Fake news. Here is the true story behind the hysterics, outrage and hyperbole of the liberal media and their audience.
"A little girl who became the public face of US migrant family separations was not taken away from her mother at the US border, says her father.
A photograph of the Honduran toddler sobbing in a pink jacket was snapped at the scene of a border detention.
Time magazine has used the image for its latest cover, depicting President Donald Trump looming over the girl with the caption: "Welcome to America"."

Question: Why don't these Latin American countries improve their own countries so their citizens won't feel the need to flee?

It's not the location. It's the fact the little girl was NOT removed from parental care.
Many are and it was wrong. But if you are going to have a poster child I would suggest using a real one. Or it delegitimatizes the issue and provides further fodder for cries of fake news.
And if you noticed, Trump was photoshopped in as well.
Who cares, its a magazine cover that depicts the impacts of Trump.
Deal with it and stop whining, you back that crap, own it.
It's not just one magazine cover. It's the primary photo used by EVERY media outlet.
Hey it was just a lie....get over it sounds very Trump like to me.......
I didn't back it. I said it was wrong from the get go.
Immigrant teen describes conditions in Phoenix ICE detention center
By Avery Anapol - 06/22/18 03:58 PM EDT
A 16-year-old immigrant recounted his experience in a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility, offering details of crowded, windowless rooms, limited access to a single toilet and small children "crying all the time."
Edmilson Aguilar Punay, a Guatemalan teenager who crossed the U.S.–Mexico border illegally last month, spent weeks in a Phoenix detainment center before being allowed to travel to Cincinnati, where his mother and siblings live.
Edmilson described being held with about 30 young men and boys in an "office sized" cell to the Cincinnati Enquirer, saying through an interpreter that he was packed into the windowless room for two days.
The cell, he said, had a single toilet.
"The smell was very bad. It wasn't even separated by a wall," Edmilson said. "They said we had air conditioning, [but] it was very hot in the room."
He said the cell was so crowded that he could not lie down at times. Edmilson said he can still remember the sounds of young children — some as young as 5 — crying and screaming for their parents, from whom they had been separated.
"You could just hear cellphones ringing and children crying," he said. "Where there were small children, you could hear them crying all the time."
Edmilson told the Enquirer that an immigration officer told a young crying boy his mother would "come later." But another boy in the cell said the younger boy's mother had already been deported to Guatemala.
Edmilson told the Enquirer that he did not know whether it was night or day, and that the detainees were fed “sugary fruit juice and undercooked pre-packaged containers of chicken soup.”
After two days and two nights in the crowded cell, he was transferred to a Phoenix detention center, where he was given fresh clothes and allowed to shower.
Edmilson said he was treated better by guards there and that the facility was more like “a school.”
He was then transferred again to New York, where he spent another three weeks in a detention center about 25 miles from New York City before being flown to Cincinnati.
Edmilson's account of his time in ICE custody follows weeks of outcry over the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy, which has resulted in thousands of migrant children being separated from their parents.
On Wednesday, after a week of intense backlash over the policy, President Trump signed an executive order to halt the separation of families, but the administration has not yet said how they plan to reunite families that have already been separated.
Trump has said the administration will keep in place its zero tolerance policy, though families apprehended for illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border will be detained together.

Maybe use a photo of this kid taken in one of the Kiddie Jails he stayed in would make for more verisimilitude?

Time covers are always posed, composed, retouched and chosen for the point they make. No one but total media naïfs imagines they're anything but editorial illustrations for the copy inside.
In no way does the magazine cover say or even imply that cover shows a child taken from its parents; if anyone thinks so,that thought is entirely their creation. And why that was their first thought, is the entire point of the statement the picture makes about the Time we are living through.
You can't argue your thoughts away by blaming Time, guys. You clearly know what's wrong in that picture, otherwise you'd be taking the President welcoming a kid at face value, and saying, "Aw, How sweet".
Chris Christie - (still sucking Trump's dick for cookie money) - says Kiddie Koncentration Kamp was all Sessions fault and Trump was blameless.

Christie: Trump ‘enormously ill-served’ by DOJ on ‘zero tolerance’ policy
By Brett Samuels - 06/24/18 12:04 PM EDT
Chris Christie on Sunday faulted the Department of Justice for the Trump administration's handling of its "zero tolerance" policy and the subsequent separation of migrant families that prompted overwhelming backlash.
"I think one of the things that hasn’t been talked about this week, George (Stephanopoulos), is the president was enormously ill served by the Department of Justice," Christie said on ABC's "This Week."
"If the attorney general come in and says to the president, 'I want you to do a zero tolerance policy, but let me just tell you, we don’t have enough judges to handle the cases, we don’t have enough prosecutors to bring the cases, and we don’t have enough detention facilities to legally detain the people that we’re going to show zero tolerance to,' the president would have never approved this," Christie continued.
Christie's criticism of Attorney General Jeff Sessions comes days after Trump signed an executive order halting the practice of family separation. He did so after saying for days that only Congress could address the issue.
The Trump administration has faced overwhelming backlash to the family separation policy, which is a direct result of the administration's “zero tolerance” initiative. Democrats and Republicans alike have called family separation “cruel” and “inhumane.”
Sessions announced the zero tolerance initiative in April, saying the DOJ would criminally prosecute those who cross the border illegally. As a result, children would be separated from parents who were taken into custody.
Sessions has since justified the policy by invoking the Bible, and by arguing it acts as a deterrent to further illegal immigration.
