    @HLMenckenFan

    That’s a murder charge if the parents did it so it should be the same for Abbott.

          In a perfect world no child would ever die, but in our world children die sometimes. Medical problems do not discriminate.

            If only there were some sort of way to ensure children don’t have any serious medical problems before you lie to them to illegally transport them over state lines…

              We have no information to say that they were lied to or that the transport method is illegal.

                Except for, you know, how that’s how they keep doing it.

                But I’m sure they were honest this time.

        Completely agree with you. It’s probably involuntary manslaughter due to gross negligence.

          Or just happenstance. People have medical issues sometimes, it’s unlikely that there’s any criminality involved in my opinion.

            Depends on the criminality of government entities coercing migrant families into cross-state bus rides to be dropped off on the street…Unfortunately, you seem to be right.
