Unbelievable Report Reveals Border Patrol’s Failure to Provide Proper Medical Care to Migrants

The recent report released by an independent panel reveals the harrowing reality of the lack of proper medical care given to migrants in US custody. The tragic death of an 8-year-old Guatemalan child due to influenza, sepsis, and starvation highlights the incompetence of US Customs and Border Patrol’s (CBP) medical staff.

On the one hand, migrant rights advocates are outraged that the CBP staff failed to review the medical records of the child before his death and relied on a Border Patrol agent to call for medical help instead of conducting their own assessment. This negligence in providing proper medical care highlights the need for more transparency and accountability in US immigration policy.

In any event, some argue that the CBP is understaffed, struggling to manage an influx of child migrants, and sending medical personnel to remote areas along the border. However, even if there is a lack of resources, it does not excuse the neglect of the welfare of those in their custody.

This tragic incident calls for a more humane approach to the treatment of migrants and refugees. It is the government’s responsibility to provide adequate medical care to those in their custody, regardless of their immigration status or age. The CBP must be held accountable for their actions and take immediate steps to improve their medical services.

Final thought, the case of the 8-year-old Guatemalan child’s death while in CBP custody is a devastating reminder of the dire need for proper medical care at the US-Mexico border. The CBP’s failure to provide adequate medical care and its negligence in reviewing medical records cannot be accepted. It is time for immediate action and change in US immigration policy, ensuring the protection of all individuals, especially children, in their custody.
