On Wednesday, CBS "news" anchors pummeled U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan with questions, all of which attempted to put the blame for the child's death on his agency.
However, McAleenan made it clear that the decision to release the boy from the hospital was a decision made by the hospital professional medical staff, certainly not that of DHS. Any idiot should be aware of that save for CBS news, it appears.
Co-anchor Dana Jacobson’s first question to McAleenan: “In our reporting earlier, Commissioner, it was that the child had a 103-degree fever earlier in the day. Why bring a sick child back to a detention center instead of keeping him at the hospital?”
McAneenan replied, “That’s a call made by the medical professionals.”
As Newsbusters notes, Jacobson apparently couldn’t process McAleenan’s answer, so she pressed: “But are you satisfied with the medical conditions and facilities, I guess, resources – that are available at these detention centers? Should sick children come back into your custody there?”
McAleenan, stifling his exasperation, replied: “I’ve explained to Congress, I’ve testified on this, I’ve talked about it publicly for months and months,” before explaining in detail what Jacobson apparently couldn’t understand.
Later in the segment, CBS News correspondent and author Tony Dokoupil implied other illegal immigrant children might have died after being held by DHS, saying, “I'm curious. We know of two children who’ve died in the past month. Can you guarantee us that there are not more children that we have not heard about that have also passed away?”

Dokoupil obviously was trying to get him to confess that somehow it's the poor facilities of the United States that caused the deaths of the children, not the irresponsible behavior of the caretakers of these children who hauled them thousands of miles on a dangerous journey.
Let's be clear--if you drag your kid thousands of miles through dangerous territory and sadly he or she dies from the journey, do you really believe the blame goes to the people who have tried to render care and may have failed, or to the idiots who bring the children into the danger?
Hello fellow conservatives. At this time of year when everyone has a hand out for a hand-out, I don't. I simply want you to follow Brain Flushings and check out the ads on this page. It's free, I'm free and you're free to follow me or not. I hope you do.
