Kirstjen Nielsen issued a statement yesterday:
Secretary Kirstjen M. Nielsen Statement on Passing of Eight Year Old Guatemalan Child
Murderous, callous, and chickenshits. The word is death. Nielsen’s statement is on the death of the eight year old Guatemalan child.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen M. Nielsen today released the following statement on the eight year-old Guatemalan national who passed away shortly before midnight on December 24 at Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center in Alamogordo, New Mexico:
“In the evening hours of December 24th, a child who had been apprehended with his father by the Border Patrol attempting to illegally enter the United States, died at an El Paso hospital after being taken for emergency treatment for the second time in less than 12 hours. This tragedy, the death of a child in government custody is deeply concerning and heartbreaking. In the last 24 hours, I have a directed a series of additional actions to care for those who enter our custody.”
Then she gets to the “they’re swarming our border” part.
“Our system has been pushed to a breaking point by those who seek open borders. Smugglers, traffickers, and their own parents put these minors at risk by embarking on the dangerous and arduous journey north. This crisis is exacerbated by the increase in persons who are entering our custody suffering from severe respiratory illnesses or exhibit some other illness upon apprehension. Given the remote locations of their illegal crossing and the lack of resources, it is even more difficult for our personnel to be first responders.”
Yes, it’s all their fault. They come here solely to get on our nerves and to get publicity when their children die.
That’s the St Louis. They weren’t on that ship for the fun of it.
Before we sent them packing back to Germany, where about a third of them were murdered.
Das Trumpf is directly blaming the Democrats for the deaths. His ‘logic’ being that if the Dems weren’t blocking the funding for Wall, Wall would have been built already and the children wouldn’t have been able to enter Trumpland, much less have the bad manners to die there, too. Yes, they’d have died on the not-Trumpland side, but that would be Mexico’s fault for letting them get so far into the
shitholecountry, and the parents’ fault for taking the kids on a futile journey to Impenetrable Wall. Obviously, Wall or no Wall, Donnie is as blameless as a new-born.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/29/government-shutdown-donald-trump-democrats
“…and their own parents put these minors at risk by embarking on the dangerous and arduous journey north.”
Right, because they should all know by now we will imprison and neglect them.
I know, right? It’s almost as though they’re desperate enough to ignore the message, isn’t it? Trump, of course, probably takes it personally – not the deaths, the fact that they’re ignoring his dire warnings. Proof they’re criminals or…or….something Bad. Many people tell him so.
