Really the only person to blame for the child's death is the parenthe chose that path !

we should be consent ing

Thank Democrats....

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

It’s horrible that they took such risk. That isn’t on us...

It’s sad but that’s the risk they took when they set out to enter a country illegally.

Well, just stay home.

I feel sorry for them, it is not the ristriction that have led to these atrocities but the willingness to protect them.

For a mainstream media outlet to put out a gruesome picture of a father and child is downright unethical. It doesn’t matter what your political stand is but STOP using their death in your bid to get viewers. Disgusting! MigrationIsAHumanRight NewYorkTimes shame

Should came here legally

Does showing this image make you happy CNN, shame on you

I hope every single soul sees this picture. People need to see what the consequences of corrupt admin. I will take this photo with me on Nov 2020 and vote the f’ers OUT..

Which is better, stay alive in Salvador or drown trying to swim across? Democrats should answer that question because they were the ones giving these people an open invitation to enter the US illegally.

Broke my heart... why...😥

Horrific is one word. Irresponsible is another to show them in that nature. You guys are gross.

Meanwhile

Enough

SAD BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE ITS BEING USED FOR PROPAGANDA.

The US taxpayer gave the Salvadoran people $118 million (2017). What did they do with that money? Why are their people literally risking their lives to flee this country? Why do we continue to give them 100’s of millions of $?

They should have stayed home. Try it legally or don’t come !

feel free to kys

Sad, but THIS is not the fault of the United States.

It doesn't matter what Congress do. It can make the perfect immigration system, the tallest wall or even put deadly piranhas in the river. Those people will still come until there is opportunity for a decent life on their country.

Wow. If only something would deter things like this from happening. Perhaps a wall.

Ahhh, so it is trumps fault, he is making it harder for them to seek asylum! Trumps fault Trumps fault! Oh, btw, is cnn now calling this a crisis at the border? I thought trump was fabricating the crisis?

It is horrific. People who go into rivers trying to cross sometimes don’t come out. When was the last time you tried that?

Once again. Shitty parenting.

Nothing of value was lost

We don't like to see how ugly we are to each other, that's why we complain about this post, but the bottom line is that we might end up like that, if Trump continues to pick up a fight with Iran....oneearth,onerace.

Too bad Congress does nothing!

It is heartbreaking, but why isn't there at least a warning before having it right on the front page of your website? I'm glad that I don't browse CNN with my kids because they certainly don't need to see dead bodies.

It’s a very sad tragedy, but they should of used a legal border crossing. Blame Pelosi, Schumer, and Co.

That’s the decision he made! I blame the Democrats they are the ones not willing to stop this and change laws for their own selfish reasons,But of course this will be Trumps fault!

So sad.

These are real people. The fact that nations prioritize their imaginary borders over the well-being of their own species is abhorrent. With that said, it’s equally horrible that nations would allow their people to suffer at all. These corrupt governments need to be taken care of.

This should have some kind of trigger warning. You can report it without requiring readers to view the photo. Do better, please.

Shocking the viewers with a grotesque image to own Trump. What the hell is wrong with you people?

This guy should win father of the year. For 3 reasons: 1. Dangerously traveled thousands of miles to illegally enter a country. 2. Claimed asylum when he knew it wasn't going to work. 3. Went to cross a river knowing him and his daughter couldn't swim. Trump though...

Despicable CNN

They weren't drowned, they where murdered by their Coyote or one of the numerous Cartels. Both didn't end up face down in the water by accident. If they would have applied for asylum correctly, they more then likely, would still be alive

Should've crossed at the proper location. No sympathy for those that the Democrats kill.

The parents fault. smh

I’m sorry, how is this Trump’s fault? This has happened before he was elected. Stop trying to cause division!

Another attempt by the mainstream corporate controlled liberal media 2 influence the naive sheep. Hit them w emotion so they can cry in their safe space. This man is guilty of child endangerment. We r a glorious imperfect nation. Governed by rule of law. Or we r a nation no more

there should be NO BORDERS anywhere. the world is to small.

THIS should be the Cover of TIME instead of The Apprentice President

Democrats in congress fault

Not our fault

Thanks Trump

Don’t come here illegally. Period!

Congratulations Democrats you did that . You tell all of them ... come to America come to America ... Very sad

The dangerous when you travel hundreds of miles on foot. Maybe they should have stayed home.

And Fake News and the Dems continue to promote this dangerous behavior, which can prove lethal!! But then they are expendable for their hate against Trump if they think they can use this for their agenda!!

Hopefully people stop putting their families at risk by doing this.

There wasn’t a need to show the photo. Photo or not this is very sad. Being an illegal to any country doesn’t make you less of a human.

Oh, all of a sudden there’s a crisis at the border? Why did CNN and the Democrats deny it for so long? Now it’s President Trumps fault. Good reporting CNN.

You have to ask. Why would people make this ultimate sacrifice? Because what they’re coming from makes it worth the risk..

Thanks Democrats!

Seems like child abuse and exposure.

Good thing AOC and her gang continue to say, not one more dollar

secure the border and this won't happen anymore. problem solved.

Please stop encouraging illegal immigration, fake news

Trumps fault I assume?
