Dem rep: 'Evidence is clear' that migrant child deaths are 'intentional'

[Haggis for Breakfast]

8. I can see a case for calling it "intentional neglect"

as we have seen pictures of the disgusting conditions in which these children are housed. We know from Congressional reports (Thank you, Senator Jeff Merkley, D-OR), that these children are malnourished as the quality of food they receive is substandard to the point of being spoiled (or infested) and that alone would diminish their immune system's response to illness. We know further, that these children are not sleeping at night. Sleep deprivation can also impact the immune system. Add to that the daily stress of what these children are enduring and you have another hit on the body's defenses.

These conditions have been well-documented to the point that the WH cannot say they are unaware of the neglect of these children. And they have done NOTHING to correct or even ameliorate the situations.

So, YES. I, too, would call it intentional.
