The DHS inspector general (IG) on Friday released two statements regarding the deaths of 7-year-old Jakelin Amei Rosmery Caal Maquin, who died Dec. 8, 2018, and 8-year-old Felipe Gómez Alonzo, who died Dec. 24, 2018, saying in both cases "the investigation found no misconduct or malfeasance by DHS personnel.”
I’m sure this IG report will be received with the same acceptance as the FBI claim of no bias in the initiation.
This has become an impossible situation. The system and the personnel were never designed to handle over 100,000 people seeking to gain access onto US soil by any means possible.

What shouldn’t be done with an overloaded system, is change policy to jam them all into facilities that cannot handle the surge. That doesn’t help anything, unless cruelty is the objective.

This is what gets me.
8 hours had gone by without giving this girl water and food?
Eight hours after she was detained, she reportedly began having seizures. Emergency responders found that she “reportedly had not eaten or consumed water for several days," according to the Post’s review of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) records.
Felipe crossed the border with his father and was later taken to a hospital in Alamogordo, N.M., with a cold. Though he was found to have a fever of 103 degrees, he was released from the hospital at 3 p.m. He later began vomiting and died around midnight.
Now bias played no role in this but you have to admit it’s extremely sloppy…even if they were being overwhelmed.
So my question is…how many open border advocates doctors came to aid to help with medical attention of those that came to United States during this crisis?

Back when this was happening, the adminstration was still pretending these centers were pristine summer camps. Why would volunteer doctors show up if they believed that?

So those pictures and videos that left-wing media was showing night after night of over crowded facilities were fake?

Absolutely. The Congress needs to work with the President to help control this problem, not trying to find errors resulting from the failure to fix this problem.
Something needs to be done to stop these fake en masse asylums, for instance. And increase that border barrier…or whatever you want to call it.
Complaining and demanding perfection in handling an impossible situation isn’t the answer.

Those children could not have climbed a wall and due to that fact, may have never been forced to leave their home. Build the wall and this may never occur again or at least…be greatly reduced and isn’t that what everyone wants?

As opposed to presumed guilt because it is government?

So you didn’t get my point?
I agree that’s why for this type of situation is physical barrier is the best solution.

What can’t be done under any circumstances is just to release these people into the public. That is conceding that we have no intention of enforcing our immigration laws and inviting illegals from all over the world. The one obvious step we should all agree upon is reinforcing our border. However, politics is slowing that down.
