A second child's death prompts U.S. Customs and Border Protection to order medical checks of all children in its custody and says it needs the help of other government agencies to provide health care.

Good. If the child is carry illness, then he or she goes to a hospital and the family goes to the nearest detainment center.

thegarance Don’t “take them into custody” in the first place — that is kidnapping! — instead leave children with their families!

kulkarni_nina What's this going to cost?

American hospital released child, 103 fever, w prescription. Just like they do, thousands of times daily. Died due to medical malpractice, like 200k Americans every year. He's really a victim of our terrible healthcare system, that costs more than any other country in the world.

Now they want to do medical checks...

Hmmm, so children in their custody shouldn’t be left to die? What a novel idea for the Trumpists.

Something tells me...the practice of dumping water jugs in the desert might prevent some of these kinds of death. (And I know this photo is old...but I’m sure he practice is the same for some Border Patrol agents.

FLOTUS realDonaldTrump under your watch! Disgusting! ResignTrump NOW!!!

Congress should call ICE Director Ronald Vitiello, El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Aaron A. Hull, CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and get answers.

Just figuring this out now?

Too little, too late, fascists. Just as Nazi prison guards are still hunted to this day, justice will be coming to everyone complicit in the state-sponsored murder of children. Everyone with a role in the Trump regime is responsible.

It was predictable therefore it was preventable

When we pay for medical checkups for all our own children then okay, otherwise be checked before you get here.

Better late than never I guess. It should’ve been happening already.

contagions aren't marginal. america's home made pandemic could be in the works.

Put them on Obamacare they can keep their Drs, the costs will be affordable.

This wouldn’t happen if there was funding to provide border security, more officers, zero illegal border crossing, more equipment etc. remember this is the fault of congress! For refusal do anything for the last 10 years about immigration. This death is on congress

AlaviewBurns A bit late for the poor kids who have already died though isn't it? A bit like closing the gate after the horse has bolted. Hopefully it will save other children but as others have said why wasn't this thought of beforehand?

It is weird that these kids travel 1000s of miles on foot in the worst conditions, but end up dying in the custody of the shining city.

US needs to enact immediate deportation. If there are rules that say keep these people in borer patrol custody, then u have accepted responsibility for their health,shelter, food and water, that simple.send them back home or let em in

ReignOfApril Or...and hear me out...you could not incarcerate children in cages. Work smarter not harder.

President Trump should be charged with crimes against humanity. If he is found guilty, the United States should turn him over so he can be imprisoned.

The fault doesn’t lie on our government. We aren’t the ones sending children to walk across countries, especially without proper care and nutrition. There would be no faux outrage had the mother gotten an abortion at our border.

ReignOfApril Is this horror going to end? Will these children ever be returned to their parents? Will they be able to recover from the traumas inflicted on them? Is this what America has become? Speak up for the children, please!!!

The USA Government is controlled by the infirmed of the mind and if the USA public doesn't fix it......

Stay at home.

Are They getting CocaCola or Pepsi delivered? Both would be great.

Time to protect them from our troops. You are responsible, it’s time to bring back firing squads Trumptrash

Probably due to an invasion of illegals

RevJJackson Now they want to blame the us govt for these sick kids these illegal coyotes are smuggling in. Fake liberal news

More tax payer money...

Free health care to non US citizens? Wow.

How come these parents that are killing these children are not being held accountable like American parents would be held accountable hold the Mexican illegal alien parents accountable for their children's death

But apparently there is no money!!!!

Gee...we better figure out how many kids we're killing before it makes us look bad.

More than what many homeless US kids get!

Why are these criminals our responsibility? They are trying to invade our country illegally so not our problem. Keep them out! America & Americans first!

The thousands of child deaths previous to Trump went unreported, check you facts

I want pictures and names of all minors to be placed on a website for the public to monitor.

So bring your sick kid to the border for medical care. Ok!

35 kids died in DSS custody in Massachusetts last year and I do not see headlines like this about them.

If the children were with their parents it is much more likely a parent would have noticed that there was a problem with their child. 2 kids might still be here today. endchildseparation

EdwardHeil1 You know who would be the best caregiver's for these children? Their parents. Give these children back to their parents for fucksake you are cruel and inhumane.

So more handouts because of parents poor choices?

El Paso Sector covers the entire state of New Mexico and the two westernmost counties in Texas, Hudspeth and El Paso. Congress should call El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Aaron A. Hull, CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan and DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and get answers.

If dozens of neglected sick kids make it across the boarder why do they become the responsibility or our Boarder Patrol? They are doing their best, it is not fair to blame them for these unfortunate deaths. Their parents should be blamed.

And who’s paying for that? Let me get my child in that line so he can get a free check up.

Really? It took the deaths of two children for you to figure out you need help providing medical care? Guessing none of your border patrol agents went to medical school.

Trump hurts people its just what he does. Sooner or later it will be your or my turn.

We have kids dying daily in this country that are Americans but neglect, abuse, lack of food but I don’t see there names blasted out every 10 minutes by MSM. The evil is this country is the media... I hope Trump keeps bashing them

jackmjenkins Third. Two children and a baby. And probably more.

Outrageous! This is unconscionable that basic medical care is an afterthought. They’re desperate families looking for help. I’m ill. Just ill that this is who we are.

My tax dollars at work. Given to people who have paid the wall

2 dead kids later Crimes against humanity

How come I don’t get free health care?

Stop holding them in prison camps.

And more sick will come help. USA Navy has only 3 antiquated Hospital Ships.

It took 2 children to die before figured out they should provide medical care? Idiots

I can’t believe it took them 2 deaths to come to this conclusion.

Yap, to provide free healthcare for all illegals coming into the country. What else do we need to provide them with? Any loss of life specially on a child is awful, this happened millions if times all over the world, and there are many reasons why, for sure not our fault

The super power is in need of help of other countries. They don’t have the funds for those immigrants or they are not ready to spend the money on them?

So that means they haven't been doing medical checks all along?

Selective outrage. People wait until there’s someone’s in office they don’t like to be up in arms about a situation that’s been going on for previous administrations before this. Unreal.

Kristjen Nielsen should resign

Too late for at least two precious young lives that we know of.

Don’t come here illegally

Translation: American taxpayers get to pay for the healthcare of illegals....while our insurance premiums are $1,600/mo or higher. Oh and don’t forget the $10k deductible. We live in a clown world folks.

We can't fund a wall or border security,but we can fund aid for these illegals? What's wrong with you people, the United States is NOT responsible for the welfare for everyone on earth!

Dylanesque2604 Stop providing benefits USA citizens have to provide for themselves. You r just encouraging the invaders to bring more sickness. My x brought whooping cough home to my 2 month old from a foreign country. 14 days intensive care when healthcare was affordable to middle class

BuildTheWall

Dylanesque2604 If we had a wall these people wouldn't be marching across thousands of miles just to live off of our backs of the working class! in America legal immigration Works illegal immigration doesn't

Too LATE /. Resist PresidentLoco

Why are these children dying?

How about checking them before they come into the USA. Stop jumping to USA kills children headline. Some are coming in with illnesses and diseases. MEDIA & DEMS attacking again to score political points — you care nothing about the children.

Wellness checks for all Americans?

At least he received the best care to make him comfortable in his final moments. Something needs to be done by the international community to stop Guatemala from putting these children in these life-threatening circumstances.

It's not are fault His father took his son on this treacherous gerney. Exposing him to extreme weather conditions and disease.

Invasive surveillance symptoms for your tax money

how about reporting on the possible health crisis they may have among the Caravans. CDC needs to get involved unless you want more people to die. Why have only children died? Have we got the autopsy of the little girl yet?

Right because irresponsible parents dragged their children thousands of miles across desert jungle and otherwise malnutritioned lack of water dehydration resulting in internal organs shut down among other things.

So can we deport them immediately if they are bringing in strains of diseases not already here?

‘Bout time.

Help these children by telling parents to not trek them miles upon miles. You can come to America without risking children’s lives by applying legally.

They're already using our health care system?

Even more expense now?

Inexcusable.

Sounds like the immigrants are bringing sick kids here. Is it fair to the residents of the US to be subject to these illnesses any more than they already are rwal2222 realDonaldTrump

She died dehydrated and hungry because of the father who took her to the desert without food and without water. When the border patrol found her, she had 3 days without eating or drinking water. Unfortunately, the girl died because of her father's irresponsibility.

It should have been medically evaluating every child entering custody AbolishICE

Now these poor emigrants need healthcare! It’s ironic and sad that Trump’s 0 tolerance policy has been so costly while hurting emigrants & taxpayers.. Children in these camps have died! This is one of the worst fiascos of the Trump admin and for what? A total disastrous failure!

Jesus was a refugee

Why would they not do that automatically?

These agencies will soon be collapsing. It’s time those in Washington grew up, stopped this “wall” nonsense, and passed comprehensive border security

Medical checkups are the first things done for children coming in to foster care by state child services agencies. Trump, Miller or Nielsen might have checked with them before taking responsibility for so many children. My guess, they just didn't care.

Send them back. Not our problem!

These tragedies must end. We need to build an unpenetratable wall so that the evil border control never handles another child ever again!

RT : A second child's death prompts U.S. Customs and Border Protection to order ...

When will this trump nightmare be over?

We need to set up medical tent on the border to get these kids checked immediately and then put them on the bus to start picking fruit it is rotting on the vine as we speak

So in a way you could say that Trump is providing FREE health care for illegal aliens..Trump cultists are like

A little girl died in the custody of Border Patol when the government was open because they don’t care about these children. But if they need the government open to start taking care of the children now, say do in your story. Make it clear. Children are dying. It’s a crime.

Parents Fault for dragging their young children 100's of miles without adequate rest,food or water. DespicableParents Sadly their ignorance & abuses of their kids causing this heartbreaking problem. STOP Blaming others. Parents to blame-Period. Sepsis more than likely. Sad -smh

How about the parents or whomever they’re with not drag them thousands of miles through poor conditions. Perhaps following proper protocol when entering the country would have prevented this.

Shocked? Why? When we woke up the morn after DonnieDumbass was elected, the nation was in mourning. We cried. We knew. HOW THE FUCK DID THEY NOT KNOW? If cancer had a twit name, it would be realDonaldTrump!

Sounds expensive

here is where TrumpSupporters will AGAIN make more millions from taxpayers money . they will offer these services and support TraitorTrump . neither realDonaldTrump not his supporters have a soul , yet hide behind religion and Christianity , such Hypocrites

Hang on. The first died after a few hours in custody after they tried to re hydrate her. It was the fathers fault for making her cross a desert for days with no water, not yet authorities fault. That was twisted so badly.

So now they will be sending sick children for free medical check ups?

I guess Doctors for Less didn't work out.

America? The Trump administration is making you look incompetent. What the hell happened?! Putting people into custody in a Tented Prison Camp created a liability & a duty of care. We are all mighty surprised to learn that didn’t occur to you until today?

Here’s an idea and stay with me here.....maybe stop locking kids in cages?

Medical checks before entering US

We need to start charging the parents with murder, using children to garner sympathy for bogus asylum claims must stop. When other criminals commit crimes and someone dies because of it we charge accomplices with murder, this should be no different.

Thanks for the confirmation that realDonaldTrump didn't include healthcare or even basic life-sustaining efforts in his plan to abduct Mexican children and traffick them around the US.

Hunh. Care about the health of the children we've snatched from people who came to the country of 'freedom' seeking a better life for their kids Who'da thunk it? Bet your ass you won't see a GoFundMe for healthcare for these kids.

Thank You, Jesus 🙏🏾 Maintain the pressure - Top down.

This is more than these children's parents have ever done for them.

There’s children being abused & maybe sexual abuses too!

So now non-citizens will have greater health care than citizens...good job ! 🙄

Patrici20765403 Literally the absolute least they could do 😒

This should have been done from the start. Secty Nielsen is liable and should be held accountable.

Annnnd out come the maga braindead to argue these children had it coming, there's no limit to what they will support to keep from admitting they made a terrible mistake voting for that fraud

How many children died under Obama?

Why not have the parents provide it?

on Facebook there's a 'police' page where the GoFundMe page already has a whopping '$16,000,000.00+' in investment for the PresidentTrumpWall.. can you please tell us more info about this? 🙏💚🤘✌

Trump/Miller/ Nielsen do not think of these children/refugees as people, as fellow human beings - deserving of care & respect Its a stain on this nation - violations of basic human rights I hope Trump & his administration are held accountable

So now we need to erect hospitals on the border, awaiting neglected children who are in critical health

as the 5 billion withers away. Thanks SchumerShutdown

3rd actually at least the second that is reported in the tv media, the first that was reported was a few months ago

Fool us twice...

But how many deaths were there before these? I would never put my children in danger. Mexico is dangerous but the ratio and risk don’t match up. Keep your kids safe. Do it legally. realDonaldTrump

I truly am sorry for these children, but the parents should have thought about how hard it would be on them. Not only that, they are subjecting them to all sorts off illnesses. Look at the diseases that were discovered in the caravan. We simply can’t allow that in unchecked!

I thought the whole point of the frenetic efforts to stop border crossing was to prevent illegal immigrants from getting taxpayer funded health care. Guess that laugh’s on SecNielsen

Why aren't they doing this, in the first place Give medical attention to ALL, who you're pimpin' for funds. You want them alive...RIGHT Then, vaccinate (if you must), and determine their medical needs, and/or situation. My God! You make schools do it! Why not govt agencies

Good news

The LEAST they could do. I have a feeling there’s more to learn about the treatment of children in these facilities that will start to come out soon.

Children are the leaders of tomorrow please treat them with heart. Your children is everyone's child

This should have happened BEFORE the first death.

They had MONTHS to prepare. We sent 10,000 troops. No one considered health and human services should provide wellness checks for people traveling by foot thousands of miles with nothing but the clothes on their backs

Was first child in contact with 2nd? Has CDCgov been in contact with DHSgov ? An unknown polio style disease has already been introduced to children in nearly all 50 states causing deaths is it related to influx of unscreened illegals? DeathByDemocrat SenSchumer NancyPelosi

Would not be attempting this if their was a wall

Really? 2 kids had to die before they figured that out? I'm so ashamed of this nation it makes me weep and I wish that was figurative. I've done all in my power. This tide will turn, but how many kids have to die before it does? The answer should have been 0. This is on us.

It only took two children's deaths to realize they need help.

Maybe this is something it should have thought of? 🤔

Awesome! Cross the border illegally and you get free healthcare! Just another incentive.

“No really.... It was my fault, my policy and I built that.”

Keep in mind every other nation has public health care, while we maintain a private one. Notice how its America though, where children get the proper care.

Maybe these kids should just stay home.

Very sick children coming across the border.

Great send Mexico the bill

This is so sad. Please look after these children. Wherever they are from, children should not be the ones to suffer.
