An 8-year-old Guatemalan boy died in Customs and Border Protection custody in New Mexico very early Tuesday morning after being transferred to the hospital earlier Monday.
The boy’s father was with him in the hospital where he was diagnosed with a cold. Doctors gave the boy amoxicillin and medication to bring his fever down then released him.
Later that night, the boy returned to the Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center with nausea and vomiting where he passed away, reported the Associated Press.
The tragic story made several headlines in the mainstream media.
Of course, liberals blamed the US.
What is happening at our southern border?! This makes the second death of a young child at our border in as many weeks. This is outrageous! This shocks the conscience.https://t.co/38VLtmtVFz

A second child has died in US Custom and Border Patrol custody. We need Congressional hearings for all involved, Including Nielsen and Miller!
Note that last week Nielsen refused to answer how many children have died in DHS custody. https://t.co/km3VOaqQnt

What did not make any headlines on Christmas Day is the care given to illegal aliens after they enter the US. The United States spends hundreds of billions each year caring for illegal aliens.
In the last two weeks the US Border Patrol have:
** Arrested a MS-13 gang leader
** An agent was assaulted by an illegal alien
** An agent rendered life-saving first aid
** And agents rescued a man from drowning
