First the Claim:
Report: SMALL LIFELESS, DEAD CHILDREN Found “Washed Up Along Riverbank” of Rio Grande
A Fox News exclusive reported this morning by Jana Winter inexplicably buried the lede.
Winter reports that several dead children have been discovered “washed up along the riverbank” of the Rio Grande, but fails to note that there have been no reports by the Obama administration on this.
Now the spin:
This indicates a pattern of covering up dead illegal alien kids by the Obama administration. It was two weeks before news was reported on the sole child death acknowledged by the Obama administration, Gilberto Ramos, a 15 year-old boy from Guatemala whose body was found in the Texas brush dead from the heat.
That's right, the same people that want to send thousands of kids back to poverty, countries run by criminal cartels and worse, are up in arms because - not kids dying - not Obama avoiding the discussion, but - Obama covering up kids dying.
At least with Benghazi there was an attempt to pretend it was about a dead American.
No more.
So get excited: Share this with your friends that still think there's a moderate Republican or two left in America. Share it with friends if you want to help refugees streaming into America.
Scandals trump kids every time
One more bit of context:
The Syrian migrants would join tens of thousands of others seeking asylum in Europe and the United States. Syria’s three-year-old conflict generated 56,351 asylum seekers in 2013, more than double the 2012 total of 25,232, according to a report released Friday by the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.
Volker Turk, the agency’s director of international protection, forecast that Syria’s refugee problem would worsen this year.
Syria, Russia and Afghanistan had the largest numbers of people fleeing their homelands to seek asylum last year, the U.N. agency said. Russia was the source of 39,779 asylum seekers, up from 22,650 in 2012. And 38,653 Afghans sought asylum last year, vs. 47,519 in 2012.
The 38 nations of Europe had 484,600 asylum claims in 2013, 32 percent higher than in 2012. The United States dealt with 88,360 asylum applications last year.
