How did Native Americans get killed off?
Numerous diseases were brought to North America, including smallpox , bubonic plague, chickenpox, cholera, the common cold, diphtheria, influenza , malaria, measles , scarlet fever, sexually transmitted diseases, typhoid, typhus, tuberculosis, pertussis ( whooping cough), etc.
Our kids are no long able to fight off these sicknesses…Ask your doctor!
There is something missing; there is more to this situation. Most people’S immune systems, even upon primary exposure, destroy the virus within 1-2 weeks. I wonder if this boy had undiagnosed AIDS, which would make him more susceptible to oppotunistic infections? Either that or it was another more deadly adenovirus. Either way, the government is not necessarily responsible, because they went on what they knew based on the documentation provided. Let’s wait until the autopsy is complete. (I might edit this when I have time to read the article.)
This is what the left does- using people’s personal tragedies as political footballs. But alas, that is the core of identity politics.
Okay, but you can’t just say that about the left. The right has done their fair share of political football punting as well. The four men killed in Benghazi alone were handed off, passed around, and spiked for over seven years. The lady in San Francisco was used much the same way. Some on the right are just as guilty as some on the left.
Don’t fall intp the trap of making lazy generalizations. You’re too smart for that.

Is there anyone in the Administration now who has been accused of issuing a stand down order to physicians or has come out to say what difference does it make now about this?
Benghazi and these two deaths in custody do not line up.
Its not a “personal” tragedy. This was a young child under watch in a government facility. The fact that you just write it off as a meh whatever is … interesting. I guess I can understand it though, given how people view immigrants as diseased animals. Ya’ll got more upset over NFLers kneeling than the death of a young child.
According to an updated report, after being discharged from the hospital the father of the child declined further medical assistance once back in the detention center.
Following the child’s first discharge from the hospital, both he and the father were put into a temporary holding facility where agents were aware of the child’s illness and provided the child with his medication. A few hours after the father and boy entered the facility, the child complained of being nauseous and later vomited.
It was at this point the father declined further medical treatment for his son and told officials he “had been feeling better,” an official said.
During a subsequent welfare check, agents at the facility noticed the child’s condition and transported him to the hospital. The child later lost consciousness during transit and was eventually declared dead just before midnight.
Poor kid. .

This whole thing is tragic. But unrelated to the tragedy of a child dying, I personally would not trust anything from the Daily Caller without corroborating evidence. They have been caught too many times deceiving their readers with fake news and fake sources. Do you have any links from any reputable source for this?
DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen criticized the government for the boy’s death. According to USA Today, she called the boy’s death a “deeply concerning and heartbreaking” tragedy and USA Today said she cited U.S. immigration system failings for a growing border crisis. Sad to see some people trying to draw criticism away from the government. They set this situation up. Of course, they’re responsible.
How many kids who go to a Doctors office or hospital are immediately hospitalized and kept for a 103 degree fever?
Well first of all the source is kinda sketchy

Father allegendly said his son was feeling better and didn’t want any further treatment. What if Boarder patrol had followed the fathers wishes?
Again, the source is the sketchy kind.

Ask a doctor, but as a parent, I wouldn’t let that kid go.
So if the Doctor says here’s a couple prescriptions, watch them closely . . . you’d look the Doc in the eye (you know the professional) and tell them you want your child admitted to the hospital?
Also remember as a parent, more than likely you wouldn’t go to the emergency room unless you couldn’t get in to see your normal family doctor.
Guessing you don’t have kids. I’ve had a kid with a fever higher than that, and they were not hospitalized.
You’re wrong because depending on the age of the child, especially if it’s an infant, 103 can be very dangerous.
And I do have a son, though he’s over 21 now.
Do the doctors in the United States have history on this child? Would he be treated any differently than any child that came in with cold/flue symtoms?
Why would he be treated different without knowing his medical history? Did daddy dearest fill out the paperwork wrong?
keep in mind if the other article has accurate information, Daddy dearest didn’t want him to go back to the hospital when his symptoms were getting worse.
I’m not playing the usual game of parse every single scenario ad infinitum with you. They decided today to give all the kids medical checks. That should tell you they know they dropped the ball.
No it doesn’t. How many screanings to apparently healthy kids get normally?
Say two kids in a school fall ill, is there a manditory screening for all kids at the school?
That’s totally irrelevant. This isn’t school.
Healthy kids in a US school haven’t just spent weeks trekking on foot across Mexico, having left behind a life of questionable health and safety.
