Trump blames Democrats and their 'pathetic immigration policies' for deaths of migrant children at border
US President Donald Trump launched a fresh attack on Democrats on Saturday, December 29, saying they encourage migrants to make the hazardous trek North due to "their pathetic immigration policies", which he held responsible for the death of children and others at the Southern border.
"Any deaths of children or others at the Border are strictly the fault of the Democrats and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter our country illegally. They can’t. If we had a Wall, they wouldn’t even try!" he tweeted.

...children in question were very sick before they were given over to Border Patrol. The father of the young girl said it was not their fault, he hadn’t given her water in days. Border Patrol needs the Wall and it will all end. They are working so hard & getting so little credit!
