She had a liver problem and reportedly hadn't eaten or drank anything for several days, Angrier Mitchell.

On Friday's Andrea Mitchell Reports, host Mitchell asserted that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was "blaming the victim" when she correctly warned that it is very dangerous to cross the desert illegally in reaction to recent news of a child dying of dehydration after her father crossed the desert illegally from Mexico.
Correspondent Jacob Soboroff suggested that the Trump administration is "forcing" illegals to cross under dangerous circumstances through the desert because of long wait times at legal ports of entry. And, in the segment that lasted eight minutes, no one got around to clarifying that the number of detainees who die in the custody of Border Patrol each year is about the same as it was during the Obama administration.
Mitchell: Trump Admin 'Blaming the Victim' After Child of Illegal Dies
At 12:46 p.m. Eastern, after recalling that the girl died in Border Patrol custody after her father reportedly took her through the desert, depriving her of food and water for days, Mitchell then brought aboard Soboroff who soon complained:
It's a terrible situation, Andrea, but it's not one, I hate to say, that is all that surprising given the conditions that migrants are crossing in these days because of the enforcement strategy by the Trump administration and, critics would say, largely forcing people to cross in the desert, having a hard time presenting in ports of entry.
He soon noted that "deaths in the desert are going up," as he related that some blame the Trump administration's "deterrent-type policy."
A bit later, right-leaning never Trump MSNBC contributor Charlie Sykes declared that President Donald Trump is "demagoguing" a "humanitarian crisis" on the border, and complained about "cruelty."
"We have the juxtapositon of the cruelty and the human loss versus the crude distortion that we're getting from the White House. We're seeing this week the intersection of the corruption and cruelty of this administration," Sykes stated.
Mitchell soon showed a clip of Secretary Nielsen from the same day's Fox and Friends in which she warned against the dangers of illegal immigrants crossing through the desert. In reaction, Mitchell bristled: "That sounds to me like blaming the victim."
Former Democratic Congressman Steve Israel not surprisingly then agreed with her negative critique of Nielsen as he responded.
blaming the perp is more like it
No one is forcing illegal aliens to cross the desert hoping to invade the US. But liberals sure are doing everything they can to increase the numbers of alien invaders. Yet they feel no sense of culpability.
forcing people to cross in the desert, having a hard time presenting in ports of entry.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t you just hate it when you are forced to break the law????
Andrea Mitchell is right at the top of my list. Very possibly the worst person on TV.
Blaming the Parents.
Those closest to being responsible for their offspring.
Uncle Sugar apparently was only on the support side [too late unfortunately].
who cares what she thinks.
14 Dec: Judicial Watch: Judicial Watch: Documents Reveal Obama State Department Urgently Provided Classified ‘Russiagate’ Documents to Multiple Senators Immediately Ahead of Trump Inauguration

The documents reveal that among those receiving the classified documents were Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD), and Sen. Robert Corker (R-TN)...

She defended Clinton during the Lewinsky scandal, but acts as though she is an icon of morality. She has no honor, and with regards truth, she is clueless.
Andrea needs to go fix Central America, with her own funds.
We need to see her Tax Returns, for at least the last 10 years.
I wouldn’t suggest traveling with a kid when they’re sick.....she arrived with a 105 plus fever. The father was negligent at the get go.
Trump SS storm troopers marching illegals across desert at gun point. There fixed the headlines to MSNBC standards.
You said it and I couldn’t agree more.
A 105 fever is VERY dangerous.
.
That (rymes with itch) doesn;t even know what morality is.
They were told not to come. They brought children into a war zone.. it was their doing. It is not the responsibility of our government to take care of all who were sick... that was a way to get across the border.
The report tonight on Fox said she became sick and she was taken to a hospital in El Paso.. where she worsened and died. Someone DID take care of her.. she didn’t make it. How does anyone know but that she had something else that took her. There was a lot of sickness in the caravan.. diseases.
The liberal left who are so gone on all this, it’s not worth repeating or posting their dribble. Everything is Trump’s fault.. and I wish they’d all find another country to go live in.. being insulted and called names... by those elite gossipers who only know how to hate. You will someday reap what you have sown.
I forget but I think 106 your dead
The article states that "her father crossed the desert illegally from Mexico." Oh yeah? Prove it! Prove that was her father. That was certainly not fatherly behavior. More like some zealot activist bent on ruining this country.
