Garbage......this bit.....'Let's also not forget that they were already in a safe country in Mexico. Therefore they are actually economic migrants and not refugees.' They did not seek asylum in Mexico. That they did not, of itself, does not render them economic migrants. Asylum seekers are not illegal immigrants. Those people in the back of a lorry likely are.
If it was sepsis, that's some serious **** that you don't mess around with. This time last year I was about half way through a 4+ month long ICU stay for that very thing, where not only did I almost die, I DID die, but was revived. Statistically, I should probably be dead right now, and though I can no longer stand or walk, I can fortunately breathe and type. That's on the parent/guardian/sex trafficker who was her guardian.
Completely disagree, which I suppose we always will. One relinquishes asylum status if they want to choose where they want to claim asylum. They are both illegal and economic migrants. If laws means nothing then it leads to Anarchy. I support law and order.
I'm fairly certain that those are the rules as they presently exist. No changes are necessary, just enforcing the existing laws/procedures. Except maybe #2.
Actually, 80-90% of asylum claims are denied, which means they are exactly that. Whether or not it's innocent insofar as they've been misled about what does and does not qualify, or intentional is of no consequence. And that doesn't even begin to touch the ones who claim asylum, are released into the country, and then just disappear into the night, never to be heard from again. Until they kill someone, anyway.
The immigration law of said country? Talking about America, specifically the immigration and nationality act of 1965.
The illegal entry of non-nationals into the United States is a misdemeanor according to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which prohibits non-nationals from entering or attempting to enter the United States at any time or place which has not been designated by an immigration officer, and also prohibits non-nationals from eluding inspection by immigration officers.
It's only a misdemeanor the first time. Subsequent offenses are felonies. Which makes me marvel when I hear on the news about an illegal immigrant who just killed x number of people had been previously deported 15 times. You'd think after that many felonies they'd be doing life w/o parole.
Her family sneaked across the border in a desert region. They should go to a legal crossing point and declare asylum if they truly want asylum. If it weren't for US border patrol, the girl would have died sooner. The girl was near death when they were rescued by border patrol. This is child abuse by the parents. What was the girl's condition when she entered Mexico? She was allowed into Mexico. Why are they not responsible for the girl? How much closer was the American consulate in Mexico? Could the girl have made it there alive? We are not responsible for someone who sneaks into our deserts. Blame the coyotes who smuggled them. BUILD THE WALL!
This truely is fake news....and outrage I'm hearing from the left is fake outrage. Nothing more contemptable then an article that leaves crucial information out, presents false information through an inaccurate headline in an effort to manipulate people.
Instead they should remain in Central America and have their children be killed by gunfire from cartels funded by American dollars.
Nope! No responsibility at all on the parents part schlepping a little girl around cross country. Time to get your head out of your (___Y___) AND SEE THE LIGHT
We only know her temperature was that when she was sent to the hospital. This case depends on the conditions after she was detained and the true timeline.
No, instead we should end the drug war, stop skimming the top 10% of their societies off through immigration, and turn Central America into the new Asian tiger.
I think we all agree that would be a solution. Probably could turn the region around in 5 years if we got serious about it. Then the border would be a non issue.
So her Father killed her by dragging her into the dessert, and CBP couldn't save her. I wonder if the Father and his fellow illegal aliens would have stopped and waited to see the buzzards and other dessert creatures pick at her body, had the CBP not tried to save her?
Maybe the GOP could concede the drug war and the Dems could concede mass immigration, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. Bipartisan deals which help both sides are strictly taboo these days.
Then they shouldn't be a border patrol officer, or a cop, park ranger, ANYONE who might deal with children in extremis. AFAIK fracking bus drivers are trained better than that. Of course saving live is not necessary for Donnie's Gestapo
She was in this condition when taken into custody, and then died? And this is Trump's fault? Wow. You people are desperate.
