The father of the Honduran girl who became the face of the family separation crisis has revealed that he still has not been in touch with his wife or daughter but was happy to learn they are safe.
Well, I’m sure since someone told him that, it’s all fine.

Now, Hernandez says that his wife and daughter were never separated by Border Patrol agents and that they remain together.

Hernandez also told the Daily Mail that he did not support his wife Sandra’s decision to leave their home and travel through dangerous conditions to seek political asylum in the U.S.: “I didn’t support it. I asked her, why? Why would she want to put our little girl through that? But it was her decision at the end of the day.

“I don’t have any resentment for my wife, but I do think it was irresponsible of her to take the baby with her in her arms because we don’t know what could happen,” he told the Daily Mail.

He said she had talked about going to the United States for a “better future” but she did not say she had made the decision to take the 1,800-mile trip — paying a “coyote” smuggler $6,000 to take them.

When Sandra left on her journey with Yanela, she left Hernandez behind with three other children — Wesly (14), Cindy (11), and Brianna (6).

Though he said she had planned to apply for political asylum, Hernandez did not mention any political persecution that might have justified the claim.

He also said that he was employed: “I thank God that I have a good job here.”
So it seems the mother and daughter were never separated. They were picked up crossing the Rio Grande, so did not attempt to properly apply for asylum. On top of that they don't even come close to asylum requirements.

:whistle:
So... all the kids separated from their parents aren't really suffering, and this crisis is a big nothingburger, right? That's the takeaway?

Oh, and as a reminder:
The House rejected a hard-line immigration bill on Thursday and Republican leaders delayed a vote on a compromise measure that seemed destined to fail, then delayed it again, in the latest show of their party’s disarray over immigration.

The compromise, a broad immigration overhaul negotiated by moderate and conservative Republicans, was supposed to be voted on early Thursday evening. It would provide a path to citizenship for young unauthorized immigrants while keeping migrant families together at the border, in addition to funding President Trump’s border wall.

But with its prospects seeming dim, Republican leaders pushed the vote to Friday and huddled with their members in a last-ditch effort to stave off what would have been an embarrassing defeat. Then they delayed the vote again, to next week, as lawmakers discussed making additions to the legislation.

I am uncertain of your point, but I think due to the bolded words, you are saying that the Democrats are at fault? But I could be misreading 😁

The father of the Honduran girl who became the face of the family separation crisis has revealed that he still has not been in touch with his wife or daughter but was happy to learn they are safe.

Denis Javier Varela Hernandez, 32, said that he had not heard from his wife Sandra, 32, who was with his two-year-old daughter Yanela Denise, for nearly three weeks until he saw the image of them being apprehended in Texas.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Hernandez, who lives in Puerto Cortes, Honduras, says that he was told yesterday that his wife and child are being detained at a family residential center in Texas but are together and are doing 'fine.'
Yeah. Of course he is being told they are fine. Of course they're probably back together after worldwide condemnation (but he still can't speak with his daughter). What is your point?

Remember the big, absurd to do about FEMA camps and Jade Helm? Well, this mom and daughter are actually locked in one but hey, it's pretty good accommodations for that kind of person, right?

It's simple math, man. If one person or group is doing something contrary, then obviously that means the majority are doing that same thing. We're just not hearing about it because of the fake news media.

Oh, and of course, that's a Daily Mail link:
moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy.
...
Notes: The Daily Mail is a British daily middle-market tabloid newspaper owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust and published in London. Has a strong conservative bias and has a poor track record with fact checkers.

Only if she pressed sexual harrasment charges, otherwise, imo, no.

Because they're not "our kids", they don't deserve humane treatment. Deplorable is far too kind a word for these people.

What's more likely:

There is a gigantic conspiracy orchestrated among all major media outlets (including foreign) to agree on the same fake news stories to advance a liberal agenda. In addition, a majority of the American people have bought into this narrative, and have been foolishly duped into believing this false narrative. Independent whistleblowers from within have also joined in on this conspiracy, coordinating efforts to also dole out the same information to perpetuate this grand plan.

or.....

You're wrong.

Certainly. I had sexual harassment training that far back and one of the things mentioned that was proscribed was having romantic involvement with someone that directly worked for you. It's an abuse of power because you can never be sure the relationship is consensual. I remember an exec at a major company that did something very similar in the same time frame and he was canned. i also remember that as being of the arguments at the time.
“The C.E.O. of a corporation wouldn’t have had time to pack up his briefcase before he was fired for this,” says Barbara Ledeen, executive director for policy at the Independent Women’s Forum, the Washington-based group that has achieved a certain cachet for its condemnations of traditional feminism.

I wasn't condoning his analogy but I was supporting his conclusion, because the age of the person involved was irrelevant to a certain extent.

Rip just makes crap up when he runs out of rebuttals. It’s a Trumpy’s thing.
Regardless of whether you was a teenager or not, Rip is right. If Clinton had been CEO of any Fortune 500 company in the US, he would have been fired. That's not to say Republicans haven't been hypocritical about supporting Trump while claiming to be the party of "family values", but that's not relevant to what happened here.
Rip was trying to make it sound like Clinton took advantage of a child. And I think you know that.
Please check your reading comprehension, I'll quote myself for you and bold it:
Regardless of whether she was a teenager or not, Rip is right.
I wasn't condoning his analogy but I was supporting his conclusion, because the age of the person involved was irrelevant to a certain extent.

In debate there is a concept of clash. IE, your arguments need to somehow directly impact/clash with the other side. Whataboutism is not any such thing, it's diversionary tactic to swap out the debate at hand for a different one more suited to the favored ax to grind.

Snopes article on the little girl in the Time picture covers things pretty well.

Mostly it involves internetizens on both sides of the aisle losing their minds while most reputable media never claimed she was separated with many articles specifically mentioning she was never separated from her mom.
