7-year-old migrant dies after illegal border crossing

A 7-year-old girl, whose parents took her along on the dangerous journey to attempt entering the United States illegally, has died after being caught jumping the border. It's believed the cause of death was due to the elements the parents exposed her to on the arduous journey.

Somehow, it feels as if the media is going to blame President Trump for the child's death, not the parents who exposed her to the rough trek.

The child was found December 6 by Border Patrol agents and was part of a larger group of illegal migrants from Central America who had just crossed into the U.S. She was in Border Patrol custody for eight hours, and agents observed that she was having seizures and had a fever of 105.7 degrees.

She was flown by air ambulance to a hospital in El Paso, had a heart attack, was revived but did not recover and died within a day, Homeland Security stated.

Homeland Security said, in a statement, that the girl was “overcome by the elements” of the journey, and said the blame lies with the adults who made her take the trip, which is absolutely true.

“As we have always said, traveling north illegally is extremely dangerous. Drug cartels, human smugglers and the elements pose deadly risks to anyone who comes across the border illegally,” the department said, without mentioning the fact that a very large percentage of young women are sexually violated along the journey.

Traveling with a child is key to the illegal border crossing plans due to a 2015 court ruling whereby families are put into a more lenient track for enforcement and are released from custody usually within 20 days. There’s been a rise in the number of men attempting to come to the border with children, which experts attribute to that fact.

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said the group of illegal migrants the girl was with was caught 90 miles away from a processing center and had to be transported. Due to the number of people in the group, it took substantial time to process all of them and to spot the child's condition, which explains the eight hours she was in custody.

“We gave immediate care,” when her condition was spotted, Kirstjen told Fox News Friday morning.

Officials said an autopsy is expected but may take weeks to get results, and they said an internal investigation will determine if the agents followed the right procedures.

The right procedure in this case would also be charging the parents with endangering the welfare of a child, but that isn't going to happen. Rather, the media will find a way to make this a political issue and point fingers at the Trump administration.

I can't wait to learn what Joy[less] Behar will say about it on "The View."
