The photograph of a Honduran toddler, sobbing as she stares up at her mother, became a symbol of outrage this week at the Trump administration’s practice of separating children and parents detained for illegally crossing the border.

But the child’s father, reached by phone in Honduras on Friday, told The New York Times that the mother and daughter were in fact never separated after being stopped at the border, and that they remain detained together in a family residential center in Texas.

In a front-page caption published June 14 with a similar photo from a series by John Moore of Getty Images, The Times said only that the girl was crying while her mother was searched. The family’s status and whereabouts could not be determined.

She may turn out to be a great poster child after all - for how fraudulent claims of asylum are abused, and how children are cynically used as props to make mockery of of our laws.

F these invaders! This has been exposed as a false narrative, and what happens to your children is your own responsibility!

Still no corrections from CNN on all their fake news stories about this, including this one:

"The mother had to set down her daughter to be body-searched, to be frisked, before she was loaded into a van and taken away."

Such is the state of urinalism in today's media.

In contrast ALL the angel families at Trump's press conference suffered permanent loss of a family member due to a criminal illegal alien.

Yes, astounding that the Slimes reported this.

But, keep in mind they did not not report that she in fact paid coyotes - human smugglers - to be brought in to the US with her daughter.

They did not explore the reason she would bring one child of three with her - i.e. as her get out of jail free card, her form of green card by default.

Well, I guess it’s up to Americans to clean up Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, and the rest of Central America. Let us annex your countries as states. There will be roads, water wells, schools, factories. It won’t be the shithole it has been since whenever. America will straighten it out.

That leg about 8 inches away from the child belongs to her mother. So, I guess you could claim she is separated from her mother. I wonder if the child was "torn" or "ripped" from her mother's arms?

We know well by now that facts and the truth don’t matter to democrats. What matters is runaway emotion and appearances.

Never let the truth get in the way of an attack on the President. TIME gets the Joseph Goebbles award for journalism, with CNN and NYT receivning honorable mentions.

It’s quaint that you think the truth matters.
