The family separation issue is tough, but don't expect liberals at TIME magazine to understand that. On Thursday, the magazine's cover attacked President Donald Trump as heartless.
"Welcome to America," the cover's title, is trending on Twitter.
Orlando talk radio host Joe Kelly shared the cover, and explained it briefly. "Time Magazine's latest cover features a fabricated mashup of a child at the border crying with a seemingly uncaring President Trump staring down at her with the words 'Welcome to America,'" he explained.
This image — fabricated, as Kelly noted — is a vast undersimplification of the issues. Trump did originally say it would take Congress to fix the issue, but following backlash he signed a stopgap executive order. The president had directed law enforcement to prosecute everyone who crosses the border illegally — imagine that! — but that led to parents in custody and children held separately.
Now, families will not be separated, which means children will also be in custody. Democrats are predictably unhappy — and want the government to let illegal border crossers off scot-free.
Trump did not handle the issue particularly well, but he is trying to enforce America's border, and trying to get Congress to on immigration. When Congress delayed and when Democrats signaled they weren't willing to act, Trump signed the stopgap order — which may be legally dubious — seemingly because he actually does care about the illegal immigrant children.
Separating families is not a good thing, but blaming Trump for everything on this issue is misleading, and fabricating an image to smear him is even worse.
That cover doesn’t pass the laugh test.
Perfect!
Communist propaganda was never so insincere.
Not photoshopped at all. There was a real solid red background at the time it happened.
Is that Trump staring down or was the Janet Reno staring down?
And then trump threw starburst at her.
LOL!
Our media is not only corrupt, it's evil. Frankly, any legitimate news organization should shame TIME for this as it makes them all look bad, but they don't and won't - which is good for us because normal people are see the media for what it is even if the media can't realize that it hurts their Left Wing cause. For the simple reason that people don't like t get activism positioned as news.
Well, if America itself goes for contextless memes, it has that act to thank for the folly in which it plunges.
my ‘tweet’ to @Time
@TIME to the incredible shrinking time. you truly suck. ANOTHER Trump bashing cover? Half of America loves this guy! I won’t even pick up your rag in the doctor’s office!
What should President Trump do about illegal alien children?
Release them
Enforce the law
I’m not sure

And this is surprising how?
I see gold in this garbage.
The next time the fickle left goes for imposing state over sane parent-child relationships, let’s ask them firmly but not unkindly if they meant “this” (showing the Time cover).
Photoshop. But we’re not Fake News!
RE: What should President Trump do about illegal alien children?
The correct commonsensical answer is to send them back across the Mexican border with their adult escort ( AKA “Parents” ) like Italy and the Eastern Europeans are doing now.
Time magazine?
I haven’t seen one of those since I was at an estate auction several years ago.
