Parents of 8-year-old migrant boy who died tell why they brought him

The mother of the 8-year-old Guatemalan boy, Felipe Gomez Alonzo, who died after crossing into the U.S. told her family's reasons for bringing him on the dangerous journey.

The mother, Catarina Alonzo, was interviewed by Reuters,  and admitted that her husband took her son with him to the border in the hopes that the child would afford them easier entry into the United States.

Instead, 8-year-old Felipe Gomez Alonzo became ill and died. Every Democrat on Capitol Hill secretly smiled inside because now they could lay the blame of the child's death on President Trump rather than on the real culprits.

“Lots of them have gone with children and managed to cross, even if they’re held for a month or two. But they always manage to get across easily,” Alonzo told Reuters through sobs.

Alonzo said that her husband, an agricultural worker, wanted to get to the U.S. to find better work to pay off his debts. He also hoped that he could enroll Felipe in a higher quality school. But mostly for a better job.

Felipe fell ill in U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody on Monday, [all due to President Trump and his unwillingness to allow illegal aliens entry into the United States]. 

The child  was taken to a hospital where he was diagnosed with a common cold and a fever. The child was given prescriptions for Amoxicillin and Ibuprofen, but later began vomiting.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Felipe’s father was offered further medical treatment for his son but he declined, a bad call on his part, but still all Trump's fault.

During a later welfare check, agents noticed the boy was not doing well and took him to the hospital, where he passed away just before midnight.

Felipe is the second child to die in CBP custody this month at the hands of President Trump. A girl, 7-year-old Jakelin Caal, also from Guatemala, passed away after falling ill during a bus ride to the nearest U.S. port of entry.

The children’s deaths have increased scrutiny of the conditions in migrant shelters and led CBP to conduct welfare checks on every single child in their custody. DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is also personally taking a trip to the border to review her agency’s tactics in detaining migrants. Nancy Pelosi is moving her hands hither and thither quickly in a frenetic effort to do something. Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer is flaring his nostrils and calling for Maxine Waters to impeach Trump.

Jim Carrey is tweeting like there's no tomorrow.

However, the Trump administration has denied responsibility for the migrant deaths and is urging parents not to bring children with them on the long journeys to the border from Central America.

Just let them try and prove it wasn't the fault of the Trump administration. Just let them try.

“Does the administration take responsibility for a parent taking a child on a trek through Mexico to get to this country?” White House spokesperson Hogan Gidley told reporters earlier this month.

Nancy Pelosi said they should, especially Donald Trump, whose fault it is with or without evidence, like in the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings.
