#TrumpCamps don't bother to provide basic personal hygiene items to children, toddlers, or babies, but

Those guys may be murderers, but it’s the immigrant toddlers who are the bad hombres.

Oh, well, when you put it that way, treating children as young as a few months old like animals is ok:

Seriously fellow Americans? Really? I remember when we were better than this:

The man and his 23-month-old daughter lay face down in shallow water along the bank of the Rio Grande, his black shirt hiked up to his chest with the girl tucked inside. Her arm was draped around his neck suggesting she clung to him in her final moments.

The searing photograph of the sad discovery of their bodies on Monday, captured by journalist Julia Le Duc and published by Mexican newspaper La Jornada, highlights the perils faced by mostly Central American migrants fleeing violence and poverty and hoping for asylum in the United States.

According to Le Duc’s reporting for La Jornada, Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez, frustrated because the family from El Salvador was unable to present themselves to U.S. authorities and request asylum, swam across the river on Sunday with his daughter, Valeria.

He set her on the U.S. bank of the river and started back for his wife, Tania Vanessa Ávalos, but seeing him move away the girl threw herself into the waters. Martínez returned and was able to grab Valeria, but the current swept them both away.

The account was based on remarks by Ávalos to police at the scene — “amid tears” and “screams” — Le Duc told The Associated Press.

Details of the incident were confirmed Tuesday by a Tamaulipas government official who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, and by Martínez’s mother back in El Salvador, Rosa Ramírez, who spoke with her daughter-in-law by phone afterward.

“When the girl jumped in is when he tried to reach her, but when he tried to grab the girl, he went in further ... and he couldn’t get out,” Ramírez told AP. “He put her in his shirt, and I imagine he told himself, ‘I’ve come this far’ and decided to go with her.”

In recent weeks alone, two babies, a toddler and a woman were found dead on Sunday, overcome by the sweltering heat; elsewhere three children and an adult from Honduras died in April after their raft capsized on the Rio Grande; and a 6-year-old from India was found dead earlier this month in Arizona, where temperatures routinely soar well above 100 degrees Fahrenheit...

This is the mother/wife, who watched her husband and 23 month-old daughter be swept away and drowned, explaining to Mexican authorities what happened

No doubt that once the pro lifers see this they’ll stack the courts to overturn our immigration laws.

that’s just gut-wrenching

does the administration not realize that their rhetoric has actually motivated more migrants to come now?

Hey, where's Psych to remind us that this is all carry-over from the Obama administration?

Adder lost his job over this cartoon.

It's obviously "fake", because Trump would never ask.

Eisenhower? Seriously?

Trump likes his heroes not dead for 50 years.
