“It’s like I have been saying over and over again, a wall can prevent these types of heartbreaking stories, once people know they can’t get in. They’re not going to come.”
Fox News Host Sean Hannity claimed that if there were a border wall in place, it could have prevented the death of a 7-year-old immigrant girl.
During Fox News’ Hannity on Thursday night, the host discussed The Washington Post article published on Thursday about a 7-year-old girl from Guatemala who died while crossing the border from Mexico into the U. S.
U. S. Customs and Border Protection told the publication that the girl and her father were brought into custody on December 6 with a group of 163 other people who turned themselves in to U. S. border patrol agents just south of Lordsburg, New Mexico. Eight hours after their arrest, the child began to have seizures and had a temperature of 105.7 degrees, according to CBP records obtained by The Washington Post .
The child “reportedly had not eaten or consumed water for several days,” records obtained by the publication stated.
