US Authorities Blame Parents For Migrant Kids' Deaths

All the detained migrant children under the custody of the United States Border Patrol, will go through more rigorous medical check-ups. This measure came after two Guatemalan children died while under U.S. custody a few days apart. Rather than recognizing the way U.S. border authorities treat immigrants who have the right under international law to seek asylum, Secretary of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen, shifted the burden onto the immigrant parents who “bring their children on a dangerous and illegal journey” adding that these parents do not face consequences for their actions.
