A 7-year-old girl who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border with her father last week died after being taken into the custody of the U.S. Border Patrol, federal immigration authorities confirmed Thursday. The Washington Post reports the girl died of dehydration and shock more than eight hours after she was arrested by agents near Lordsburg, New Mexico. The girl was from Guatemala and was traveling with a group of 163 people who approached agents to turn themselves in on Dec. 6. It's unknown what happened to the girl during the eight hours before she started having seizures and was flown to an El Paso hospital. In a statement, Customs and Border Protection said the girl had not eaten or consumed water in several days... Processing 163 immigrants in one night could have posed challenges for the agency, whose detention facilities are meant to be temporary and don't usually fit that many people.

And don’t cross dry arid lands without water. This seems more like child abuse.
Taxpaying American citizens would be prosecuted if a child’s death was a result of them recklessly leaving them in an overheated car...
Why do invading illegal aliens (and would be leeches on taxpayers) get away with recklessly leading children on such a perilous journeys through a vast scorched waterless wasteland?
Send a message to other would be invading illegals who risk the lives of children to use them as get-out-of-jail cards:
The father should be prosecuted for felony child abuse & reckless manslaughter and then be deported as a convicted felon.
So she was with 163 people including her father and no one was taking care of her. Bet it’s not even really her father.

Indeed, this sounds more like human trafficking. What a shame, I’m truly saddened by this.
Yeah, but you know the left will play it out that the CBP held her without food and water for nearly a month or some such BS.
Charge the father with child abuse!
Reckless irresponsibility of the parents.
DON’T BREAK INTO OTHER COUNTRIES!
I feel sad for the family for the loss HOWEVER, the parents gambled that young girls life by not providing food/water along that journey. With all the illness those people are carrying, I suspect more than malnutrition and lack of water took it’s toll. With the lack of attention for the child, is it possible the girl didn’t even belong to the parents? DID I not read recently that more than 300 invaders died along their route through Mexico? Unfortunately, that one did IN America. I do NOT blame the Border Patrol for her passing.
The most likely scenario is also the grimmest.
I can tell you an EASY way to never have to mess with Boarder Patrol holding cells.
Mexico also bears some responsibility in having “hosted” this stupid “caravan” to begin with.
Parental child abuse. No big deal where they came from.
Isn’t it a shame that Trump made that father walk his child in the desert with no water for days?
In some countries they just shoot you when you illegaly cross the boarder. It sounds like the parent of this girl should be charge with child abuse and manslaughter.

Not only that but now they will likely sue, and perhaps win against the US for millions of dollars
I just read where the US airlifted her to the hospital. That had to cost us a bunch. Where do these people think they’re going and how will they live after get to where they’re going? They don’t even have enough sense to provide themselves with water.
The girl’s parents did not give her food of water for 3 days and abandoned her. The BP found her and took her to a hospital, but she was too far gone and died. She was in BP custody for only a few hours,
