shame on parents who don't know enough about the care of their children. What parent wouldn't give their child water in the desert

LeMeTellUSumtin There is an article in today’s WallStreetJournal that clearly states that the migrants are being offered jobs in Mexico.

O...h.

Some of you people are so disgusting with your views of justifying the inhumane and sadistic policies that are being inflected on the poor, and helpless to the So. is shameful beyond words. Where were all you people hiding all these years? Death before dishonor, not this America.

Massacrei, crianças, queimei famílias, roubei as terras palestinas agora quero reconhecimento parando que eu fiz. HITLER TINHA RAZÃO OS FANÁTICOS JUDEUS SÃO UM CÂNCER, este palavras Sá o GÊNIO JUDEU. ALBERTO ENSTEIEN.

Parents fault for dragging her through that hell that killed her

My question is: Why didn’t CBP call in a helicopter with paramedics right away, rather than forcing the girl to wait for an hour and a half to be medically assessed?

Her father killed her.

Education time for the MSM and Democrats. Immigration, World Poverty and Gumballs -

The family of the 7-year-old girl is responsible for putting her life in danger crossing into the United States ILLEGALLY, breaking USA laws. Immigration is not a right, but a privilege to be respected. Lawless immigration is a threat to our security, our economy,& justice

Once again the pathetic FAKE NEWS CNN doesn’t tell the whole story. This girl was in US custody for 8 HOURS before she died of dehydration & septic shock. That doesn’t happen in a matter of hours. Her father is to blame for his negligence and his child’s neglect.

Here’s the real story.

The dad should be charged with reckless endangerment of a minor and subsequently charged with that child's death. If an American parent were to take their child on a 2000 mile trek through the desert with no food or water, they would be facing charges and the child taken away.

CNN sucks

gracels she was in a pediatric ICU in TX...

Her father killed her from putting her through what he did. He should do life behind bars. But go ahead and try to blame Trump for it FakeNewsCNN

Whats with the hostile title? Oh yea...

if her parents really didn't want her to die, they would have never taken her along. their fault.

It's the fathers fault for putting his little 7 year old daughter on that kind of dangerous journey !! Her death is HER FATHERS FAULT & LIES !!

STUPID! CNN, nice try.

Sepsis, this little girl traveled for three month's and went into septic shock and severe dehydration. She should have never neen found in the desert by the border controle. The wall ,let that sink in.

Let’s talk about the days leading up to

Arrest her father for child endangerment

My question is very simple. Is every US citizen now responsible for the consequences of the illegal act of violating our Sovereignty. The parents broke our laws and put there daughter at risk. Excuse me, if I did this I would go to jail.

Parents’s fault 100 percent!

Maybe you should be taking up this with the father or the Mexican authorities as we can feel bad but not guilty.

Hmmm......it was border patrol who tried to save her. Her supposed father murdered her.

Fake news

The Iron Curtain just extended overseas.

Posed picture?

Her father should be charged with child abuse

JuddApatow Per NPR: “Jakelin Caal Maquin's father is now with a charity group in El Paso and told the Guatemalan consul that he has no complaints about the way his daughter was treated by the Border Patrol or medical staff”. FATHER HAS NO COMPLAINTS!!! Now stop the fake outrage!

Her parents should be prosecuted.

It takes days to die of thirst

They tried to save her. She was 90 miles from an entry point

Go back hear the words of Bill then Hillary. Obama then Schumer. ALL ALL said we need to do something about illegals. Now they say Trump is mean. Stop playing politics and fix the problem that's what we pay you stupid people for.

So sweet the left now uses a dead little girl to attack Trump - bless your heart, you care enough about her to use her death in politics other than that “you really don’t care”

She didn’t get dehydrated in the last 7 hours of her life. Her father traipsed her across Mexico for days without food or water. THAT is how she became dehydrated. She SHOULD have been taken from a single parent under the child trafficking treaty.

Read the report. You don’t die from dehydration or starvation in this amount of time. Don’t blame the government for this or trump without blaming the president when similar things occurred in 2015.

Guess if they stayed in GuateDAMNmala, this wouldn't have happened, now would it?

Cheers to all of the clickbait, agenda-driven media folks who are reporting that it was not the weeks of being forced to walk through the desert that killed this little girl; it was those 90 minutes on Trump’s CBP bus that really killed her

Her Parents are to blame not the border patrol!

Paternal negligent homicide is acceptable with CNN as well!!

Why do you keep saying she died in BP custody as if it’s their fault, when they made every effort to save her Are you oblivious to the fact that this is why tens of millions of Americans view you as fake news for stories just like this? You KNOW you’re misrepresenting. Sick!

YOU ARE THE ENEMY!

DISGUSTING FAKENEWS is the enemyofthepeople daily misleading the herd animals on the left This girls death is the result of her parents falling victim to liberals encouragement to invade our nation someone doesn't die in 8 hours of malnutrition

CNN is going to tap dance on this girl's grave for their political agenda

Her father should be arrested for child abuse

Now the father must be a republican. Lol.

Don’t make children victim of your hunger for power and money. Shoot each other if you’re not mature enough to talk, but DO NOT HURT INNOCENT CHiLDREN!

What about the DAYS she went without food and water.... yep realDonaldTrump is to blame not her caregivers. Disgusting.

U covered this more than Kate Steinle. So sad what uve become.

Unfortunately, that boulder was rolling long before the custody of Border Patrol. Small events, uncorrected, lead to large events.

The Newsmedia has ran multiple versions of this story. Why? The analytics they run in the background when they tweet stuff actually allows them to manipulate the audience. This Girl’s death is truly tragic and sad. But we need to stop enabling the Newsmedia please!!!

Sad story, but the news media needs to put the blame for the death where it belongs. The Dad stated that his daughter did not eat or drink several days before they illegally crossed the US border. News media needs to quit blaming the United States for the illegal alien problems.

JuddApatow America will never erase the Trump stain. Never.

. Sue Guatemala ....see how far that goes

Does it ever get tiring?

You people really have tragedy porn down to a science, don’t you.

How sad that we cannot trust that this is the full and true sequence of events because it came from DHS. The agency has lied to us so many times over immigration scandals.

Agenda, agenda, agenda......

Now do the several days before.

Whynot report on the three days her father had her with NO FOOD OR DRINK! How is this Trump and Americas fault... By this logic EVERY YOUNG GIRL RAPED ON THOSE TRAINS FEW YEARS AGO WAS OBAMA FAULT!!! Remember those 12 year old girls raped 30 to 50 TIMES PER DAY?

I blame the father. Apparently, illegal immigration is okay with CNN.

They were interviewed by agents to determine if they needed medical care. Her father signed a form saying he and Jakelin (girl) were healthy. ...Her father knew she was sickly and had the responsibility to say so. Maybe at that time she could have gotten expedited medical help.

Bait and Click headline. R u going stop misrepresenting CBP

I wonder if her dad will be held accountable for child abuse.

The ICEgov hating Democrat trolls are out in full force trying to blame ICE for the negligence of this child's father. Yes it's a tragedy; an entirely preventable one if only he had followed the law instead of the advice of the open borders cabal.

News flash - CNN will say anything if they can make sound like Trumps fault.

They were interviewed by agents to determine if they needed medical care. Her father signed a form saying he and Jakelin were healthy.

Are we still talking about the girl that got abused by the other migrants? CNNisFakeNews Try telling the WHOLE STORY..

Any support for these caravans is support for humantrafficking The parent must be charged with child neglect. All of these traffickers and parents must understand that they will be charged for risking children . Why they didn’t accept asylum in Mexico.

It takes days to dehydrate. It was her parents

Septic shock not 'sepsis shock'

How about the days before where her parents deprived her?

When you apprehend illegal immigrants the least you can do is provide them with water and immediate medical care as we do American prisoners. ChristianBehavior

What’s also a tragedy is that you keep tweeting about this 24/7 to get people fighting.

I love how many people are quick to blame the government when this girl was a basically a goner by the time we found her. Malnutrition doesn’t happen in a few hours. How about instead of blaming the government for attempting to save a life, blame the father’s lack of parenting 🤷🏻‍♂️

Am I missing any gross negligence in anyone’s duty?

What happened? The father signed a form stating the girl was healthy then moments later she's vomiting then later stops breathing? Where is the disconnect? Did the father not understand the original form he signed? Was she sick this entire time? What happened!

The final hours after her father drags her through three countries in horrible conditions. The father should be arrested for child endangerment.

Tell us about the last couple days of her life...

Parents should be put in jail

*murdered by US Border Patrol

News you will never see on CNN

and the TrumpAdministration says nothing. ChildKillerInChief IndivisibleTeam TheResistance SignOfResistance voteGOPout in 2020. resist Resistance indivisible

For those of you who don’t read the story-her parents denied her food and water, then told CBP that she was in good health. When CBP found out that she was sick, they airlifted her to get treatment. This is 100% the fault of the parents.

How sad and touching....

Why do the Dopey Democrats keep luring these people to come here?

Border patrol waited 90 minutes before this little girl got medical treatment this is a crime.

Parent's should be prosecuted for force marching their kids across the desert without food and water.

So if im dragged thru the desert with no water and make it to a hospital then die days later, is it the hospitals fault?

She should have been getting medical care. This is a tragedy

A heart-wrenching homecoming for 7-year-old Guatemalan girl who died in Border Patrol custodyThe body of Jakelin Caal, a 7-year-old girl who died while in custody of the U.S. Border Patrol, arrived in her native Guatemala on Sunday and was driven hours into the countryside to be handed over to family members for a last goodbye. In the village of San Antonio Secortez, relatives set up a small wooden altar flanked by vases overflowing with flowers, with photographs of Jakelin Caal and the hand-lettered message, 'We miss you.' “Death by dehydration is torture. Over several days, the body’s cells shrink and its organs begin to fail, until the dehydrated person falls into a coma and dies... To treat a human being this way is shocking and barbaric.” --George McGraw, The Nation, 10/6/2016. Congress needs to call DHS Sec Kirstjen Nielsen CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan and El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Aaron Hull for answers on how the 7 year old girl died.
