Teargassed Caravan Migrant Mother Is Taking Her Five Kids to Reunite With Their Father in US
GATEWAY PUNDIT ^ | 11/26/2018 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 11/27/2018 8:22:37 AM PST by bitt

The photographer who took the now iconic photo of a caravan migrant Honduran mother and her children fleeing tear gas near the U.S. – Mexico border crossing at San Ysidro, California and Tijuana on Sunday says the woman is traveling with her five children to reunite with their father who is already in the U.S., in Louisiana

This fact not being reported in the numerous sympathetic articles published Monday about the mother, Maria Meza (aka Maria Lila Meza Castro), save for a buried mention by the Washington Post. The Post did a profile on the Reuters photographer who took the photo, Kim Kyung-Hoon, and included that Kim said he was told by a Reuters official that Meza was trying to reunite with her children’s father in the U.S.

“The woman grips both her daughters, one with each hand, as they run away. One child is barefoot; the other is about to fall. Both wear only T-shirts and diapers.

“The woman looks back at the smoke from the tear gas they’re trying to escape. Behind them is wire fencing, a partial wall separating them from the United States, and dozens of other migrants, many of them children, also running."

She hasn’t missed any meals or snack. Or desserts.

Where were her other 3 kids? Are they back posing in one of the other shots? Maybe they weren’t “sympathetic enough”, probably wearing decent clothe and Nike shoes, so they are standing behind the photographer.

Note the photographer does not appear to be “running away from tear gas” either.

next time she should present herself in a civilized fashion at the border or, better yet, at any USA consulate or embassy in any country (including her own)

Interesting how she makes no claim to fleeing violence only that she needs work.

Mexico offered her work.... but she's ‘country shopping’......

UNITED STATES TAXPAYERS to provide for my children.”

Exactly....who is the father? What’s his phone number? Where does he live? Where does he work? Is he in the US illegally?

It's all bullshit, another sham invented by the media.

No such man exists, in LA or anywhere else, who fathered all of those children. If they were tested, I doubt if even two of them had the same father. Wouldn't be surprised if they don't even have the same mother!

Whole thing is a setup, anchor-babies in reverse, to get soft headed do-gooders to demand we throw open the border. If it succeeds, then everything Trump said and did - the wall, the troops, the tough talk, the tear gas - was a worthless failure.

30 people outside the outdoor shelter are signing up to leave Mexico and return home. Many cite fear of staying after yesterday’s clash at the border and discrimination in Tijuana from residents.

I agree totally. But, let her provide some information. One or two things will happen.

1. She’ll provide a name, maybe, and that person might be identified. Once he is and he will be in the country illegally, he can be detained and deported. He will also be working somewhere with other illegals, all of whom are in the US illegally and can also be detained & deported.

2. It’s proven that she’s lying to a federal agent and in lieu of prosecution she turn her fatass to the South and start walking.

And by the way, as she’s being interviewed, we’re going to do one of those generic, over the counter, DNA paternity tests to see if they’re really your kids.

Good suggestion. The only problem is we also need the suspected Father’s DNA.

The test is even cheaper through Amazon Prime.

Maybe she can explain the logic of why she goes out of her way to illegally cross the border at the westernmost point when baby daddy is in Louisiana near the easternmost point of the border . . .

It’s iconic because the media wants an iconic image. It’s actually poorly composed. Next time they stage an iconic photo they should turn the kids around so we can see the pained looks on their faces.

The “supposed” father is probably part of the drug cartel or the MS13 gang or on the Soros payroll.

The MSM including Geraldo need to peddle their propaganda somewhere else where the mindless and brainwashed Marxists believe their crapola.

It appears this guy was deported at least five times.

BUILD THE WALL!

DEPORT THEM ALL!

If we deport the father, then the rest of the family can go home together.

Is her husband here illegally?

Partner, I know you are joking but the husband is part of this 40 Million Illegal Aliens in our country. If this is not an Illegal Alien invasion of our country, I do not know what is an Illegal Alien Invasion!!!

Also, there are more Spanish speaking kids in our public schools than English Speaking kids inside the Border States. Enough is enough.
