Not Trump's fault or Border Patrol. Who brought them along on the migrant caravan?!

Border patrol didn't kill these kids, neither did Trump. The person who brought them in this migrant caravan did. No guilt felt here, place it where it belongs.

The children would not die at the border if their parents didn't drag them, sick or well, across two countries to get them to our border to steal welfare the United States! If the United States was willing to pay welfare in the country they came from they would never leave!

The world knows that Donald lies. Old news.

Listen up broke folks! We don’t got money for all wall. We can’t even afford healthcare wtf makes you think we can afford to build a giant useless wall. Rest In Peace to those poor children dying in US custody Because we have a useless leader.

Terrible parents

Compared to most children from normal caring American families I would say he’s right. Child from poverty after a forced thousand mile march is in dire condition. Build a quality wall, reform immigration law & invoke adequate funding like Israel, problem goes away! Dems own it!

The AP twists facts all day every day. LibTurdRag

Thanks for the fact check.

Look at your examples of the President !! Your idea of truth does not exist

The public does not know how far the media has slanted and twisted the real story in order to blame President Trump's govt. for what happened. It is clear.

You twist facts on a regular basis so you have no room to criticize anyone.

He LIES LIES too !

400000+ foster kiddos in the welfare of government in this country. What about them.

I blame the parents for the deaths of their children. Its not our fault that those illegal invaders decided to bring their children with them on a very treacherous journey, in order to invade our Country.

The children’s parents should be charged with child endangerment, child cruelty and child abuse. Just as any American citizen would be by children’s services.

if I dragged my child across the country and she died, I'd be up on charges. But Trump...

Lies! The word is lies!

The abusive and irresponsible parents of that child want to blame the US for the bad consequences that resulted from their bad actions.

Don’t you care about the homeless children in America?

Chuck Schumer in 2009: Illegal Immigration is wrong, plain and simple via YouTube

This tragedy falls on the parents for using their children as pawns to enter the US.

Actually your article can’t stand up to reason. Flu, the cause of first death, has incubation period of 24 hours up to a week. The second death occurred within hours of being detained. There was clearly something deadly wrong as the family criminally crossed the border.

What happened to you AP? Done following.

BOTH children's parents would be guilty of a FELONY in the U.S. Reckless Endangerment in the 1st.

How many times you going to post the same exact story AP? We get it orange man bad he essentially strangled these children with his bare hands etc

Democrats let them in. Blood is on TheDemocrats hands for encouraging lawlessness.

Don’t come and don’t bring your children is the response.

Lying is Donald's first language

So why aren’t you focusing on their parents? And their home country?

It’s there parents who took them from there home , we all want better ,you can’t steal it you’ve got to earn it wreckless Parents to blame

Thank you for your reporting. realDonaldTrump and SecNielsen Monsters!

Thise same parents in the US wouldbe charged with CHILD ENDANGERMENT!its the parents faults!

TRUMP IS CORRECt , but you all will not report that the parents did not want help with them being sick.. the girl was not given water or food during the trip to the usa . how about telling truth we all know what happend was not BORDER PATROL

Fakenews media is the enemy of the people...realDonaldTrump FAKENewsMedia

The children were killed by their parents who dragged them on this terrible journey. All fault lies not on Democrats, but the parents.

Twisting the facts and lying doesn’t change the fact that sepsis and the flu resulted in the deaths. The press had no problems running with the first death being a result of dehydration

I long for the day when all the nationalists actually send out the vans to collect all the globalists so they can give them all free helicopter rides

Hey, how about reporting on some real news?

Law enforcement officer dies at hands of illegal immigrant who is here because he’s protected by sanctuary law and not one Democrat has responded. That’s the real story!

My very simple question is.....Did no migrant children die of disease they carried across the border under Obama’s 8 years? The media are using politics to sell the sheep what is and isn’t a scandal. Another example is the border wall. The dishonest media is the enemy of the USA

Several news places were all saying that he said it wasn't their fault. Read that all over the news for a couple of days

Did you mention the father that denied help for his son? I bet not...

It’s unacceptable that we don’t have professionals that give a damn Bout human life. I’m disgusted. tRump cried over white kids being killed but Hispanic ... he’s a racist just like Adolph Hitler.

How many died in custody when Obama was president?

Ap is twisting facts

Nothing ever on the 17 that died on Obama’s watch....or his cages

Is this because you’ve already analysed and reported on why the kids died?

No bias in this headline at all 🙄

It is Trumps concentration camp. Trump built it, Trump filled it, Trump owns it. End of story.

... President didn't invite the children

trump needs to RESIGN like Yesterday

Thinking the parents fault, they should never had been brought illegally danger

His administration has the blood of innocent children on its hands!

Really! Dragging a kid across a county, with God knows what food they had, sleeping in the open and arriving at the boarder-really it’s Trumps fault.

LIES! That’s the word y’all are all too chickenshit to use. Donald J. Trump LIES!!! Try it put. It’s liberating.

Tragic when it happened under Obama at a higher rate and no mention of it in your reporting.

Well it’s just evidence that healthcare in America is absolutely in shambles.and not up to date any other country would of saved that kid even the worst parts of the world would of helped out. I say this cause most people and countries work together expecially for sick children

Shame on their parents for forcing these poor children on a journey that ultimately killed them! Charge the parents with murder!

Build the wall so they do not have an incentive to come with one young child. Fix the immigration laws so they can apply instead of sneaking in and then we have to support them

Parents doing

Fact check, children are not physically equiped to walk 1,000 miles. It's called child abuse in this country. Something they know little about from where they came from.

TrumpKillsChildrenAndLiesAboutIt TrumpShutdown TrumpResignNOW

Why don’t they just not come in then we don’t have this issue. Problem solved.

Using death of children for political points - fakenews are the worst scavengers, and you are one of the leaders in that swamp. Your shitty outlet has no future, nor dignity.

Maybe you could just get back to reporting the news instead of twisting it to fit your obvious bias! I remember when AP used to be a trustworthy news source.

… DUE CONSEQUENCE. Condign Punishment. Hell To Pay. 🌩️👇

Denounced ' parents' that would starve and deprive their child of water while marching them across a dangerous desert, and praised our border agents for doing what they could to save these neglected children

You, AP, are more twisted than Trump. logic seems out the window with the press these days.

fact check don't bring kids here illegally

🖕🏿

Those two migrant children died because of diseased invaders and the Democrats preventing THE WALL. If the Wall was in place they never would have massed into a caravan (a number of them spreading disease) to enter the USA illegally.

LolitaChabot Let me fix that. Two neglected childrend who were forced to cross U.S. BORDER ILLEGALLY died of infection, trauma sustained during the journey. Parents were not charged for some dumb effin reason.

Did you expect anything different?

A police officer was MURDERED by a illegal gang member

The Flu.

We already KNOW realDonaldTrump response to these children's deaths! What about GOP response to these needless deaths and their refusal to support immigration reform?

No he did not.

Dude children die in our inner cities everyday, when AP going to run stories about that? Always the Trump bashing, isn’t people tired of this shit yet?

The parents of these innocent children sacrificed their lives in an attempt to gain illegal entry into our country. Any parent that would march a child hundreds, perhaps THOUSANDS of miles to commit an illegal act should be tried for murder. What were they thinking?

The border is Trump's responsibility. He is President now.

Why don’t you at least look at the adults who bring children illegally to the border and into this dire situation?

Parents should be in jail for child abuse. This is no ones fault other than their parents.

The wall will stop this cold.

Their parents are to blame. They should've left them home. BuildTheWall

Once again President is right liberals allowing these sick children into our country.If liberals cared so much then why do you never hear about Over 100 homeless children that die every year from starvation related deaths

Those sick kids were brought up from Central America with hope from their parents of getting across the border and get free medical help!We can’t take care of our own,don’t know where they got the idea that they could just walk across and get on the system,Charity starts at home

Enemy of the United States.

Wrong!!! Corrupt BullCrappola!!!

The *Parents* are responsible for the death of these children - No one else - Only - The Parents - The Parents dragging their children 100's of miles in treacherous conditions to invade another country are Guilty of Child Endangerment. BuildTheWall

The parents are to blame no matter how much the leftists want to spin it.

Activist Press.

We really are smarter than this. Enough already...

Ffs orangemanbad

Oh, FFS... Stop strawmaning us

So the parents that endangers them on that trip are not the responsible party? The Border Patrol and Trump killed them? I now hate media and DenocRAts

“The record so far as is known neither establishes that U.S. officials were to blame nor clears them of blame, despite Trump’s pronouncement” Then AP is also twisting the facts by accusing Trump of twisting the facts as there appears to be no facts known-per your reporting!

It’s their own parents fault sadly.

Ridiculous take by . Lack of water/food for little girl, Dad refused treatment so HE wouldnt be deported. Boys mom admitted she sent him w/father to GET IN USA EASILY. Dad, again, like the other, said child not sick. It was the HOSPITAL DR. that released him. Parents losers

Glad you do fact checking. Make sure every time a cop gets killed by an illegal alien you do the same fair fact checking for that story as well. 🇺🇸

The parents and only the parents are responsible for the deaths of these children.

What a pathetic headline. Don’t bring your kids here illegally. Moving on.

And American Pravda twists facts with everything they write.

Reality Factcheck - blames realDonaldTrump for a parent dragging their child 100's of miles without sufficient food and water. Even the parent doesn't see Trump is at fault , but is still pushing a narrative instead of using journalistic standards

Pot, meet kettle

Left wing propaganda.

The Guatemalans would have died no matter what Trump did. The parents are responsible and should be arrested for child abuse, imprisoned then deported.

Not our problem, AP, despite your best effort to make it so. You wastes of life in the media are more responsible than anyone else for encouraging them to come. Why don't you mindless f**ks go suck on a tailpipe to make amends.

Same response as Nancy about the killing in CA? News, let’s report about all these other Politicians say about everyone, not just one sided.

IllegitimatePresident is a heartless evil being. No real man would utter such cruelty. But his day of full disgrace is at hand

Now do 0bama.

NoOneCares

We know what he response was. STOP giving free publicity to the incompetent in-chief buffoon just for the 'ratings'. Unless you have become another FOX's outlet

Police officer killed by illegal immigrant, don’t care.

If we had a border they'd still be alive in Mexico. Democrats are the party of dead children.

The simple truth is he doesn't care

Maybe they should have stayed home!

Were they vaccinated?

Doesn’t matter. They were brought through horrible conditions leaving their homes. Parental abuse neglect caused this. All though they may have actually seen a true doctor for the 1st time trying to save them

They are not migrants, they are illegal aliens whose parents dragged them across the desert

President trumpy crimes against humanity.

Interesting! Trump twists the facts and the AP doesn’t? What a bunch of damn hypocrites!

How many times are you going to post this story? Must not be getting enough traction.

Dems created this problem

What a monstrous headline. Even more monstrous is the heartless response from our so called leader.

Parents shouldn't bring children on such a dangerous journey.

Just think they would be alive had their parents obeyed law

It's the Democrats and their Anti-US policies that is causing this mess to begin with! So, Yes The Democrats are to blame!!

What do these poor children have in common? They both were dragged by their parents through an awful perilous trip to nowhere.

MAGA.

Just unfollowed you.

Another Democrat Party shill article brought to you by the AP. What's new.

The fact check in this story gives a different story than previous stories about the events from mainstream news sources, including the AP, which reveal a murkier view of the events without references why those stories were discounted., hmmmm.

A real leader might have said, 'Their deaths are terrible. Let's work together across the government and with our international partners to keep it from happening again.' CrazyTalk

Fact checking Donald Trump should be easy, but judging by the quality of your work lately, you’ll probably screw it up and make him look honest.

This story is getting a bit long in the tooth.

Oooooh. AP hates the Trumps, we does! Hates him, my precious! *gollum!*

We failed his family

ap and fact check in same story. Talk about two things that do not go together

His response is irrelevant. Your headline, however, is propaganda.

These are brown children, so realDonaldTrump views them simply as political pawns and not real people. TrumpResign

Did he respond to the 172 American children who died over the past 2 years of the flu

With all the respect and sadness for this children is the parents that are putting the children thru this dehydration, starvations then they blame American people and ask for millions then we pay them why , we work hard for those money

Nice opinion piece

The so-called parents should be charged with their deaths

Simple concept

You really should put this story up against Obama and the media's reaction to the 7 that died during the Obama presidency. Its valid.

Trump’s fault the parents took them thousands of miles. Weird

If people weren't dragging their kids through deserts and trying to illegally enter another country, the kids would be alive.

CORRECTION: Two migrant children, who sick prior to ILLEGALLY entering the US,....

It's not his fault
