The searing photograph of the sad discovery on Monday, captured by journalist Julia Le Duc and published by Mexican newspaper La Jornada, highlights the perils of the latest migration crisis involving mostly Central Americans fleeing violence and poverty and hoping for asylum in the United States. “Very regrettable that this would happen,” Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Tuesday in response to a question about the photograph. “We have always denounced that as there is more rejection in the United States, there are people who lose their lives in the desert or crossing” the river.
Their bodies were discovered Monday morning on the bank of the river near Matamoros, Mexico, across from Brownsville, Texas, and several hundred yards from where they had tried to cross, just a half-mile from an international bridge. The United States has also been expanding its program under which asylum seekers wait in Mexico while their claims are processed in U.S. courts, a wait that could last many months or even years.
Send that pic to both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Not that it would do much good!
Very sad. Maybe if Biden would not have basically inviting immigrants to the border these two would still be alive. Border was great until he became president.
Joe. Biden.
He wanted a short cut but got the short end of the stick instead, its sad he had to drag his kid with him.
30 years ago my father decided to migrate to the United States. He has 3 kids and wanted a better life for his family. Me and my brothers are still alive, you know why? He followed the law and migrated here legally. Moral of the story is, dont break the law!
nicoledarrah Blame of Democratic Party The party of crime
There you go people. She said it. They left for economic reasons. Quit saying they are asylum seekers.
Late term abortion. ? Sad that the dems caused this by promoting illegal immigration
Hoe does T- shirt that man is wearing, include the child too? Looks photoshopped.
The mother said they were coming for economic reasons.......they were not asylum seekers....they were just trying to beak into the US. This is horrible...if Democrats did not offer free stuff they would stay home.
People should not take their children into dangerous situations, especially when it's just not necessary. This father should have waited his turn. He got impatient and it cost him and his daughter their lives. So sad.
I wonder. Are more people harmed or killed entering into hostile countries. Are we killing more as they die trying to sneak into this country. Would we save more lives if we just mined the border.
Finally days later we find out the truth about this. A man brought the two year old daughter over first then abandoned her while returning to get his wife. The scared child tried to follow. The man attempted to save the baby. Tragic stupid on their part. Not the President’s fault
mayaalleruzzo Good point🧡
He needs some milk..
What about the bodies under the Mediterranean Waters? Rio Grande is nothing compared to the former. May their souls find the comfort that eluded their bodies in this troubled world of ours! That all may be one...a sad spectacle to behold!
jaketapper Many famous people have migrated or sought asylum in another country. humanrights righttoseekasylum seekingasylumislegal DoE
Why do these people risk their children's lives like that, turn around don't drown.
robininrichmond This is fake. Shame on you for promoting it.
So he left his 23 month old daughter on the bank of a river ALONE and she jumped in the water. If I left my baby at the side of a pool alone and she drowned would it be my bad decision or someone else's fault? This is very sad and tragic but parents are responsible for children.
Seems like many people haven't read the constitution. Just to remind everyone, Seeking Asylum is 100% LEGAL! What happened to this family is utterly devastating and we should do all we can to prevent this from happening again
Blaming this on anyone is absolutely disgusting. Democrats across the country are trying to blame President Trump for an accidental death. This is what is causing division in this country
I‘m so thankful to live in Germany. May I cite the first two articles of our constitution? „The human dignity shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all state authority. [...] Every person shall have the right to life and physical integrity.“
Pure stupidity. It's a disgrace our media will not describe this of what it really is. Pure stupidity, I know no decent parent that would risk his daughters life. He is a murderer. That poor little girl died over the poor stupid parenting.
My heart isn’t broken, it’s shattered.
This is just so tragic . A symbol of desperation
The dems have said for over a year that the crisis at the border is manufactured? Which is it?
710KURV Why do they keep coming
How about some reciprocity by showing an aborted fetus? One is no less shocking than the other, as a child is dead regardless of the method.
Disgusting that his country is so bad he had to try to go to another. When are we going to hold countries like El Salvador responsible to clean up their act?!!
They say a picture is worth a 1000 words. But there aren’t enough words to describe the love, sacrifice, hope, despair, crushed dreams, agony, cruelty, and, you name it, captured in this image. I hope our nation’s leaders do not turn yet another blind eye. America must do better.
Reading these comments just reinforces my belief that the educational system failed us 30 years ago. Heartless Blind sheep.
💔💔
Stop the illegals
These children will never be able to see a new life in America, the one that their parents have promised them. They will never be able to go see the new movie that just came out. They will never be able to open presents during the holidays with their family. Extremely disgusting.
Trump announces it’s a fake photo of a cartel drug dealer carrying a doll full of cocaine! WHY NOT? The truth will never be told by our lying President and his GOP BORDER PATROL minions.
TrumpsAmerica
By no means am ignorant to the disasters occurring in and by the USA .... but to post a picture of the deceased is highly inappropriate and shame on anyone whom reposts it. There are other ways. This is NOT it.
These are the consequences of trying to swim across a dangerous river to get to the United States. This isnt6the U.S. or Mexicos fault. It's the parents fault. Very sad outcome.
Heartbreaking
I can't deal with this world 💔
Underscores the likelihood that things like this happen when they make the process take so long the people wait for weeks, and finally try to cross. Trump could fix this, he wants migrants to suffer!
We should be in the streets over this and all the other outrages (as they are in Hong Kong over China's hegemony), yet complacency reigns in Amurka. Late Roman Empire behavior abounds.
Reckless foolish father responsible for own death and daughter's. Not American people. Picture being used as propaganda for open borders. Blaming lack of wide open borders for these deaths is alienating to those who want reasonable border policy.
I cannot see any anti-abortion fanatics demonstrating and screaming about the deaths of children at Mexican border, in American detention centres or at Mediterranean Sea. So their lives are not as valuable as a tiny fetus that does not even know it is alive?
Divider FamilySeparationPolicy ...breaking our hearts 💔 and minds. Return to USA🇺🇸 RuleAndOrder, AsylumLaw🗽 and a fair and compassionate ChiefLawEnforcementOfficer.
Democrats are to blame for encouraging these people. Stop with the horrific pictures.
'Migration crisis'... like birds flying south or something. People are risking their lives because they know the border is open. . Politicians dont care until the influx threatens the balance of power . A.P. starting to sound like Associated Propaganda.
This is heartbreaking. We have always been compassionate and should continue to be, but can’t take in entire world, process must be orderly/legal. Press Congress to allocate much needed humanitarian aid to border and to fix laws that created this nightmare. Why are they waiting?
BREAKING: anonomous sources say man and daughter were drowned by coyotes for not paying border crossing fee
jaketapper 😢😢😢
No one should blame POTUS for the death of that man & child. Illegal immigration is a major issue. The problem begins at home. Why are people so desperate to leave their home countries? Corruption, violence, bad economy. America can't help & fix the world. No illegal immigration
Reading some of these responses one has to ask...
Parent killed his child!
JoeNBC I blame those with a pathological hatred of Trump.
Did the photographer find them 1st? Or did the photographer get in the way of the of the rescue team? Hmmm.. it's kind of a weird situation..
Man. They should stop trying to come here......The US should stop fucking up latin american countries....people should stop buying drugs that come from mexican and central american Cartels. Pot should be legal. We are a nation of immigrants.Historically nation of imigrant haters.
Again, the media using pictures to sway ignorant Americans to persuade or lawmakers to send aid to these the House passed $4.5 billion in medical aid to aliens and yet our own people are suffering.
Trump, where is your love of those oppressed? You and your GOP in the senate have put U.S. progress to equality back many decades. Maybe someone should not have allowed your family to migrate to our country!! You're the worst this country has and may the man above forgive you.
When realDonaldTrump said there was a crisis on the border, the Democrats said, “manufactured crisis” & the media supported their claim! Now the media puts out the pictures resulting from that crisis, but still the Democrats do nothing, & the media doesn’t ask them why!
Yes, it's been happening for years. You didn't seem to highlight it when Obama was president. You didn't seem to gaf, then. Why is that?
Sad photo but this has been going on for years while politicians turned their heads!
emg318 It's great he died. He was a criminal who murdered hours daughter.
May they Rest In Peace 😢💔
Imagine if they would have only come across LEGALLY
Rio Grande / Méditerranéenne Trump / Macron Peste / Choléra
jaketapper her little arm over her dad's shoulder...just trying for a better life.
This should NOT be who we are!!!! People we need to continue to speak out and PROTEST!!! This needs to be on everyone’s mind when they vote!!!
You mean the manufacturered crisis that the DNC and CNN have been spewing? Nothing to see here folks
'Hell is empty and all the devils are here ' One sits in the White House .
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Both would still be alive if a legal crossing was attempted. Nope, I'm out of give-a-shit.
Please.
That father chose poorly by putting his child in such peril. It’s a shame that child had to pay with its life it’s father’s greedy capricious choices
It could be photoshopped Anyway we have safe and secure ways of legal entry into the United States of America
What numerous people forget...border patrol has saved lives and provided shelter for those who attempt to cross into the US. Do they take it too far at times? Yes. Are they doing their job? Yes I cried at he anguish the baby and father endured. Sadly it was the ultimate price.
Read: not criminals, NOT rapists! This is all on the TrumpCrimeFamily are we MAGA now?!
There needs to be a bridge, dedicated to FREEDOM and PEACE, constructed over the Rio Grande i an attempt to create solidarity between Mexico and US. There can be border agents posted on either side with a legal pathway to give humanitarian assistance to anyone who wishes to cross
I do understand that parents sometimes feel the only way to survive or get out of a dangerous situation is to flee. I do not believe having border patrol walls or check points is cruel. Just as Mexico has the legal right to ask US Citizens for proper paperwork, so does the US. ..
sam_vinograd The US was founded and built by Immigrants from day one. Unfortunately, our prejudices towards others seems to be the controlling norm nowadays, rather than the exception. Apparently, we forget where, and from whom we came. Shame not on them but on us.who cannot rise above.
This is heart wrenching. To be so desperate in your own country, to struggle to get here, and knowing it's going to be very difficult under the Trump Administration, but knowing it's still better than where they live. I wish there was a better way. 😔
Immigration is no a human right
If you feel anything other than sadness empathy sympathy or compassion- you are a bad person . PERIOD!
Mexican officials need to let these ppl know not to make there way up here. The United States is taking they’re children away and losing them! This is so sickening just typing this knowing what my country has turned into😪
Show how wide and deep the river is.
This is the Democrats fault. When will the immagration system be changed so people can come here easily and legally so this doesn't happen again? ImpeachPelosi NotMySpeaker BorderCrisis
We are a “lost” nation.
Strangely, the Media seemed to completely ignore the at least four innocent Californians murdered by illegal immigrants, known to law enforcement, but shield by CA Democrats' Sanctuary State law. Meet victim Bambi Larson. CA Democrats fail us all.
Nope no crisis on the boarder! “It’s made up”said the media and their friends the democrats. This problem has been going on under several Presidents. The fact that Trump wants to fix the issue is what’s scaring all of the media. He will fix it and put the wall up to stop the crap
I can’t believe the callousness of those saying, in essence, they shouldn’t have tried for a better life.
Border wall = less immigration = less tragedies like this one.
Pretty disgusted posted this pic. Unfollowing.
STOP RUNNING THIS DAMN PHOTO! You would NEVER do this to a white body. STOP THIS.
It underscores the perils and the risks people are willing to take for a better life. People will continue to come and risk everything until the factors that lead them to leave their native countries are addressed.
JoeNBC on Morning_Joe If you want to know what wrong w/ evangelical leaders in the age of Trump, do nothing more than read JerryFalwellJr 's text (responding to drmoore ) & look at the picture of that young girl desperately clinging to her father in her final moments of life
There are some heartless people on here blaming everyone but their president who implemented the cruel policies that caused this.
MOST of those cute kids of parents who got in after 1986 Immigration reforms turned out to be gang members,when they grew. THEY refused to work hard ,like their parents.Their 85 IQ parents can not teach them work ethic. BY 2032 most California will be Mexico City or RIO.
What if we called it a “really really really late term abortion”? Will they care then?
I pray Heaven was more welcoming to them than some of the Christians in our country. 'And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’ Matthew 25:40
Regardless of how u feel abt immigration ppl forget that all human being have the right to ask for help. How you treat them at your door makes you who you are. So don’t bring up your Christian values to defend anything from trump to gays to women to BLM ever
Yet Dems use them as political pawns.
It’s his right realDonaldTrump Didn’t you watch GameOfThrones A man who can do no wrong enough for impeachment n her eyes SpeakerPelosi is SUDDENLY like a king-not som1 elected by & accountable to thePPL-but som1 who can take away your healthcare, jobs, & ANY othr safety net
If they had not tried to come here, they'd still be alive. Or, if they had seeked asylum in the first country they came to, they'd still be alive. This is not the fault of America.
They have names; Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez and his baby daughter Valeria .
Bad governance should be highly condemned by countries where migrants seek greener pastures. Migrants are escaping poverty tied to bad governance in their countries. We should also stop necessary wars which makes people to escape to other countries as refugees.
Ok. Now show the cartel murders of children.
'Turn around, don't drown.'
Jesus wept.
Welp that changes my mind. Since the media is showing a graphic image of a tragedy I suppose I now decide to have open borders! That is what you want, right? 😐
They don’t have to come. We did not invite them.
Americans have a legacy of doing this to brown skinned people. This could have been a pic from Vietnam, be just as heartbreaking, just as wrong
Don't bring a toddler to a home invasion
This image is heartbreaking...💔
If you read the article, they crossed out of frustration because they were Not able to present themselves to authorities for asylum. That’s vague and could mean a lot of things. Like they didn’t qualify and knew it. So they crossed illegally.
Trump has cut financial aid to these poor countries contributing to the mass exodus of the poor struggling families. THESE ARE NOT RAPISTS AND MURDERERS
BABYVALERIA will someone please establish a GOFUNDME for the mother and extended family of BABY VALERIA who drowned with her father
For Óscar and Valeria....”Sigue tranquilamente, ¡oh, caminante! / Todavía te queda muy distante/ ese país incógnito que sueñas … / ... Y soñar es un mal. Pasa y olvida, / pues si te empeñas en soñar, te empeñas / en aventar la llama de tu vida.” (Rubén Darío)
Heartbreaking. Can’t lie, I shed a couple tears seeing this photo thinking of my own kids and what could happen if we were ever in this position this man was in to seek asylum for a better life. We as humans can’t let things like this happen 😢
Take a good look Donald Trump. This is on you realDonaldTrump
EffBeeEyeIC TrumpsConcentrationCamps
rescuethechildren
Should there have been a huge ass wall in their way they could see from other bank, they wouldn’t have even tried. There, fixed it forever.
Not right!👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
It is not illegal to request asylum!!!but you actually have to be here in the USA to do that!! Help these poor people! They are dying!
Horrendous, just horrible. Idiot in chief just acts like it's not even there. ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW
President Trump declared the situation at the border a crisis in January. Save this fake heartbreak and exploitation.
What people risk to escape brutal conditions and instead of helping realDonaldTrump and GOP treat children as criminals if they make it! RioGrande TrumpsConcentrationCamps
For all you “Summer Camps” believers, we will only guess now as to the dreams and hopes this man had for his family. There are crimes being committed at the border, not by the asylum seekers. I pray those committing them will one day be held accountable.
It's not a migration crisis, it's an ILLEGAL INVASION. Let's stop sugar coating this BS. And for future reference, abortion, the murdering of infants, is NOT reproductive health care. Call it what it is or forever be known as enemyofthepeople fakenews
Did cover the monstrosity in 2017? As soon as Trump took office children started suffering!
Their lungs filled with the river’s water when all they wanted was to inhale the air of freedom. So sad.
So whats the solution to this? Just let everybody in without a asylum process? That doesn't seem smart or safe.
so when will you be honest about the failure of the democrats to 1 even recognize a crisis 2 to fund the needs of the border patrol to stem the crisis. Dems and the media in unison called it a manufactured crisis. Blame yourselves
way to enourage them. so if border patrol doesnt take them to safety their evil and if they do theyre evil
DONALD TRUMP closed legal points of entry, detained all legal asylum seekers, and kidnapped their children. He did this. His supporters did this. Now those same supporters will blame the father for this. Deplorable wasn’t strong enough, You trump fucks are pure evil
b0yle This tragedy would have been avoided if there was a wall. The President said this situation was an Emergency months ago and the Democrats fought him over it.
it's All on the dims, they do nothing to stop it and even encourage then to keep coming, we all know they are looking for voters at any cost
Maybe this needs to be moved to the Southern border
So sad. But I can remember reporters and Democrats screaming there was no crisis at the border. It was all mfg by this admin. And conservative news. Yet, Congress denies funding to help and to hire new judges to hear the 900k cases backlogged. 😒
If the borders were closed, they wouldn't be encouraged to make the dangerous trip.
I've seen a family phornof them on other sites. Theres no need to use this one. It is awful. Please humanize them show their family pic.
Where are the crime scene photos of all of the American citizens murdered by illegals?
Propaganda
If this was the body of a dead white baby, would you the media show the world?
I’m sorry, but I have to say this... to apply and ultimately gain US citizenship an immigrant must first be on US soil. The US is supposed to accept everyone. What the hell are y’all so scared of them for, because they damn sure aren’t responsible for the opioid crisis.
Then quit encouraging people to come here illegally. This is on your head liberals.
😢💔😢💔😢💔😠
All of you blaming the parents and shaming this father - let me guess you’re also pro-life correct?
Enough! We must have members of Congress ensuring that this sickening image is out there for *the world* to see and condemn as a humanitarian crisis created by the failed policies of this inept administration. This has to stop! GOPConcentrationCamps
Oh now it's a crisis...MSM spent 4 months laughing at trump calling it a crisis..
Oh so it's a crisis now
Like BarackObama said “dont send your kids here” 😘
How is it that thousands are crossing everyday but only these two drown?
Those were God’s children, too. Water got them — Fire, War, Pestilence, AI and Climate Change will get the rest of us.
Heaven forbid you call it a CRISIS right
Trump will blame the father,then Mexico,then the democrat 's or the London mayor & if all that fails blame Iran.
JoeNBC We can’t sit here blaming the migrants when we created the forces that drive them from their homes and block/throttle attempts to seek asylum legally. This image is seared into my brain. This isn’t who we should be. We should lift up the downtrodden. nationalism is a sickness.
Sad but natural selection isn’t compassionate.
No words. This is heartbreaking and we can be certain there will be much more suffering and more deaths with desperate people trying to cross the board.
Congress could fix this in 15 minutes, but they would rather have this happen, because they hate Trump more......
Pelosi said it’s a manufactured crisis.
Nothing to like about this.
america is a cold souless empty mess of a country. you will be destroyed from within. I pray for that day.
Why aren’t the liberals down there giving swim lessons
As a non-American I was absolutely shocked to see this on the national news of my country this morning. Showing this heartbreaking graphic scene is an extreme form of voyeurism and it utterly disgusts me how it's used in political fights on the flanks. You all suck!

I’m noticing that almost all of the hateful “they deserved it” style comments are made from accounts that have very few followers. I find it comforting to know that hate can’t get that many people to join it. LoveWins but only if it’s chosen.
🙏🌹🇺🇸‼️
Donald Trump has taken the whole United States down in the gutter. Donald Trump has no one to blame for the problem at the border,but himself,just look at the images.
DontLookAway
There are perils in making this trek, but the deranged Trump haters want to blame Trump for this unfortunate tragedy.
There is one person and one group of people responsible for the death of that little girl. The father and the people promoting the mass attack on the U S Southern border by illegal aliens.
Well, that's on them. Not us.
Must be Trump's fault.
Show all the dead/ injured from those that made it and escaped into the country. Show the pillaged towns around the border. Show the filth in the streets of those wrecked towns after the barrage of immigrants move through. I want to see those photo stories.Then get back to us.
When you are really in need...take contraceptiv measure....don t make babies...wait !!
pamcho3 We should be taking care of our own not the worlds...
This is so sad.
Darwin work . Totally parents fault. Least they could've done is armbands for the kid , and something inflatable for themselves. I feel really sorry for the kid, but it's the parents own stupidity .
I was told there was no crisis at the border...
My stomach drops, my chest tightens... Need to look, then look away, look back, feel helpless, angry... It must be nice to be a heartless motherfucker who can shrug and say, well that's what you get, and go about your life but some of us still have souls
Who would bring a one year old on that perilous journey?
Smith83K The question is asked.
This is what America has become.we would gladly go into a country and force regime change for the same atrocities the Nazi trump administration is committing! The GOP and realDonaldTrump are to blame for this disgusting treatment of children! HouseJudiciary
What can we do? What are tangible things besides voting that we can do to stop this madness? My heart is so broken this morning, I need to know what we as individuals can do to stop this.
I do not feel bad for them, they knew the risks and unfortunately for them it didn't end well.
b0yle In addition making crossing national borders be not illegal, and moving from one nation to another be not illegal, transporting people across borders needs to be not illegal. Moving from S. America to n America needs to work like moving from S. Dakota to N. Dakota.
manufactured crisis
realDonaldTrump Must be a bad hombre with a rented child.
Meaning no one should venture this journey. Do at your own risk. We Americans are not responsible. Period. Full Stop.
Ohh my God it's heart breaking shows the scale of desperation
This is because of the Idiots in charge of our country, we have become NK😡😡😡😡😡 WAKE UP AMERICA
We have so much more in common than not. We are all Americans. We must unite where we can and realize that this kind of division is the evil that will poison us all. No one wants death, chaos or lawlessness. Let’s work together to require our lawmakers to change the narrative.
Though the gratification of selectively crying solves the issue for the time being. Cannot wait for your next installment of drownies, maybe make it a periodical feature.
What are YOU doing about this CRISIS?!?! NOTHING!! What are YOU doing to change the narrative that says illegal immigration works BEST? NOTHING! YOUR FINGER POINTING & BLAME DOES NOT MAKE YOU A WORTHY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE!
The peril people put themselves into. Stop this emoporn journalism.
Build the wall. Stop the incentive to come here now!!!!
The perils of bad parenting you mean. Or the blessings of natural selection. Don't have kids when you are a destitute, dumb poorfag. Don't swim across a river with your toddler daughter. Don't migrate.
Question? As an American citizen how could one help? I'm no politician, but there has to be something as a human I could do right?
RIP Baby Valeria
So is there a crisis at the border or not? Democrats said it was manufactured. Please advise.
It does not make sense if the child is in the father's t shirt in hot weather.
None of this would be happening if Trump had not had a fantasy of building a wall, it was a campaign fling until he realized his followers are as hateful as his imagination and he wasn't allowed to back down from it.
Anything can happen at any time that could make anyone as desperate as this poor man and his baby. It’s easy to be callous from the comfort of your safe warm home but in the blink of an eye you could be in a situation where there’s no choice. Always remember that😔
Please use legal means. This is a result of people attempting to enter illegally. This can not be stressed enough.
SamBaker This is heartbreaking, just as some of the comments. When did you forget how to be human?
jaketapper Christians fleeing violence, searching for a better life for their children, risking everything, only to be demonized and shunned by so called “Christians”. Even in death, just scorn and hate, from chest pounding “Christians”. This is characterization that they were less human.
Had the father applied to enter the country legally they would both still be alive today. 😕
Thought it wasn't a crisis.
no one puts their children in a boat unless the water is safer than the land RIP
If you don't want to die, don't try swimming in a river with a current like that. The death of his child and of himself are on his hands solely.
Shame the parent was trying to con the system by avoiding an entry point for asylum.
tRump loves this!
Heartbreaking. POTUS should establish a task force to focus on improving the living conditions in C. America.
Don't try to enter the USA illigally. It's dangerous.
This is what happens when parents play with the lives of their children.
Very sad indeed. Legally applying from your own country is much safer. Please don’t take your children on such dangerous and illegal journeys.
Being that we are the richest, most powerful nation on earth, is this really the best we can do?
I don’t understand why news outlets enforce the standard of not publishing photos of bodies if the deceased are white Americans, but if they’re brown foreigners all ethics go out the window and the corpses are splashed across the front pages. AP journalism ethics Immigration
jaketapper Remove this picture immediately
Being the richest, most powerful nation on earth, is this really the best we can do?
Exactly why we have to build the wall so they only cross where it’s safe to do so. And prove that’s his daughter, by the way.
WTH goes on in their countries that they are willing to risk such journeys. Why do we have so many Americans attacking the USA for such tragedies Why doesn’t anyone condemn these countries? 😡
Two angels are dead, rest in peace Valeria and your father.
We should construct some sort of barrier to deter people from going into the water, so they follow the footpaths to where they can safely cross at the designated entry to apply for asylum.. Like a wall or something. (Btw take this picture down, show some decent respect)
Mothafucka, just say “2 year old”.
This headline is so wrong. That little girl should have been home with her Mom. Very sad.
albamonica Congress must act now and stop this tragedy from happening again
SO WHY THE HELL ISN'T THE CROOKED MEDIA TELLING THESE PEOPLE THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL NOT- HOUSE-FEED & CLOTHE ILLEGAL INVADERS.. THAT THEY SHOULD STAY HOME & MAKE THEIR COUNTRY GREAT!!
It's Heartbreaking
sistadbarnes HOW Disgusting of you to show their dead bodies. No respect for the deceased.Smh
So sad, I’m thinking Mexico must be a terrible place to live, that these poor people are so willing to risk their lives for a better life in America. You Democrats better get your butts back to business and make the changes to Immigration Laws that the President has asked for!
Tragic as it is, CNN stated that El Salvador govt ask their citizens to work their economic issues at home with them and to not risk this. So this was economic asylum that caused this? If so then the liberals are at fault for chanting open border for all come on in illegally.
I can’t even begin to comprehend the level of sociopathy that is driving some of the comments on this image. Where’s your humanity?
One thing tRump has done is shown us just how vile and disgusting some of our neighbors really are deep down inside. They were just afraid to show it before so we thought they were normal. I no longer wonder how Hitler came to power.
So sad
This breaks my heart 💔
The perils of trying to cross the rio to enter the USA illigally.
For those who have never been so desperate for a normal life, think what it must have taken to decide such a journey. Count your blessings, then share your good fortune with at least empathy if not full understanding. Be kind.
Take the incentive away for coming to America illegally!
jaketapper Six months ago you reported there was no crisis. Stop using tragedy to push your political garbage.
'This breaks my heart. American policies caused their desperation. We need to help these people.' *Immigrant Family shows up at their doorstep* 'I would let you live with me but.....'
Hell is to good for the people saying they should not come here. You came from somewhere, we all did. Where is your humanity? Where is your God? My God tells me to love all, but you hateful humans are making it so hard.
We. Suck. RESIST !!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone find this picture odd Who the fuck, in their right mind swims with someone else attached in their own shirt liberalmediaatitagain
How far would you go to give your kids a better life? Most people are never put in this position, mentality we should try putting ourselves in these poor peoples position before turning a blind eye or making a commitment
This is what the Democrats want. Any thing and everything is acceptable as long as they can blame Trump and get you to give them coverage. You are conspiring with the Democrats to promote these horrors.
So disturbing. If our immigration system wasn't so messed up, if these countries weren't so dangerous, this man and his daughter could have come here to create a better life. People shouldn't think he chose to break the law.
gilduran76 Is Central America so horrible that you would put a two year old child on such a dangerous journey?
I think it’s time to purge the Mexican government! They’re allowing this to happen. 😡
He assumed the risk by defying the law and trying to enter the US illegally via a river rather than a port
Where's the story on how for months Democrats insisted there was no crisis at the border.
Shame on Trump and the GOP!
Why would anyone put their children in danger 💀!!! This is crazy.
And the Left, which includes YOU, encouraged them to come.

Astounded by the many heartless comments. Imagine if this was you and your baby girl. Heartbroken.
How long before DonaldJTrumpJr compares them to skittles.
Congress completely at fault
Why is it that the US has to interfere with every other country, yet ignores those in need. By ignoring climate change, the US will be seeing many more washed up bodies of climate refugees.
Oh no 😢
well here's one person who doesn't give a shit
You come illegally, you face the brunt, fair and square
No words. So Pissed this is happening.
This is horrible but why are u running this picture? U are disgusting! If they weren't imagrants u wouldn't b posting this picture! HumanityFirst
AMluvinit2 If the world wouldn't give the rich large tax breaks. And always worry about greed the world would be a better place.
AMluvinit2 US policies are forcing desperate people into dangerous situations.. ImmigrationReform needs to happen now.
When I see some of these answers, I think Hillary should have found a stronger word than deplorables, tho that does sum it up pretty well.
bringbackourgirls
Fake news . . .
This is the result of sanctuary cities and lawmakers who encourage illegal crossings with their rhetoric. People would not risk their lives like this if they knew there was no chance of getting in this way. Congress needs to do their job, secure the border, streamline the process
The AP should release AT LEAST as many stories about illegal immigrants destroying the education system as they do stories that try to gain sympathy for illegals.
The bot activity on this post is amazing
Wow. This is unbelievably sad.
Is this a 2014 pic or?
Looks like we know what comes after “Compassionate Conservatism” for the GOP.
jaketapper this is the saddest thing I have seen in a long time. I feel sick to my stomach
“it speaks so clearly to the real risks of these U.S. programs that are either returning people back to Mexico seeking asylum or in this case limiting how many people can enter the U.S. every day.” Again, AP puts blame on the U.S. completely. A “limit” that is NEVER acceptable.
I thought it was a manufactured crisis
You should be ashamed for exploiting this senseless tragedy to further your open borders agenda, AP. This is a scene that would NEVER be shown in any other context except to score political points, just like that dead Syrian boy on the shore in Turkey. YOU ARE DISGUSTING.
Don't walk 2,000 miles nor swim across wide river...
ImmigrantDeaths I suggest the worst kind of bullying. Too bad no one is any importance leads a campaign against it.
Lord please pray for these racist. Lord hear our prayer 🙏
Can we now talk about the humanitarian crisis in Central America? Will the U.N finally recognize it just like Sudan, Syria, and Venezuela?
On
Is this fake news? Because you all have been unitedly saying for the past 2 years “no crisis at the border”! Now you want to talk, there is and drugs are pouring in? Its a little to little and little to late. Help our President do the right thing Congress!
freeanons 23, why didnt they say 2 years old? cause 23 means death to 'them'.
This could literally be me, I would absolutely take the risk to get my baby here, anyone with children would.
WWJD?
Thank u Democratic policies. U all should b so proud
POTUS StephenMillerAL jaredkushner IvankaTrump FLOTUS You got your wish. TrumpIsADisgrace
no one will take your opinion over body stripping. it´s sad. a child drowned. it´s the fault of it´s father. pervertedly using the picture of two drowned people will not change anything.
Absolutely heartbreaking
Simple solution.....build the wall. This will stop!
It’s unbelievable what people are saying on this thread. I would love to believe they were all Russian bots but sadly most are heartless & soulless American citizens. This dad was trying to give his child a better life. Stop with the inhumanity, please.
You are using them as props instead of giving them the respect you would give to any other drowning victim. Why would you do this to anyone?
Corrupt Democrats!!!!!
Don’t think the trip was worth it!!!!
Heartbreaking, hits you right at home. Those poor people and that that poor baby 🥺😢 my just aches for them.
Clearly many of you don’t understand a parents desperation.. that’s when you risk it all for the sake and safety of your child! Hoping for the best outcome. Its called we are going to stay and die or die attempting freedom and a better life! Wake up all of you entitled adults!
JoeNBC These comments evince a disturbing lack of empathy. It's a desperate person trying to get his child a better life. What's wrong with you? Stop listening to that right-wing brainwashing.
We have begged Democrats to fix the loopholes with Republicans. Damn politics! Now look! Exploiting these people for their own power. Every American should be sickened by the Democrats. They are to blame. Remember 'Manufactured crisis'?
This is not a recent phenomenon. When I was in El Paso in early 1986, within sight of the Rio Grande, every day the bodies of the Mexican poor would wash up at the river edge. Grandmothers working as maids for Texans, carpenters building subdivisions, drowned on the river.
Whew, Americans are ugly, as demonstrated by the comments here. It’s shameful.
GOPDONTGIVEAFOCK
jaketapper It's sad to see so much criticism directed to the father by people whose lives have been so privileged that they can't imagine the kind of desperation that would cause a person to make such a perilous journey.
Shouldnt have tried to enter illegally!!!! Its called not smart!!
😔 RIP
jaketapper I don’t even believe the pictures anymore because TheDemocrats will literally do and/or stage ANYTHING for the potential for political gain. IF this is real, it’s been going on for decades and it’s still as sad as it always was - so...Congress, enact realistic immigration reform
Propaganda
Okay....how do we know this is a legitimate photo? It appears 'too perfectly managed'. They aren't swelling. So they haven't been dead long, or aren't dead at all.
Don Lemon and John Dean sucking each other saying the Trump base is glad these people drown. Why is CNN still on the air
If these people thought they wouldn't be able to get into the United States this way, perhaps this kind of tragedy could have been prevented.
Perhaps the press shld highlight & concentrate more on what is going on in Mexico & the 'concentration camps' that house small children like animals rather than Trump's rapes, Iran & every other problems that Trump has created since he took office.
Delete this, you monsters.
JoeNBC This is what President Terd has created on the southern border the people are wrong color. You never hear a anything on the northern border, (drugs and immigration) violations. They have the right skin color. Probably most racist President in history
freeanons Do they kiss the ground with delight? Right! Hunger men must know their place!
Just had amazon deliver diapers, blankets, eye masks and sweat shirts to the El Paso RedCross feelsgood
JoeNBC realDonaldTrump you rank amongst the worst human-beings who ever lived on our planet
Funny how “pro-life” Americans celebrate the deaths of brown people. No. Not funny. Deplorable.
This is a tragedy that could have been avoided. If the parents had just decided to enter our country legally, their family would not be mourning 2 senseless deaths
If you and the rest of the left media had reported this stuff when Obama was president instead of hiding it and covering for him, it might not have ever gotten this bad. The media is complicit in these deaths.
What happened to the manufactured crisis narrative?
I'm calling bullshit.
Entering the United States outside of a port of entry is a misdemeanor. It shouldn't be a death sentence.

Do Americans realize that this lack of humanity is actually dehumanizing you as a country, so the next time someone attacks your country the world won’t care, we now think the world will be a better place with less Americans in it. And with that, Putin’s plan is moving forward.
This is Trumpism. Have mercy on the stranger, Christians. Luke 10:25-37
This man basically committed suicide trying to illegally cross our border & the POS took his child w/him. He's a criminal. His child is a victim of his criminality. PersonalResponsibility BuildTheWall We need to hold SpeakerPelosi DEMONcRATS responsible for encouraging this!
Democrats have created a human trafficking crisis on the border. Dems continue to block all solutions.
So sad, that Mexican Government has so little pride in their country, that they let this sort of thing happen... no reason Mexico cannot be a desired destination.
If Democrats didn’t advocate open borders these two would be alive. SpeakerPelosi AOC
Love all the people blaming the United States for this instead of the parents who dragged their kid across thousands of miles of dangerous land
I read the comments and it's clear to me. Americans are not nice people!
This is so upsetting. Humans beings are a failed species.
What crisis? How sad can this pic be ,until the Democrats admit there is a CRISIS at our borders this will continue to happen . It is time to shut the Illegalentry into this country down ! Not just S Amer but from everywhere visas etc etc No borders no country
jaketapper Heartbreaking
😭😭😭😱😓
All for liberal freebies....I'm guessing the Democrats are to blame
Who would want to take this risk unless there was no other option show love and if you cannot give them place in your heart give them some in your country
Why does anyone think this will change anything? Republicans did nothing after 20 children were killed at Sandy Hook. Trump isn't pro-life.
Exactly. This is what happens when you incentivize them to start the journey/attempt.
Who fault is it not the USA it’s sad to see but what other country can you just walk into I will answer that no country.
JoeNBC Oops, should have stayed home.
What an awful parent. He should of entered legally instead of trying to fuck the system. My grandparents did. Darwinism RIO USA BuildTheWall
Democrats have let it be known that they will be allowed into the country no matter what encouraging people to bring their children on a dangerous journey. A strong border and enforcing the laws will discourage this
Close the borders!
Very sad. Please tell more people it's very dangerous to try to illegally enter the US.
When will the DOJ file charges against the democratic party for aiding and abetting human trafficking? Not much different than all the slaves they owned and controlled. History repeats itself because ignorance controls us.
Bad parenting.
jaketapper LindseyGrahamSC senatemajldr FLOTUS IvankaTrump How do you sleep at night or look in the mirror or at your children ? You mustn’t believe in hell No children died in border custody under Obama. This is your sin.
You mean “The Made Up By/Fabricated By Trump” boarder crisis. That photo is sad and disgusting. Folks are flooding over here due to Democrats open boarder platform and desire. Secure the damn boarder and stop this madness.
laurenhtexas SpeakerPelosi RepJerryNadler HouseDemocrats RepAdamSchiff SenateDems
They shouldn't have came.
Where’s SpeakerPelosi now
So ironic that Republicans are all for late term abortion when it's an 8 year old kid from another country drowning next to its dead parent.
Twitter this photo is disrespectful and inappropriate. Take it down!
Don't attempt illegal entry into the United States. This man killed his kid.
Hmm, knees bent and feet sticking out of water. Doesn’t pass the smell test.
Adult actions have adult consequences! I’m tired of 💩 like this being posted as though somehow the US is responsible. The father, is the one solely responsible for his death and the death of his child. Every country has immigration laws and y’all think they should be ignored.
Why would that father do that to his child?
jaketapper And Democrats called this manufactured crisis and still are not willing to do real immigration reform overhaul. I'm not siding with the Republicans. Both sides hands are dirty on this one. Absolutely disgusting stalemate of politics.
I'm ashamed of myself for ever complaining about anything... I am blessed, and my life is perfect.
I really wish we could deport the people trying to argue that these people got what they deserved.
Wow this is sad So so sad
Blame the Democraps
Its illegal immigration not migration.
CLOSE THE BORDER AND END ALL INCENTIVES. This is not hard.
can not unsee wtf!
Send the picture to the other illegal aliens maybe they'll learn
Hey, Grim Reaper senatemajldr , here's two more for ya. GOP GOPComplicit

If that is actually his child.
this is on Trump's watch..he created this..that he blames the person most recently in charge who Trump says ' I have never spoken to him' pretty much explains the ineptness of this 'administration. VOTE. God bless this Father and his child FAAD
JoeNBC This is on the DEMOCRATS. 'Fake Crisis' real afterall right haters?
Not our fault. He made a choice and it didn’t work out.
Let me guess this Trump's fault too right?
AOC would say that the US needs to drain all the water from the rivers.
Senator you are a disgrace. While tragic, choices have consequences. Don’t cross the river if you can’t swim the tide. We also don’t really know what happened here other than they drowned. Also, this has been going on for years. Send money for lifeguards. 🙄
in he words of obama “don’t bring your children here”
Heartbreaking. It doesn’t matter the circumstances. We’ve hardened our hearts if the tragedy on this is lost on a matter of law.
jaketapper This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen.
ScottThuman THEN stay home! You don't even KNOW if this is real father! These ILLEGALS are committing crimes, stealing children - jest to have American TAXPAYERS support them! Greedy, lazy turds!
What is truly sad is that nobody forced him into the water.
ALL THIS CAN BE AVOIDED...DO NOT COME TO UNITED STATES ILLIGALY...DO NOT RISK YOUR CHILDREN BY BRINGING THEM TO A TREACHEROUS LONG LONG JOURNEY...
2 less ! Great news!
Lotta troll accounts stirring up shiz here. Don't feed them.
PeteSouza So many heartless deplorables posting hate....
PeteSouza realDonaldTrump This happened because of your metering and 'hold them in Mexico' policies. These deaths are by your own hands.
That’s just a few months younger than my daughter...
I thought there was no crisis?
FLOTUS bebest
jaketapper There is no appropriate response to this except sorrow.
Do you have the family’s permission to share this photo?
Nice, before trying to help or something..he/she took a pic.
I saw that picture and it broke my heart..
It underscores the desperation of the poor people stuck in Mexico and the complete deprivation of the President and the GOP.😔
I thought 6 months ago... you all said there was no crisis and it was manufactured?
Bush/Reagan's central america policies have a direct link to what is happening in C. America. The refugee crisis in Europe is a result of our mideast wars. We are creating these human crisis. Perhaps if we hate it, we should stop doing shit that creates this desperation.
This should be reported for displaying a sensitive image.
annairrera I'm sure we can all blame George W Bush/DJT for most modern human suffering. 🤔? No 'hip/woke' people ever blame banking class or unrestrained globalization & illogical, mega-polluting Chinese industry for any woes (the real changers). Annoying, that.
Yeah its tragic,but this has been going on wayy before realDonaldTrump. BarackObama had illegals in cages too.Not a fan of either party but why all the uproar NOW thehypocrisyofitall
Prolly fake..am I bitter? Oh yeah, I am. Give me a reason to not be.
coffeeshopjihad We're the US, right?
JoeNBC This breaks my heart
JoeNBC The perils of international travel, especially when you are on the run from your home.
JoeNBC trumps fault.
carriecordero And desperation
HOW IS THIS THE FAULT OF THE US? 👏🏾DAMN 👏🏾IT 👏🏾DONT 👏🏾COME 👏🏾HERE
JoeNBC Horrific
The people looking at this photo and thinking they deserve death for coming to America are the ones who support Concentration Camps and Trump. Fuck all of them. I've had my fill of racists and Nazis who can look at a dead baby and say 'that's what they get'.
jaketapper Godspeed dear souls.
People have no compassion, they see a dead baby and dad and it’s all about blame and how heartless you all are. People don’t want to leave their country but imagine having to travel so far bc crossing to the unknown is better than what’s at home.
JoeNBC If you don’t get Gods wrath then what gives?
So Sad 😥
Trump has nothing to do with this, these people are responsible for their own well-being.
This is a bad accurance, I do hate to see it. Regardless, it’s been happening for a long time, don’t act like it’s the 1st or last time any of you will read about it. notashocker
For all of you that want open borders what is your solution? I’m genuinely asking. Please enlighten.
Rest In Peace sweet baby and brave loving father! My heart is broken.
But I thought there wasn’t a crisis?
jaketapper Democrats need to pass legislation to help the crisis at the border!
crosa1988 Oh God. Please, we need to help!!!
Democrat sanctioned human sacrifices.
a couple of bad hombres, right POTUS ?
jaketapper Heartbreaking 😔
If you mock what they do to try and have a better life. You dont understand what it means. You dont have perspective on life. You have nothing and you are nothing.
JoeNBC I thought the border wall Trump says has already been built and paid for by Mexico was supposed to fix this
It is dangerous and not worth losing your life 🤦🏽♀️
And this is exactly why on January 12, 2017, President Obama announced the immediate cessation of the wet feet, dry feet policy. Returning Cuban nationals to Cuba to avoid endangering their lives.
bethany_joni KilledByTrump
The responses to this are heartless and telling about the state of some Americans souls. Imagine seeing this picture and thinking an appropriate comment: “well, they should have done this a different way”. Good luck America, you’ll need it.
jaketapper Omg! This is horrifying
jaketapper People don’t risk their lives unless their lives are at risk.
But the Liberals are mad at Wayfair
On you GOP senatemajldr GOPLeader GOPChairwoman realDonaldTrump your cruel and inhumane policies and disregard for human life outside your stupid party lines result in deaths.
Human Decadence...
When are the Democrats and AP going to realize that the crisis on the border is of their making, and that they are the only ones who could actually solve it if it wasn't for their crappy politics?
So incredibly heartbreaking.
JCTweet2 “because the family from El Salvador was unable to present themselves to U.S. authorities and request asylum, swam across the river on Sunday with his daughter, Valeria.” Yes, I CAN and WILL blame trump for this. DontLookAway
Very sad! We are heartless if this doesn’t bother each and everyone of us. We need a border wall to keep people from this. It seems like an easy thing to do, but that river is dangerous!
this is horrendous! and to the people who say 'don't break the law' what the hell is wrong with you? He was hoping to make a better life for himself and his daughter. Obviously he would not have made the trip just for the fun of it. It is heartbreaking.
And this is what Trump states are murderers and rapists He should be ashamed.
JoeNBC VERY SAD!!!!! If they had come in legally this wouldn't have happened. This is on PELOSI HEAD - get immigration DONE.
💔
jaketapper Pictures we didn't want to see since Aylan Kurdi but this happened a lot on the coast of Africa and at the US border.
If the father had lived, he should have been charged with capital murder and executed
jaketapper Yet, Democrats won’t change asylum laws & intice the perilous journey. IllegalAliens
Disgraceful! Using this photo as click bait.
Another stain on America courtesy of the Trump administration
Until both sides of the political spectrum become more pragmatic and less rigid, this crisis will remain unresolved. Immigration is a privilege, but again we can also be empathetic.
This breaks my heart as a father of a 2 yo. Cant imagine ever putting her through a trip like this knowing I was doing so illegally, not solidly knowing the end result for her sake. It is your job as a father to children to provide, protect, prevent.
well. there are laws.
Important notes bigots will ignore or deny: most migrants are not breaking the law. Breaking migration law isn’t punishable by death. Our gov’t & many large corporations have played or are playing big roles in fucking up the migrants home countries. We are responsible.
That's sad - how long before CNN links this to the realDonaldTrump ?
realDonaldTrump ...there you go 45*
Other administrations, seeing how their metering tactics were taking lives, would move to change things. However, I’m sure they were aware that these changes would cost lives. It’s a price they want the refugees to pay.
So....if they came here legally, they would still be alive. Very sad that dems do t really care about this
“A tragic photo of a man & his 23-month-old daughter who drowned in the Rio Grande underscores the malice of the right wing’s radical, patriarchal white-supremacist agenda & how it specifically exploits racists’ fears of non-white migrants.”
Where is her mother ?
Wait! Who invited the white people on the Mayflower? Asking for Native Americans!
Didn’t need to see the picture!
Heart breaking.Congress where the F—k are you. Oh, I forgot your either running for President or sitting in endless hearings trying to get Trump. DO SOMETHING. NOW!
Father of the year.
Shut down the fcking borders and this won’t happen
this illegal crosses the border and raped a woman in a wheelchair, he tells judge he’ll go back to Mexico if released, lib judge releases him and he goes and rapes same woman again before going to Mexico... where’s your story on this?
Loose border policies and the promise of free stuff literally can result in death
Sad. I don’t blame them for trying for a better life, but there is a safe and legal way to seek admittance to the US, and no country is more historically welcoming of immigrants. A tragic choice.
Rest In Peace dear ones
Stay Home--Save Lives.
. IvankaTrump Give up your silly empowerment project & work on an issue to save lives. Your boss in the WH is incapable of creating an immigration policy beyond walls & concentration camps. He cut funding to help the countries these people are fleeing from. This is the result.
Try ending the drug war.america has been losing the war since it began.
dcpoll That horrific image is the equivalent of NapalmGirl in Vietnam. Sometimes the horror 💥is💥the story. pbump
What a horrible thing to do to your own child.
These deaths are because of liberals. They lure them here.
Crossing the Rio Grande is not an asylum point of entry. If you try & cross illegally, it could be deadly. TheDemocrats have the power to put this to an immediate stop. Reform asylum laws, build the wall, close loopholes. Less kickback money on child, drug, & human trafficking.
dcpoll 🙏🌠🌠🙏
this is so sad, let the people in.
The bots are coming in droves in here
JoeNBC And please tell us why anyone would try to swim in a river with a 23 month old?
Lots of criticism about our nation's policies that led to this tragedy, yet nobody criticizes the nation that they're fleeing to get here, and the terrible policies of that country that compels people like this to risk their lives to immigrate?
I’m sure Trump is gonna be blamed!!! 🙄🙄🙄
JoeNBC Please stop saying this is bad parenting! Who are we to judge anyone who's been through these circumstances
DJT_feet2fire Oh God 😪
JoeNBC I’m calling BS on this pic.
The world is poisoned.
JoeNBC Lord forgive the United States Of America for they “KNOW” what they are doing.
It's not illegal to seek asylum and you have to be in the country you're seeking asylum in to do it jfc.
richardpbacon Please, please, please people of the USA help these people and the children in cages. They are human beings. Please rail against your Government treatment of PEOPLE. Please xxx
This is so heart breaking. I wish i could unsee this. 😥
Don't make the trip ppl!
This is the same playbook the Left used to manipulate the public opinion during the European migrant crisis.
Democrats don’t care
*content warning for the original tweet* y'all would never post a white family's suffering like this. Trash
God Bless them this is horrible but the Democrats don’t want to hear about the horrible situation for these parents trying to track across a country to get to the USA this is not the way to Legally come to the USA ..Democrats just open the borders let them kill themselves to come
This father put his child in a dangerous situation that cost both of their lives. This is why u apply thru the process and come safely and legally.
They'd be alive if democrats weren't promising them free everything here. chuckschumer SpeakerPelosi I hope the death of this man and his little angel haunts you for the rest of your lives. Were their lives worth 2 votes?
The wall would fix this right up
Yes Mexico, Do your Job.
Also anyone notice the “Bud Light” cans?
Why does no one realize that this man, as sad as it is, died while committing a crime and killed his daughter. He chose to attempt to sneak in. His choice. BuildTheWall IllegalImmigration
Looks like the media is stepping up their agenda... now including dead bodies to get reactions
The desperate journey for better! Ugh heart wrenching!!!!
Absolutely heartbreaking. God help this world.
But according to the dems, this is a 'manufactured' crisis, and they're not doing anything in Congress to fix this.
Sorry, but the criminal here is the father
Stay at home. There’s no reason to come here. Promised lies by democrats and Soros.
OPEN borders are dangerous borders - CLOSE THEM NOW
As a father this picture almost bring me to cry, however I WOULD NEVER put my kid in harms way trying to cross a fking river or a desert to go to another country, I'd rather bust my ass here in my island working triple shifts to provide my family.
Is it still a manufactured crisis?
Sounds like we need to fortify our border so people stop killing themselves trying to invade us
We need some relief agencies down there and some political pressure on the LA Governments Driving this horror show.
Same righteous souls espousing 'poor parenting' are same shallow minds that questioned 911 victims decision to jump from the 82nd floor.
and people really think that they went through all of that because.... they want our jobs
Or you could delete this photo out of respect for the deceased.
Tell the Democrats
This is horrifying. You have to wonder whether that man understood the risks involved in crossing illegally.
We (USA) have become monsters for allowing these crimes against humanity where we now have a body count of children chasing a better life
America does not care MERICA and MAGA is the new world order Dead kid and father means nothing to these people
I feel disgusted.
Very sad to see all of these migrants look for a better life from their violent government and end up dead on that journey.Just think how terrifying it has to be to make this harsh journey,with death as a real outcome.
People flee their country for a reason. Not everyone is a criminal.
Some seriously bad parenting. As well sensationalism from Ap
Sensational. This lacks ethics in reporting.
Everything you need to know about the United States is here in this comment thread. Mis primos Latinoamericanos: lo siento, tienes que huir a los Estados Unidos. Lo siento por las personas que te odian aquí. Te deseo seguridad en tu viaje. Dios te bendiga.
Stay home and you won't drown
Humanity is lost, we have allowed our society to devolve into this? Where are all the 'good' Christians? Where's all that church money going? Did Teg Haggard snort it all in the early 2000's?
Anyone replying with anything other than compassion are blinded by their own privilege and can’t begin to comprehend the horrors these people are fleeing from so don’t bother. They don’t deserve your energy. Channel it towards contacting your reps and please vote!!! resist
heart breaking....:(
Just WOW. How is this not entirely proof that immigration reform is needed
This should be taken down now or at least have a warning first. Unacceptable. Have some decency.
Sad. But the decision that father made is what killed his daughter and him. If he didn’t try to cross illegally they would both be alive.
very very sad, if Dems didn't encourage people to enter the US this way, this would never have happened..
RIP
Atrocious & disturbing !
wtf are you posting pictures of dead people?! j.xo
Here’s an idea.. and I know this is crazy.. but how about NOT embarking on such a dangerous journey with your young kids?
Should have stayed in Mexico
This is too sad 😔
They did it to them self trying to cross Illegally...
Looks like a tragic loss of life, endangering a child, and several immigration laws being broken. 🤷♂️
