Obama said illegal alien parents put their children’s ‘lives at risk’

When a seven-year-old girl died of dehydration and shock while in U.S. Customs and Border Protection custody after being brought here illegally by her father, Democrats and the liberal MSM immediately began blaming her death on President Trump’s border and immigration policies.

The fact that the little girl hadn’t consumed food or water for several days and endured who knows what other physical and emotional trauma over the grueling and dangerous two-thousand-mile journey from her home in Guatemala didn’t seem to affect the narrative of Democrats and the MSM that President Trump is somehow responsible for her tragic death.

What’s also missing from the Democrat and MSM narrative is any mention of Obama’s border and immigration policies – especially his personal feelings regarding children and illegal immigration.

A story on NBCNews.com on July 02, 2014 titled “Feds to Wage Ad Campaign to Stem Dangerous Treks to U.S. Border shows that President Obama’s immigration policy included advertising designed to scare people who might consider traveling to America’s southern border.

The story claimed that “U.S. officials struggling to deal with a crush of children and undocumented immigrants [sic] arriving on the Texas-Mexico border are waging a war of words to keep more from coming. … [T]he federal government is trying to counter with a Spanish-language campaign essentially designed to frighten those considering the journey.”
