Father of crying child says family were never separated by border control agents & remain together
Daily Mail ^ | 21 June 2018 | DANIEL BATES and KAREN RUIZ

The father of the Honduran girl who became the face of the family separation crisis has revealed that he still has not been in touch with his wife or daughter but was happy to learn they are safe.

Denis Javier Varela Hernandez, 32, said that he had not heard from his wife Sandra, 32, who was with his two-year-old daughter Yanela Denise, for nearly three weeks until he saw the image of them being apprehended in Texas.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Hernandez, who lives in Puerto Cortes, Honduras, says that he was told yesterday that his wife and child are being detained at a family residential center in Texas but are together and are doing 'fine.'

'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.

Denis said his wife and daughter were never separated by border control agents and remain together.

He revealed 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.'

He said that Sandra had always wanted to experience 'the American dream' and hoped to find a good job in the States.

Denis, who works as a captain at a port on the coast of Puerto Cortes, explained that things back home were fine

Today we witnessed a total cave in on “family separation”. Instead of letting the kids go to prison with their murdering illegal alien father to “unite families” , we will not prosecuting the murdering illegal alien father at all!! Apparently, we elected Melania Trump but i don’t remember that. You may fully expect MILLIONS of illegal aliens now flooding into this country. “Zero Tolerance” went to “absolute catch and release” for criminal aliens if they have or buy a child. Total Cave in. Sickening to watch.

The really sad thing is that regular leftists and gullible moderates will (overwhelmingly) never know how badly they’ve been played by the propaganda media with this whole manufactured “scandal.” Because the Cultural Marxists have control over our major means of communication and influence (“news,” “education,” TV shows, movies, music, etc.), they’re never exposed to anything but the party line, no matter how dishonest and manipulative that may be. Almost nothing they are being fed is the way they blindly think it is.

Doesn’t sound like she has much of an asylum claim. Her hearing shouldn’t take long at all. Hope her return home is without difficulty.

Next time you visit, lady, please ask first.

The Truth no longer matters- the ‘New Truth’, as dictated by the left- it that the republicans are monsters that traumatize children
