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

Why would a 17 yr old pregnant child make such a trip? Was she hoping the baby would be born here? Why didn't she stay in Mexico after she delivered early? Wouldn't that have been the safest and smartest thing to do?

Maybe, maybe not. We don't know why she was making that journey. A lot of people flee because of violence.

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

Why were the mother and baby released from the hospital in mexico in the first place?

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.

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.

My guess is that the shelters are overrun and understaffed. CPS is indeed state run so it might not have jurisdiction over a federal facility. We're simply not prepared to handle what we're getting.

I agree that the processing centers are overrun and understaffed but this is a problem that the US has seen coming for over a year. Can you imagine what a difference it would have made if Trump had spent the time and money on processing centers and staff rather than on his wall?

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

Exactly
