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.

I guess it shouldn’t surprise me that a dysfunctional country is made up of dysfunctional families.
“Oh - is that for families to come and adopt?”
“No - that's when families come to visit their kids in the orphanage.”
Can you imagine!? And imagine the kid getting a visit from his family, and getting to see the older sister that still stays at home!
The Left again gains mightily from Fake News.
the only thing that matters in this news cycle world is telling the story and being first.
The truth does not matter.
I am not sure when conservatives are going to understand it.
OMG!! She left her HUSBAND to go to AMerica to get on the WELFARE TRAIN....FREE EVERYTHING!
Does this mean that Rachel Maddow’s crocodile tears will crawl back into the swamp?
