Throughout the entire mainstream media manufactured crisis of illegal immigrant children separated from their mothers at the border there has been a constant search for that one photo of a crying child who would be the face of the media’s feigned outrage.
TIME Magazine thought they had found that photo, when they published their latest issue and included a photo of a crying Hispanic child looking at President Trump with the caption “Welcome to America”.
It turns out, however, the crying 2-year-old was never separated from her mother, as the girl’s father revealed yesterday that “they’re together and safe”. In fact the girl’s father, Denis Javier Varela Hernandez, said his daughter and her mother are together in U.S. custody at “at a family residential center in Texas.”
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Hernandez, who lives in Puerto Cortes, Honduras, says that he was told on Wednesday by a Honduran official in the US that his wife and child are being detained at a family residential center in Texas but are together and are doing 'fine.'Denis said his wife and daughter were never separated by border control agents and remain together.'You can imagine how I felt when I saw that photo of my daughter. It broke my heart. It's difficult as a father to see that, but I know now that they are not in danger. They are safer now than when they were making that journey to the border,' he said.
The original image of the crying child came from a photograph taken in McAllen, Texas, when her mother was being searched by Border Control agents.
The child’s mother was apprehended due to the fact she was previously deported from the US in 2013.
A spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has told DailyMail.com that Sandra had been previously been deported from the US in 2013.The child’s father, Hernandez, asks a valid question: “Why would she want to put our little girl through that,” in reference to the mother’s decision to take their daughter on a dangerous journey to smuggle themselves into the US illegally. Hernandez is currently living in his home country of Honduras, where he works as a captain at a port on the coast of Puerto Cortes.The spokeswoman said that she was 'encountered by immigration officials in Hebbronville, Texas' in and sent back to Honduras 15 days later under 'expedited removal.'
Sandra current immigration proceedings are 'ongoing' and she is being housed at a family detention center in Texas.
Denis said that his wife had previously mentioned her wish to go to the United States for a 'better future' but did not tell him nor any of their family members that she was planning to make the trek.
'I didn't support it. I asked her, why? Why would she want to put our little girl through that? But it was her decision at the end of the day.'
Hernandez against his wife’s decision to take their daughter on a dangerous journey to illegally smuggle themselves into the United States, stating that he never even got a chance to say goodbye.
He said that Sandra set out on the 1,800-mile journey with the baby girl on June 3, at 6am, and he has not heard from her since.The mainstream media and Democrats have yet to issue statement condemning the mother’s actions to separate a child from her father without even saying goodbye, which is odd considering their stated objective was to “keep families together” with their latest round of incendiary reporting.'I never got the chance to say goodbye to my daughter and now all I can do is wait', he said, adding that he hopes they are either granted political asylum or are sent back home.
'I don't have any resentment for my wife, but I do think it was irresponsible of her to take the baby with her in her arms because we don't know what could happen.'
The couple has three other children, son Wesly, 14, and daughters Cindy, 11, and Brianna, six.
'The kids see what's happening. They're a little worried but I don't try to bring it up that much. They know their mother and sister are safe now.'
Denis said that he believes the journey across the border is only worth it to some degree, and admits that it's not something he would ever consider.
He said he heard from friends that his wife paid $6,000 for a coyote - a term for someone who smuggles people across the border.
Despite the fact that the vast majority of illegal immigrant parents are never separated from their children, and there are many cases of gang members using abducted children to pose as their own to get released into the country faster, the mainstream media continues to use false narratives, false photos and exaggerated feigned outrage to incite anger towards President Trump.
Even The Washington Post was forced to admit that TIME made a “major mistake” on their crying girl cover.
Unfortunately, they made their most iconic image something that wasn't a family being separated — and ultimately undermines their cause.However, that didn’t stop people from fundraising off of the photo of the crying girl, collecting over $18 million to “help reunite families who have been separated”. Really, $18 million for the approximately 2,500 children who are separated from their parents at the border for security reasons, many of which who already have open access to lawyers and legal help for free? How much of that money is really going to fund lawyers and how much is going into people’s pockets who never let a crisis go to waste in order to further enrich themselves.The photo of a nearly 2-year-old Honduran girl crying as her mother is being patted down quickly went viral. It has also been used for a Facebook fundraiser to raise more than $18 million to help reunite families who have been separated. And the whole thing culminated in its placement in a photo illustration on the cover of Time magazine. The image features the girl against a red background, with President Trump towering over her and the words “Welcome to America.”
The implication was clear: This was a girl who, like 2,500 other children, was being separated from her mother. Time and many others made a decision to suggest that this was an example of Trump uprooting our American ideals.
But that's not what it was. As The Washington Post's Samantha Schmidt and Kristine Phillips report, the girl's father says the child and her mother were never separated. U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed it, as did the Honduran deputy foreign minister.
This single picture, along with the photo of the Hispanic child in a cage that was proven to be fake and only used for a pro-amnesty protest, presents a perfect example of what is called “media propaganda”.
The mainstream media a pseudo-event, a planned catalyst to manufacture yet another round of hit piece headlines to not only damage Donald Trump, but to distract from the real headlines surrounding Trump’s success in North Korea and the Inspector’s General Report showing clear political bias within the FBI (despite the fact the report claimed otherwise). The media specifically chose this story because nothing tugs on the heartstrings of Americans more than pictures of “suffering” children, as a similar strategy has resulted in millions of dollars being raised for starving children in Africa.
Perhaps a more accurate cover for TIME would have been the following:
Or perhaps this one:
However, due to President Trump disarming the media’s feigned outrage by signing an executive order keeping illegal immigrant children detained with their parents, the left’s strategy of “getting Trump” has rapidly faded, just like their past attempts using Stormy Daniels, Manafort, Cohen, Russian collusion and any number of other manufactured anti-Trump stories.
That’s no small amount of money, especially in “poor” countries.
Ever think some organizations funded by globalist interests are having a large hand in herding these illegal immigrants into America for their own purposes, so billionaire companies can make even more money off cheap labor, more consumers, food stamps the immigrants will spend at stores and government contracts for food/medical/entertainment provided to immigrant detention centers?
Whenever you witness a global “crisis” or event like this, you can bet that some powerful people are making millions off it. The rich get richer off of human suffering, always, throughout history.
She left behind a “husband”, and three other children. She’s such a good mother, right? NOT
This makes NO SENSE. She was likely picked out to be the poster case for this round of MSM and liberals’ fake news.
The husband also said that the wife went to get a better job - but she is claiming asylum to get in.
I saw another report that this is not the first time that the wife illegally entered the USA. She may have gone back for the child, just to exploit the child and asylum loopholes, to get a green card.
She may be a great poster child after all.
This abusive mother has been deported before. She took the cute little girl with her in her new pink outfit as her ticket into the Land of Uncle Sap. It was 11:00 PM when the Border Patrol found them and the little girl was thirsty and tired.
The mother left her three older children with their father, and didn’t tell anyone she was leaving, apparently. How about that for trauma? As for the $6000 to the human traffickers, this is a middle class family. She did not come from destitute circumstances.
Why could the Daily Mail find out all these important facts, while our lying media conjures up this Fake Victim story?
Something hinky going on here. My Spidey sense thinks this was a set up WITH the husband, photog and even that during rag TIME. Hmmmm….
This isn’t 1968 anymore. A dramatic photo on the cover of Time could sway millions of opinions in an instant. And it wasn’t until years later that the truth of the photo would come out. (The “civilian” executed on the street in Saigon was the leader of a death squad that had killed entire families of SVN officials.)
Yes...it is Time!
Deported in 2013. Child is 2. Math???
Remember when they were criticized for doctoring the OJ cover photo?
bkmk
Liars frauds cheats propagandists.
Truth doesnt matter to a leftits and they lie as easily as they breath
America will be better off without them.
BOYCOTT
El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala are relatively small countries, but huge increases occurred in them bringing kids, during the Obama Administration. Clearly the word has gotten around about US policies - they cover it routinely in the newspapers down there.
It is obvious fraud, and it is rampant.
If you are a parent-married or single-living in any state in the USA, just try deciding you want to “get a better life” in Canada, packing up yourself and your 2 year old child and sneaking away at 6AM, abandoning your spouse and other children-especially when he/she told you this was all a stupid idea-and you’d already gotten busted for illegal entry to Canada and deported before-there is an absolute 100% chance that when you got caught by their border patrol, your kid would be turned over to Canada’s child protective services while you were placed under arrest, your spouse would be contacted and your child returned to his custody, for a start.
He would file for divorce, and full custody of all the kids-and likely get it. So you end up in jail with no money, no kids, no spouse and no home because you are a criminal and an unfit parent...
Also-these people are not destitute-he is a boat captain, and the woman was able to get $6K to pay a coyote-I’d have a good deal of difficulty raising $6K, and I’m self-employed and make US wages-I hope the husband does divorce that bitch and take the kids-she is both an unfit parent and a special kind of stupid...
The DOJ should seize the funds and use them to pay for the housing and medical care of the smallpox, infectious disease and the disabled coming across, and the care for the children dumped in the middle of desert roads by their 'uncles'.
