So what do you think @Jhhnn? Are you also of the belief that illegals (or maybe like Noah, Mexicans in particular) are to be preferred because blacks are lazy workers or do you think it's only white folks who are lazy? I mean the astronomical rates of unemployment among urban black youth is actually pretty good evidence that city dwelling progressives believe that to be true.

Peddling fake news to further spread lies is really pathetic. Yet that's what people are doing on the left. From celebrities, to even Senate members. Some pictures being circulated are not from children being taken from their families. One even from Mosul, Iraq from years ago being pushed as happening here currently. Facts matter, unless you're just trying to stir discourse and divide Americans. Not the first time that Time magazine has lied on a cover, hands up was also a blatant lie. Posting first, fact checking later is not how news is supposed to work.

I'm sure I'll get slammed for pointing these erroneous stories out, instead of people being upset that lies are being pushed. Keeps the attention off of real stories going around. Like Obama's cyber chief given the stand down order in 2016 against Russian cyber attacks. You'd think that would be news worthy, but goes against all what the left stands for.

Carry that water, the work should be its own satisfaction since Trumpy won't give you any.

WAIT WHAT? Are you telling me that Trump looking down on that child on a red background never really happened IN REAL LIFE?.. I think you are missing the subtle point TIME is making here besides the fact that this IS going on... point being, that child is not a real refugee just like Trump is not a real president.. You know and no matter what kind of crying child in front of him he would give two shits.. Wouldnt give one shit if it was yours.
If fake gifs is your only counter to this horrific ordeal you should probably just have stayed quiet.

You realize that officials and the press have not been allowed in to the facilities, right? The only photos they have are taken with a telephoto lens, provided by DHS/HHS, or crowdsourced (from people either claiming to work in the facilities or claiming to have had contact with the children through courts, transport or public health system.)

Not sure where the crying girl photo came from, but I'm sure it can be sourced back to the photographer.

They are presenting something of a false narrative. As far as I know, no mainstream news organization claimed that the girl and her mother were separated. I do believe that I saw several stories where it was reported that they didn't know if the two would be separated but that's about it. What's being tossed around by the deplorables is nothing but the usual propaganda attacks

This caption is how I've seen the specific incident reported:

"A two-year-old Honduran asylum seeker cries as her mother is searched and detained near the U.S.-Mexico border on June 12, 2018 in McAllen, Texas."

Does that include the kids whose parents have already been deported?

Hey, they never qualified that statement AFAIK. We will hold them accountable for failing, yet again, if they don't have it done by Sunday.


edit: Nevermind, that only includes kids that have been held for 72 hours, not the backlog of kids that have been held for weeks or months.

So it's basically a propaganda statement on their part. It figures.

Here is what Time says about its original story (before June 19) about the little girl:

Correction (Posted June 19): The original version of this story misstated what happened to the girl in the photo after she was taken from the scene. The girl was not carried away screaming by U.S. Border Patrol agents; her mother picked her up and the two were taken away together.

Look like they remove a bunch of stuff from the story now.

Incidentally in other practices the detained children are now apparently being forced to say the pledge of allegiance each day before we get around to apparently deporting them in most cases...

a converted Walmart where each morning, they are required to stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance, in English, to the country that holds them apart from their parents.

Why must they say those words, some of the children ask at the shelter in Brownsville, on the Mexican border in Texas?

“We tell them, ‘It’s out of respect,’ ” said one employee of the facility, known as Casa Padre, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of losing their job.

None of you will answer me, but I'll keep asking: What do boots taste like?

Time did not tell the whole story and was caught red hand with its lies. Very simple to understand.

Quick, deflect the issue. Keep trolling pathetic troll. The truth hurts, eh? :D

Look like the propaganda was created from liberal sources.

Next!!!

Yikes. You seem to have a lot of feelings invested here. Why do immigrants bother you so?
