risks, since forever.
Yet the article title is written to promote the belief that it is the border patrol fault and how evil and heartless those are (and throw in racist also) that don't support giving said people sanctuary.
faux news already blamed the parent,the caravan,democrats,cnn and are stirring the uninformed to give dummy all the tax dollars he wants for the wall Personally I will donate money to BUILDING TUNNELS UNDER THE WALL
I asked in another thread when you said you would be happy to take in illegals, so I'll ask again with the hopes of getting an answer this time. How many homeless Americans have you taken in?
A little girl's father dragged her across an arid desert with no food or water, for days.
The border patrol finally finds them, and airlifts the girl to a children's hospital immediately. And she dies of exhaustion and dehydration within hours of being found.
And it's the Border Patrol's fault she died???
My God, the liberals will gin up any excuse to try to smear people who are trying to help others. How sick are they?
What liberal ACTUALLY SAID it was the border patrols fault?
Another right winger living in fantasy land based on strawmen.

I dont fault the agents necessarily although waiting for all the facts to come out. If the dad was asking for help all nite and was ignored until the girl started convulsing that would chaneg my mind, if they were not given any water or food that would change my mind.
Now from a procedural standpoint yes, the BPD, HSS or whoever is in charge has some blame here. You know these people are walking through literal deserts, you should have agents that are trained in recognizing heat exhaustion , dehydration etc, which BTW is standard military training. There is also the matter of intake procedures, there should be a screening with a medical professional there should be some kind of triage that happens.
A little girl shows up at our door thirsty, and hungry and we don't give her so much as a sip of water.
What happened to us?
How did we become such despicable people?
