HEARTBREAKING: Guatemalan Mother Testifies Before Congress About Her Baby's Death While in Border Patrol Custody

This is so sad -- this woman brought her baby here, seeking a better life for her -- but instead, she is dead.

The detention of immigrants MUST STOP. We must allow them safe passage into the US!

NO MORE dead children!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez broke down in tears Wednesday as an asylum seeker mother gave a harrowing account of her one-year-old daughter's death after being detained in US custody.

Guatemalan Yazmin Juárez told a House panel that she came to the United States seeking safety, but instead watched her infant daughter die slowly and painfully after the baby received shoddy medical care while they were in immigration custody.

As the emotional mother spoke Democrat Ocasio-Cortez wiped away tears and an image of her brown-eyed baby girl, Mariee, was put up on television screens in the hearing room.

The baby had fallen ill with a high fever, vomiting and diarrhea when mother and daughter were detained in a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dilley, Texas, last year.

'It's like they tore out a piece of my heart,' Juárez said.

'I wanted to have a better life for her and a better future so that she could keep growing, but now we won't be able to do that and she is gone.'

Mothers fault, not mine or my nations border protection.

It is sad. It’s horribly sad.

But she chose to come in to this country via illegal entry. That was a very sad choice. We have legal immigration procedures for a reason, and this is one of them.

What else is sad is that the liberals that are encouraging this behavior, not because they care, but because they want votes.

Remember the incubator babies that inflamed the first Iraq war. Same deal. BS. Dead babies always seem to gain political favor. BS.

That's what the left is suggesting. America would be over in a matter of months.

Hitler invaded to give the poles a better life..

so we should just add to her heartbreak ?

add insult to injury ?

wow ... just ... wow

If I leave my kid in an air conditioned car for 4 minutes while I go into a gas station to buy a gallon of milk, I am charged with a crime, put in jail, and my kids are taken away.

This woman drags an infant through 1500 miles of danger, gets it killed, and she's some sort of hero now deserving of sympathy?

The woman is suing the state of AZ for $20 million, and the feds for $60 million ...

she's gonna be rich -- when she should be on her way back
