House lawmakers on Wednesday heard emotional testimony from a Guatemalan woman seeking asylum in the United States whose two-year-old daughter contracted a lung infection while at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Texas and died shortly after their release.

Yazmin Juárez, who is suing the federal government over her daughter Mariee’s death, detailed for the House Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties the treatment she received from immigration officials at the detention center. She blamed improper medical care, “terrible and inadequate” living conditions and a culture of neglect at the migrant holding facilities along the border for her daughter’s death.

“We came to the U.S. in the hope of finding a better life for us,” Juárez said through a translator. “Unfortunately that did not happen. Instead my baby girl died slowly and painfully just months before her third birthday.”

Juárez added: “I am here today because the world needs to know what is going on in ICE detention centers.”

Piss on this idiot and her daughter. You weren’t invited. You broke our laws, you endangered your daughters life and now your suing the taxpayers to pay for your crimal stupidity?

[stevem]

What was she doing in ICE detention. Why wasn’t she home?

[Irish Eyes]

This is getting SO out of control. I am beginning to hate the democrats in congress.

[MayflowerMadam]

“Beginning”? What took you so long?

[MayflowerMadam]

Probably coached by Christine Blasey Ford’s acting coach. She broke the law, and SHE’s the victim? Sorry... no.

Pretty fancy manicure, and the latest eyebrow fad.....someone sure has a lot of cash to spend on her appearance. Escaping poverty and oppression my a*%

“We came to the U.S. in the hope of finding a better life for us,” Juárez said through a translator. “Unfortunately that did not happen. Instead my baby girl died slowly and painfully just months before her third birthday.”

She came here in hopes of smuggling herself and her baby girl into the US illegally. She could have stayed where she belonged and cared for her child, but she instead chose to involve her child in her crime. She belongs in prison - in another country.

Who cares. This idiot essentially killed her child while she broke federal laws. What a pathetic child abuser.

[Irish Eyes]

Ok I will admit it, it has been over 2 years now. Is that better?

House Oversight and Reform Committee Democrats tweeted, and then deleted, a picture Tuesday of an Obama-era migrant detention center to attack Republicans ahead of a Wednesday hearing on President Donald Trump’s policies of “putting migrant kids in cages.”

On Tuesday, the House Reform and Oversight Committee Democrats used a picture from 2014, during the Obama administration, in a tweet to attack Republicans and President Donald Trump ahead of their Wednesday hearing on alleged “inhumane treatment at the border.”

The House Oversight and Reform Committee has since deleted the tweet.

So, did the poor child contract it while at the site or did she bring it....and who might she have contracted it from?
Seems like the best way to protect children from getting sick at these sites would be to stop letting the diseased hordes from accumulating on our side of the border...

“We came to the U.S. in the hope of finding a better life for us,” Juárez said through a translator. “Unfortunately that did not happen. Instead my baby girl died slowly and painfully just months before her third birthday.”

In other words: I neglected my child in an effort to Invade your COuntry Illegally, my child died as a result of my Criminal Activity, Please PUT ME IN PRISON so I won't harm any other children.
