Teen Mom And Prematurely Born Baby Neglected At Border Patrol Facility For 7 Days

What were her options in Mexico, specifically?

While I get what you are saying, it still makes no sense to me that she and the baby didn't stay in the hospital until they were both healthy enough to be released. Their poor health is on Mexico, not us. She didn't need to come to America to seek asylum, she could have gotten that in Mexico.

She may have a sponsor here in the US. Many asylum seekers, especially family units, do.

Even if she had a sponsor here, she really couldn't wait a week or two to come here? Poor decision on her part.

Sadly, some people do feel that way. They hide these feelings behind blaming the parents of these children for what’s happening to them. Because, you know, if they were living in terrible conditions, in a place of poverty and violence they would just not try to seek a better life for them or their kids. They would just suck it up, I’m sure.

Go home, you worthless pieces of shit!! We don't want you here!!!

/s

The way I imagine some ^

What are her options in America? Why are they any different? Shouldn't she be just as safe in Mexico as she is here? Or is Mexico really a bad country too?

It is inhumane what is happening to people there.


And of course there's the people picking and choosing which babies to care about.

Clearly this mother didn't care

So she left Mexico with her premature baby after a cesarean section. Meaning she AND the baby WERE in a hospital at one point several weeks ago and then she made the trek here with her newborn. And CBP is responsible how?

Once CBP places a person in a processing/detention center, they are responsible for that person's care. This mother and her baby were not given adequate care. They were not given care at all. That is on CBP.

Actually, yes, parts of Mexico are plagued with a lot of problems similar to those migrant refugees are hoping to escape.

I don’t know what her options are in the US or why this was her destination. Which is why I’m not out here saying what she should have done differently. But you are, so I assume you know something I don’t. You say she should have stayed in Mexico “for a week or two.” Walk me through that, would you?

I agree...that should be the real issue here.

I disagree. I think our issue as a country is the care and treatment we give asylum seekers once they enter the US not the care and treatment prior to their arrival.

It is incredibly difficult to seek asylum in Mexico. They have very strict immigration laws.

Walk you through that...what the hell does that even mean? She most likely gave birth in a hospital to a premature baby. Unless they kicked her out, she should have stayed until both herself and the baby were healthy.

Kinda of ironic isn't it?

What makes you think they didn’t?
