A little girl from Honduras stares into the camera, her young features contorted in anguish. Shes barefoot, dusty and clad only in a diaper and T-shirt. And shes just had to run from clouds of choking tear gas fired across the border by U.S. agents. A second photograph, which also circulated widely and rapidly on social media, shows an equally anguished woman frantically trying to drag the same child and a second toddler away from the gas as it spread.
The three were part of a much larger group, perhaps 70 or 80 people,..... pictured in a wider angle image fleeing the tear gas. Reuters photographer Kim Kyung-Hoon shot the photos, which provoked outrage and seemed at odds with President Trumps portrayal of the caravan migrants as criminals and gang members.
Trump officials said that authorities had to respond with force after hundreds of migrants rushed the border near Tijuana on Sunday, some of them throwing projectiles at Customs and Border Protection personnel.
Chaos erupted Sunday around the bustling San Ysidro border crossing, which Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said was closed to ensure public safety in response to large numbers of migrants seeking to enter the U.S. illegally.
But Democratic leaders, human rights advocates and others focused on the images of the two children in particular. Many pointed to the children left gagging from the gas attack as evidence that Trumps push against a caravan of asylum seekers from Central America had gone too far.
Shooting tear gas at children is not who we are as Americans, Tom Perez, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, tweeted. Seeking asylum is not a crime. We must be better than this.

Goebbels is smiling.
Something new to be thankful for - keeping out invaders!
Go Trump - MAGA
This whole thing is criminal on every level.
I noticed that in the news reports. They actually found some kids and put them front and center. Gee... wonder why.
Fricking EVIL media.
Kids schmids.
Those are Mexican midget crisis actors.
Soros gets the agit prop optics for which he paid. Undermined by the fact that Obama gassed the invaders first.
Obama said sending troops to the border was a stunt while Soros funding the border invasion is the real stunt.
America is subjected to left wing propaganda 7x24x366.
The little girl bears no resemblance to the woman.
Maybe because she isn't really the mother but a paid operative?
Think about it: Who else places women and children on the front line other than operatives? And Palestinians.

So, you no longer have to be there to report on the scene, you need only to look at a picture. I’m sure there is a picture of Washington Post reporters conspiring to destroy the U.S. As soon as I find it I’ll write the story.
The WaPost is lying to us. And this woman gets the Bad Mother of the Year Award for taking her kids to a violent attempt to crash the border. If she's really their mother, and not a human trafficker.
And people hired to procure children for rape, organ donations and ritual killings.
Children must die for the good of communism. Its done by design.
How did a child without shoes walk 1,500 miles from Guatemala? (It's beyond sickening how the MSM is now an open propaganda arm of the DNC.)
From Reddit/The_Donald:
a line of Mexican federal police blocked the overpass to the San Ysidro port of entry. Chief of federal police in Baja California said their goal was to maintain order but the caravan became violent, pushing & throwing rocks. Do not let MSM fool you, they are violent

prayers for Trump and any leaders standing firm on not letting illegals aliens (Invaders) in or claim asylum. Prayers for border patrol, ice and law enforcement to do their jobs wisely and lawfully and for their protection and safety. Prayers for USA citizens who live on land staddling the border keep them safe, help them to keep our laws and enable them to report any illegal tunnels or invaders they encounter so they can be aprehended and deported as well. God bless the USA and keep us safe as we are under attack from without and from within.
The kids have no pants, no shoes, the family has no change of clothes for a 2,000 mile trip..?
The woman and the kids are obviously FROM Tijuana, hired specifically for that photo shoot.
They traveled under 5 miles maybe a couple hours prior for those photos.
This is 100% Wag the Dog.
WaPo is 24/7 BS.
Cute:
The mom is dressed in Disney apparel. The girls are too old to be in diapers.
They have an unlimited supply of free fresh new clothing and shoes everyday and this is how she dressed the kids.
This was a photo stunt, obviously.
