Which would all provide a reasonable set of excuses for border control if they weren't interacting with a child known to have crossed a desert and presented as 'not having eaten or drunk in days' (which is CBP's own report, not from "some guy interviewed by press").
It's been many, many years since I attended a first aid course, but one thing I do remember is that you go to the non-responsive ones first. Logically you'd then move on to the most potentially vulnerable ones, a) she's a child and b) she would have been in a heck of a state. No-one competent would let a person who haven't eaten or drunk in days and has just crossed a desert just "sleep it off" without checking on them sufficiently. She should have been right up the list, and that must have been a terribly long list of worse medical emergencies to take 8 hours to get through to only bother seeking competent medical attention, it sounds like they should have called the nearest hospital for backup!
If the facility didn't have either the staff or the equipment to confidently deal with her case, then surely they ought to just refer it straight to the nearest hospital.
Personally I think what the CBP chose to report is rather telling. Hopefully more information will be released, but I rather doubt it.
