LORDSBURG – Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, called for the head of Customs and Border Protection to “step down” after a congressional delegation visited the New Mexico stretch of border where a 7-year-old girl died after crossing the border illegally and being taken into custody.
“There was nobody on board who could offer any kind of medical help to her and no medically trained personnel,” Castro said about the bus used by the Border Patrol to transport the child among a large group of migrants from Antelope Wells to Lordsburg.
On Tuesday, an 11-member delegation of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus retraced Jakelin Caal Maquin’s final steps, starting in the remote area where she and her father crossed the border with 163 other migrants near the Antelope Wells port of entry in New Mexico’s Bootheel.
Rep. Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico led the delegation during the tour of Antelope Wells and the Border Patrol’s Bounds Forward Operating Base. The Democrat said there is a “water contamination issue,” no running water, and two portable toilets for Border Patrol agents and the migrants they take into custody.
The delegation then took the same 1½-hour drive to the Lordsburg Border Patrol Substation for a tour of “what I would describe as inhumane holding cells, where we saw children with adults in overcrowded facilities with a shared toilet, completely open,” Luján told a news conference.
“A young girl and her mother wanted water in one of the holding facilities, but there were no cups,” Luján said.

LOL, San Francisco and feces....
I saw a map of San Francisco, with pics of feces, indicating places where fecal matter would be found.
I read an article recently, by someone in SF, who loves his city, but lamented that the stench of urine was very noticeable in many parts of town.
Too bad Joaquin Castro and his fellow anti-Americans cannot be prosecuted for making the US an attractive danger, much like an unfenced pool in an inner suburb.
Never hear a peep out of them when abuses or neglect at VA hospitals emerge.
Well, I demands skwakeen castro step down for being an idiot. Guess my demand won’t get fulfilled.
“When the senators are gone, then start with the congress.”
I thing you mean The House.

These younguns who run on feely touchy emotions dont know how childish and unprepared for life, they sound..or actually are. Poor things... how do they manage to get thru a day.
But politicians live a fake existence..
Yes, that is what I meant. Little brain freeze on my part. Thanks.
IMHO, Congress is far, far more culpable in this little girl’s death than ANY border official.
Castro is running for El President.
Castro,who gave access to everything during his employ of Jamal Awan? Castro, a Democratic intelligence committee member who didn’t fire Awan, even when told of suspicious activity with the house server.
Go pound sand Joaquin.
How many should step down because of the deaths in Chicago?

This is from one of the Castro twins. Their mama heads up La Raza in San Antonio, TX. They have their eye on the WH in 2020 so this “outrage” is just for the publicity of getting his name in the headlines. Just like the fake Hispanic, Beto. It’s nothing more than name recognition. Expect more headlines from them all.

Welcome to the Brain Freeze Club-——a very large group.:-)

Congressman ... short answer - no.
I think I have never been so disgusted. Seems like we are still living in the Obama years when the Left embraced Alinsky.
Shame that Joaquin is using the death of a little girl to propel his political ambitions. Pathetic.
IF Joaquin really GAS, he would insist that the Democrats fund a border wall. Once it is quite clear that entry into the US will not be through an illegal crossing, the behavior to sneak across will decline.
I hope not. He’s a very highly respected member of a group of people I am honored to be a part of. The BP agent in charge has stated unequivocally that he did everything he could to get that girl help, and that both he and the medic responsible for her care were both devastated losing her.
