    Fact: this was news TWO years ago so get facts straight before you lay blame. Of course that would be too much work for many.

    I am disgusted at how immigrants have to risk their lives and their children's lives just for a chance to live in peace. And if they DO somehow make it into the US still alive, they will eventually be caught and deported. And separating children from their parent's and locking them up in separate buildings or wings is so cruel ! Imagine how terrified those babies are! And the poor parents would feel helpless to save

    That image is caused by democrats like this man. This news organisation lies to you and is Democrat propaganda. If you want the truth and get all the news about the corruption going on across the u.s. oh, then you can watch Fox News or Newsmax. Democrats are trying to make this a socialist Nation by using Marxist language and actions

    Why should we feel for these people drowning! There are literally kids in our country that die every day because they are drowning in poverty or abuse we donโ€™t care about them right we donโ€™t put them on the news right because it does not fit the democratic narrative

    This is nothing compared to the evil you Democrats with your leftist propaganda media installed in the White house. Go take a look at the border now.
