​Beto O'Rourke Goes BERSERK, Claims Trump Is 'Responsible For Deaths' Of Illegal Aliens

​     2020 Democrat presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke took to Twitter on Tuesday to blame President Donald Trump for the deaths of a migrant father and daughter.

     "Trump is responsible for these deaths," O'Rourke wrote.

As his administration refuses to follow our laws -- preventing refugees from presenting themselves for asylum at our ports of entry -- they cause families to cross between ports, ensuring greater suffering & death. At the expense of our humanity, not to the benefit of our safety.

     "As Trump's administration refuses to follow our laws — preventing refugees from presenting themselves for asylum at our ports of entry — they causer families to cross between ports, ensuring greater suffering & death. At the expense of our humanity, not to the benefit of our safety," he added.

The Associated Press reports:

     "The man and his 23-month-old daughter lay face down in shallow water along the bank of the Rio Grande, his black shirt hiked up to his chest with the girl tucked inside. Her arm was draped around his neck suggesting she clung to him in her final moments.

      The searing photograph of the sad discovery of their bodies on Monday, captured by journalist Julia Le Duc and published by Mexican newspaper La Jornada, highlights the perils faced by mostly Central American migrants fleeing violence and poverty and hoping for asylum in the United States.

     According to Le Duc’s reporting for La Jornada, Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez, frustrated because the family from El Salvador was unable to present themselves to U.S. authorities and request asylum, swam across the river on Sunday with his daughter, Valeria.

     He set her on the U.S. bank of the river and started back for his wife, Tania Vanessa Ávalos, but seeing him move away the girl threw herself into the waters. Martínez returned and was able to grab Valeria, but the current swept them both away."
