Tragic.

Preventable.

Should have stayed home or anything but break in to the us illegally

Sad but can’t conjure up enough to be sorry.

Mom won’t forget this.

So…they passed through Colombia, where they could have stayed; and then, into Mexico, where they could have stayed…

That settles it.

We MUST supply boats for illegals to safely cross the Rio Grande and invade our nation.

Lots of Central American and South American countries attract U.S. retirees to live there, it's paradise compared to the slums of the U.S.A. That family could have stayed in Central America, worked hard and enjoyed paradise. It's not so good being homeless on the streets of U.S. cities. Stay home!

This is exactly why we need a moratorium on ALL immigration until we can properly vet folks coming here.

The 36-year-old school teacher living with her parents could no longer make ends meet in the face of triple-digit inflation. They traveled by bus from the western Venezuela oilfields to Medellin in the mountains of Colombia, where they boarded a flight to Mexico.

Who paid for the bus tickets and the airline tickets?

That was my first thought too. They even somehow managed a plane ride. I guess there wasn’t going to be enough free schit in those countries though.

Well the one silver lining in an otherwise horrific tragedy is she will never suffer intense racism

Like that is not going to happen here. It is actually part of the plan for us. Flood the country with illegals. Borrow the money to give them every benefit. And then watch inflation skyrocket here in the US.

“Certainly there must be someone in the the US government the family can sue....”

Maybe the federally placed lifeguards at the river that the media isn’t telling you about. Like the hotels, the busses, the airlines, the housing on arrival.....

So mom had plenty of $ to buy bus and airplane tix, and the $3k-$5k per person to pay the drug cartels to pass through their territory. That’s A LOT of money for a Venezuelan. But she “had” to try to sneak into the US bc of poverty, you see.

Kid is dead and mom is responsible, but they were invited by dems to try. The only reason she tried is bc of the dem policy to give a free pass to anyone toting a kid. You can even rent a Mexican kid for $400 if you don’t have one of your own. Make it and you’re golden: free health care, housing, food, and the stupid Gringos will pay for it all. Or lose a kid. Or two. That’s the price this mom was willing to pay. But it did get the mom into the US. She’ll never be deported.

the mother had a bad plan....absolutely, and she was committing a crime...

but I'll say this...

we as freepers, Americans, Christians....should never rejoice at the death of an innocent little child....NEVER....and making fun of this incident is making fun of her death...

God bless this poor little girl and her family.

Could no longer make ends meet...so she sneaks into MY country to get on Uncle Sam’s gravy train for life. Should have stayed home, stayed alive.

Bottom line, she killed her daughter. Poor child.
