...says she's in Texas with her mother

The father of the little girl on the US-Mexico border, whose distraught face came to symbolise the plight of families separated by the Trump administration, has said that his daughter and wife are together, and doing well.

Denis Javier Varela Hernandez, 32, said that his two-year-old daughter Yanela was with his wife Sandra in a shelter.

Mr Varela Hernandez, a ship’s captain from Puerto Cortes, Honduras, said he had not spoken to them, but was informed on Wednesday that they were in custody in Texas.

“My heart broke because it's my little girl,” he told Spanish language network Univision.

“The first time I said that's my little girl when I saw the report.

“Of course I cried, it's really hard. I can imagine that my wife was very fearful crossing the border because she took the decision.”

Mr Varela Hernandez said he had urged his 32-year-old wife not to make the journey.

On the journey to the US, the girl was photographed crying while her mother was searched, and she has been featured on the cover of this week's Time magazine.

But, he told DailyMail.com, she had repeatedly said she wanted to go to the US for a “better future” and seek work, and left their Honduran hometown without telling him or any of their family members.

“I didn't support it. I asked her, why? Why would she want to put our little girl through that?” he told the website.

Actually, none of this fiasco is surprising. The US was led for eight years by an undocumented alien.

obviously, another #fakenews station. It’s disgraceful! Will Time magazine apologize for their lies?

Once again, the local uber lib Austin news said the father was pleased with the cover even after he proved it fake. It has nothing to do with whether I believe the news or not. Geez, it was what was reported.

I can’t wait until the neighbor gets his copy of his precious TIME magazine and point out they lied to him AGAIN.

Asylum, and the use of children as free passes for immigration, exploded in a coordinated manner in early 2013, shortly after Obama was re-elected. Shortly thereafter, the same techniques exploded on a mass scale in Europe.

It was planned, and managed.

The migrants have not only been coached, they have been recruited and supported by Leftist "charitable" organizations, which often get most of their resources from the public treasuries of Governments. Not a spontaneous development.

SEE GRAPHIC

Now I perfectly understand the message on the back of Melania's jacket. I'm also beginning not to care. There are too many American citizens who don't value the freedoms provided by your Constitution, and as they say...if you don't use it, you lose it. If the POTUS were to ask me for a solution, I would suggest, give it up. Take your life back, take your family out of the US, maybe live in your wife's homeland, and enjoy a retirement - life is too short to give it up for the kind of rabble that is trying to destroy you, your family and your country...

They don't deserve you. The rot is so deep and entrenched, the only way you would be valued is AFTER the scum understands, if ever, what they have thrown away.

So sad. After what Peter Ford wrote about Melania and Barron, maybe that coat with the slogan on it should go into mass-production. Every disgusted American should be wearing one. The crazies on the Left are totally beneath contempt.

That's the message on the jacket imo.

Better yet, call Janet Reno and send in the jack booted thugs to point an automatic weapon at her and send her home to her dad. It worked out well for Elian Gonzalez...

On Friday, Time published a correction saying: “The original version of this story misstated what happened to the girl in the photo after she (was) taken from the scene. The girl was not carried away screaming by U.S. Border Patrol agents; her mother picked her up and the two were taken away together.”

...and a lie runs hallway round the world while truth is still trying to get its shoes on...

...The image, widely seen as showing the girl crying over being parted from her mother, helped swell outrage at home and abroad that pushed President Donald Trump to back down on Wednesday on his administration's policy of separating children from their families while the adults were prosecuted for illegally crossing the border...

Everyone has seen the fake, but the exposure of the fake gets buried.

CORRECT! Millions of copies without the correction have already been delivered to homes and stores.

How many will ever see the correction?

Yes, that is the message....but PDJT is a patriot.

You write: “maybe that coat with the slogan on it should go into mass-production. Every disgusted American should be wearing one.”

Those rain coats are already sold out ( $39.00 USD),and that’s exactly what is going to happen. They will sell millions of them to American women.

But there are still 150 million Americans who think the battle is worth it. The real battle is barely beginning.As usual, PDJT is winning.

This faux illegal immigrant child issue is meant for only one thing, to distract the public from whats going on in the Senate Judiciary Committee Hearings and the DOJ Inspector General’s report. Its really going to be bad for the left next week when the report on the FBI and the DOJ’s Russia investigation is presented. The leftist media is avoiding any publicity on it, but that will not work, courtesy of PDJT’s twitter account.

Her husband is a ‘ships captain’ - she had enough money to pay people smugglers six thousand dollars TWICE. She expected to get a better-paying job in the US...and left her other daughters behind. He didn’t know she was leaving Honduras for the second time. She crossed the Rio Grande in an inflatable boat...with a toddler.

She sounds like an irresponsible idiot, and who was going to look after her child while she went to work?

Someone is persuading these stupid people to leave their home countries. Just what are they being promised..and who is making the promises?

Shocked is a pretty strong word. I think a better word is...

Meh.

she had repeatedly said she wanted to go to the US for a “better future” and seek work...

Why doesn’t she stay in her own hellhole and fix it? Since when does wanting a better future entitle an invader to show up on our doorstep? And “seek work”? How about the truth - seek welfare

I’d guess that the Father is lying about some of what he says as well (I didn’t know anything, I just turned around and she was gone, with 1/4 of the kids). He is likely in on a shared fraudulent racket, and would have come along after she was set up on food stamps in a free apartment somewhere. He still had some kids to bring as his free pass.

A bunch of Leftist organizations, which are always meeting with and talking with the people in Leftist political parties, have long discussed the migration strategy to gain control of wealthy countries. Some strategy think tank types (notably in Soros groups) and political operatives (notably in the Obama Administration) must have fleshed out a strategy and gotten it approved, because a lot of coordinated activity went on to create and sustain this flow.

The people are promised a better life, a full suite of welfare benefits, and all kinds of better things (medical care, education for the kids, entertainment). They get that message from many different ways, like friends/family who have already gone, movies and TV, traffickers, Leftist Politicians (both ours and theirs), in their local news, and from organizations dedicated to just this purpose - immigrant advocacy groups or refugee relief organizations or such.

love it!

What an opportunity for a clever marketer! Now, if FR was selling them, JR could make a few dollars.

The father says he hasn’t communicated with his wife for a month. As a captain on a ship, I assume he doesn’t contact her that often until his return. She did this once before. I image if he wanted to give up his job and become an illegal, he would have done so and brought the other daughters along.
But what do I know. You could be right. I would be more inclined to believe HIM than I would the media, such as TIME, however.

The people who organized this influx are preying on the dull, dumb and ignorant. Your basic wage isn’t enough to persuade anyone to leave home, and the expense of the upkeep of these people threatens to send you country broke, but the enemies in your and of your administrations don’t care about that, their objective is to undermine and destroy your Constitution and they will stop at nothing to achieve that end.

It’s Marxism at the core. The useful idiots who fall for the promises are expendable. That toddler is also expendable, there’s no reason or excuse for that woman to endanger the life of that child by taking her across the Rio Grande at night on an inflatable boat. She apparently had a job, her husband has a good job, she just wanted a better one and has been brainwashed to believe the US is Santa Claus to the world.

If the US doesn’t build the wall, it looks like you can kiss your Republic goodbye. Your enemies appear to be in Congress, the media just follows suit.
