The Washington Post, which every day acts more and more like an integral part of the democrat party, generated an article that is as offensive as it was misleading.
Got that? The Border Patrol killed her, right? The Border Patrol refused her water for days, right?
Except that's not what happened.
The Washington Post’s article led with concerns that the child’s death, which occurred a week prior to publication, would lead to scrutiny of conditions at detention centers for families crossing the border into the United States. It read:But thenThe child’s death is likely to intensify scrutiny of detention conditions at Border Patrol stations and CBP facilities that are increasingly overwhelmed by large numbers of families seeking asylum in the United States.
But beginning in the fourth paragraph, the Washington Post’s own report refutes the notion that Border Patrol bears responsibility for the girl’s death.The WaPoo put out a deliberately misleading article and lamebrained liberals jumped all over it.Noting that she began to suffer from seizures just over eight hours after being taken into custody and that her temperature quickly spiked to 105.7 degrees, WaPo reported that emergency responders were called right away and the girl was revived and taken to a hospital. She died within 24 hours of being transported, and Border Patrol records show that she had not been given food or water for several days prior.
The girl and her family entered the US illegally, of course, and her father said nothing of her being ill for seven hours after being placed in custody:
CBP officials stated that the father of the seven-year-old girl who died in Border Patrol custody on December 7 claimed she was in good health until seven hours after they were apprehended. The father made mention of the girl being sick as they began a two-hour bus ride from the forward operating base to the Lordsburg Border Patrol Station.Despite their trespass in a remote area, the group of 163 illegals was properly processed:
Due to the remote location, only four Border Patrol agents were available at the time for processing this group of migrants, the official stated. During the initial screening, the agents asked the migrants a series of 20 questions concerning their health and other demographic information. Officials said the agents asked the father the questions in Spanish and translated his answers to English for documentation on the form. The father reportedly checked the box on the I-779 immigration form that said his daughter had no current illnesses.The CBP did not kill this little girl. Her father did. His desire to enter the US illegally put her in jeopardy and he bears the blame for her death.

Our local news led off with, “A 7yr old girl from Guatemala was KILLED while in BP custody.”
Nothing inflammatory and fake about that, right?....
What this shows is that the instant these migrants arrive, the US taxpayer becomes responsible for their healthcare.
"DHS claims in their statement, however, that they interviewed the Caal family and offered them food and water. The father denied that Jackeline was ill and signed a form indicating that there were no visible signs of trauma and that the child appeared to be in good health, according to a copy reviewed by the Associated Press.
By her dad...
Surprised that the media didn’t call her murder a peaceful and painless death like they did about a certain other person’s murder some 13 1/2 years ago.
Oh, wait, does that need a sarc tag?
God in Heaven; why did you make leftists so freakin’ stupid?
They are child-like in their naivete. Maybe even toddler-like. No innocence though since they lie like a rug.
Great post. Thanks.
The MSM is making itself irrelevant. You simply cannot go there for truth anymore.
