Put blame where it belongs

Thu., Dec. 20, 2018

When are the true culprits of these border tragedies going to take responsibility for their actions? I’m so tired of hearing about how horribly treated the illegal immigrants are at the hands of border agents. This child died as a result of the parents’ decision to attempt an arduous and dangerous trip without enough food and water.

Maybe we should build a resort of some kind so the flood of migrants will have a nice relaxing place to stay while they recover. I can see it now, the father will retain a crooked lawyer to sue the INS for neglect and failure to provide proper care. Are the agents required to be physicians now?

This ridiculous finger-pointing needs to stop and the border crossers held accountable.
