This is the second death of an illegal in a week, the other being a 17 year old, who’s suddenly not considered a child. Just imagine how the press would handle this if Trump were still president. The Blamestorming. AOC and other Democrats would be crying on Twitter, instead of ignoring this
8-year-old migrant girl dies in U.S. Border Patrol custody, officials say
An eight-year-old migrant girl died in federal U.S. custody on Wednesday after crossing the southern border with her family, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials.
The migrant girl died after experiencing a “medical emergency” inside a U.S. Border Patrol station in Harlingen, Texas, where she was being held with family members, CBP said in a statement Wednesday. The girl was pronounced dead at a local hospital, the agency added.
In its statement, CBP said the agency was investigating the death, and that it planned to disclose “additional information” later on. Congressional officials were also notified of the death Wednesday.
The girl’s death marks the first known death of a migrant child in Border Patrol custody since the Trump administration, when several minors died, including because of flu infections.
Last week, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) officials disclosed the death of a 17-year-old migrant teen from Honduras who was being housed in one of the department’s shelters for unaccompanied minors in Florida. HHS is also investigating that death, which officials said likely stemmed from an epileptic seizure.
The “1st since Trump.” Can you guess what name appears nowhere in this CBS News article? That’s right, Biden. This repeats throughout the Credentialed Media, from the NY Times to Washington Post and so on.
U.S. border officials transfer migrant children to HHS if they cross the southern border without parents or legal guardians. In March, a four-year-old girl from Honduras described as “medically fragile” died in HHS custody, but her death was not reported until last week.
So, not the first death, just 1st in CPB’s custody. Think a bitter deeper on this: why are parents sending a 4 year old across the border solo? Who’s incentivizing non-US citizens to do this? That would be Democrats.

NYC mayor at a loss over Biden’s absence as cities bear brunt of migrant crisis: ‘Good question’
New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the surge of illegal migrants that is flooding New York and other cities “should not be happening,” calling it a national problem that needs “a national solution.”
“Where the heck is the president of the United States?” a morning show host on “Good Day New York” asked Adams in an interview to discuss the migrant crisis.
“That is a good question. And I think we all should be asking, why is this happening to a city that was turning itself around and will continue to do so?” Adams replied.
“This should not be happening to New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, in the other big northern cities, and really shouldn’t be happening to El Paso or Brownsville, Texas,” he went on. “No cities should be [carrying this] burden. This is a national problem, and it needs a national solution.”
The answer is simple: go back to the old laws which state if you’re caught crossing the border illegally or residing in the US illegally (either from entering illegally or overstaying your Visa) you will be deported immediately. No years long wait to see a judge, no being released on your own recognizance, no hearings, nothing. You will be detained, any money and property you have will be seized to pay for your deportation, and you will be sent packing. You won’t be getting free college, schooling, medical care, housing, food, clothes, money, etc. If you want to apply for asylum you do that outside the U.S. and wait.
But Trach doing that, immediate deportations, is expressly prohibited by the Christian Bible
Aren’t we supposed to follow that?
Aren’t you supposed to show where deportations are prohibited in the Bible?
First he would need to steal a Bible or google it.
Where is aoc ?
No reasonable person can hold Biden responsible for the deaths of a few immigrant children. It is just as likely that those children would have died in their home countries as well. I am certain the people at CPB, INS, HHS and DHS did everything any humane person would have done to seek proper medical care.
Fentanyl “epidemic” deaths, yes.
Tens of thousands of children trafficked, yes.
Deaths of citizens at the hands of immigrant criminals, yes.
Deaths of hundreds or thousands of citizens who were denies the right to self defense, yes.
Deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to satisfy Neo-con blood lust, yes.
There is a difference between things that happen as a direct result of policy and things that just happen because it is a big planet with lots of people on it.
Mr Teach typed:
Does Mr Teach feel that Americans don’t know the name of the current president?
Another commenter typed, implying that President Biden was responsible for all the following deaths:
Actually, “excess” deaths in America are down now compared to “excess” deaths noted in the previous administration. Why? Because President Biden stopped Trump’s Covid-19 pandemic.
Like so many nuCons the commenter feels Ukraine should have welcomed Putin rather than fight the invasion.
The commenter mentions hundreds or thousands of Americans murdered as a result of not having the right to defend themselves.
