How Many Deaths Will It Take Till We Know That Too Many Children Have Died?
An eight-year old boy in Federal custody at the border died on Christmas Day. See Laura King, An 8-Year-Old Guatemalan Child Dies in U.S. Custody on Christmas Day After Being Treated For a Cold, Los Angeles Times Online December 25, 2018.
A seven-year old girl died in Federal custody at the border a week ago. See The U.S. Border is a Dangerous Place. Not by Mistake, Claims and Bad Faith Law Blog December 18, 2018.
Both times they told us that the children had been examined and that there were no signs of illness, but then the children died.
Who told us? The Federal agents responsible for the children's safety.
We only know that the children were "treated."
Tell us. Who treated the children? And how did they treat them?
Did Doctors treat the children?
Trained medical personnel?
More employees of the Federal Government?
Has anyone talked to them other than agents of the Federal Government?
Members of Congress and reporters have allowed themselves to be turned away from places where the children were housed and where other children are still kept.
The places like those where now children are dying.
What will it take for Members of Congress and reporters to get into these places, inspect them, and photograph them, for the sake of the children still held there if for no other reason?
For anyone to inspect these places other than the same Federal Government which imposes the cruel conditions under which children die now?
If they do not gain entry to these places, then the answer to the next question is pretty clear: Is the death of children the latest anti-immigration policy?
And if the answer to that question is "yes," then what in the name of Christmas are you going to do?
