Time magazine has published a variety of covers about President Donald Trump, but few have struck a chord like the one released on Thursday.

Against a red backdrop, the image of a crying immigrant child — a cutout from a Getty Images picture from photographer John Moore that has come to represent the ongoing border crisis — is juxtaposed next to the president. Trump looks down at the child alongside the words, "Welcome to America."

The cover comes a day after Trump signed an executive order to stop his administration's policy of separating immigrant children from their families at the U.S. border. The policy has become a flashpoint across the U.S., drawing extensive media coverage and fundraisers for nonprofits dedicated to helping immigrant families.

Time's previous covers have portrayed Trump in a variety of ways, including one from earlier in June in which Trump saw himself in the mirror as a king. No other cover, however, has so plainly questioned the morality of a Trump policy in a visual context.

Many journalists have pointed out that the separation of immigrant families is a policy owned by the Trump administration. But with its new cover, Time puts the issue, quite literally, at Trump's feet.

Congrats Mr President on making the cover of Time again! He's on a roll! The wrong kind of roll. Not that he cares anyway. Time nails it again!

You mean confirmation that what the American people are seeing and hearing is indeed horribly real and they captured it in a nutshell. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and that one sure as hell is.

Well flip you a fish dude for pointing that out!

I think we need several more threads on this subject until people like you get the point!

The Time, too, is using an image of a child that has nothing to do with separating kids/"parents" at the border. Lap it up libs, because that's what dimwits like yourselves enjoy. :lol:

That story doesn't say they are together....her father is here in the US...not detained. Further, he hasn't spoken to either the mother or child...he is going on hear say...he doesn't know where they are...and if they are together.

Oh my gosh look at this a phony, made up cover to try and disparage President Trump.
Two unrelated photo's that have nothing to do with each other. This is what you call FAKE news.
Made up to push the left's agenda of destroy the Trump administration.
And look at who is just giddy over this.... The American people are fed up with this made up garbage.

This isn't about open boarders. This is about separating families and traumatizing children.

Oh it absolutely is, because the democrats wanted a return to catch and release and their reactions to last nights executive order prove it

Question: since you know that some (many?) of these children are unaccompanied and then get abused by the adults who happen to find them, why would you want them to stay together in detention with someone who might not be their parent?

Catch and release worked...more than 90% were showing up for court

While true, that's misleading. What changed in the Obama years was that many of those who showed up to their court hearings were allowed to stay, around 68% in 2015.

Now take a look at the failure to appear rate when deportation orders were higher:

We'd be fools to let these people go.

And just a note for those who think that Obama actually enforced immigration law:

How is this picture 'confirmation' of that? All this confirms is that Time Magazine has jumped on the emotional blackmail bandwagon. But I am sure they thank you for posting this. You have likely doubled the number of people who have seen their cover to double digits.

It sounds like somebody needs to figure out how to enforce boarder security WITHOUT SEPARATING FAMILIES. Why can't your party come up with something?
