Bring your sick and dying children to the US border for a political point.
How many have died on their way through Mexico?

They bring in a sick kid that dies here and it’s our fault.

Notice how they use the word “child” in the headline when in fact it was a 16 year old.

They use "child" only when it suits their narrative.

I've had 16 year olds in my class that already had fathered two kids and had a year or two of jail time.

We never hear any numbers on how many children die in Mexico being drug 2,000 miles from home by their parents or fake-parents.

We caught 8000 children in march, so if the numbers are the same, we’ve caught 32,000 children since January 1st.

5 deaths out of 32,000, is actually very close to the child mortality rate, which is about 4.2 per 33,000 for 4 months (38 per 100,000 for a year).

Children die. When you have so many of them, some of them are going to die. And frankly, given that the death rate in honduras is 5 per 1000 (per year), they are much safer in BP custody than in their home countries.

If we really wanted to run up the death toll, we could simply release all the migrant children into Chicago.

We need to spread it loud and clear, America is racist and we will kill your children! Let’s see if that slows hem down.

Who cares? If the parents of these “children” don’t care, we should be asking why they are abusing their “children”? Throw these bums out of OUR country...all of them! Build the wall. Enforce our laws!

My superpower is being able to read between the lines. What Nomaan (if that's his real name) is saying is he ( or she) blames the political leaders of the dead child's country for perpetuating a system that motivates its citizens/peons to risk life and limb in order to reach a country that has the potential to provide the type of lifestyle that should be ardently promoted by said leaders back home.

My other superpower is sarcasm. Obviously Nomaan is saying no such thing.

Woodstock 1969 was a city of 400,000 people and 2 died in just 3 days! extrapolate it and it is far worse than this marginal statistic.

The media doesn’t seem to be too concerned about the American children killed by illegal aliens from Mexico.

How many US citizens have died at the hands of illegal immigrants over the past 4 years?

I’m willing to be a HIGH number they do not want to publish

This is not the fault of the border patrol - just propaganda.
