The tragic image of a drowned father and child washed ashore on the Rio Grande is being used as easy ammunition against Donald Trump - but where was the outpouring of grief when migrants were dying under the Obama administration?
Obama boasted in 2011 that the number of border patrol agents had more than doubled since 2004 - proud that he had continued the increases that had begun under the Bush administration.
A clip of a Trump administration lawyer arguing that migrant children did not need soap and toothpaste to be "Safe and sanitary" went viral last week.
A 2015 lawsuit described "Inhumane" conditions in border detention facilities under Obama.
There were no deaths of children in Customs and Border Protection custody under Obama - and there have been six under the Trump administration, so it is fair to argue, that with the implementation of some more extreme anti-asylum policies and perhaps an even greater lack of caring, Trump has taken an already dysfunctional, inhumane and under-funded system - and simply made it worse.
See these pictures? They're not from the Trump administration, they're from the Obama administration.
Regime-change activists within the mainstream media commentariat had the audacity to use that image to call for more Western bombing - so, seeing some of the same crowd using the image of Valeria Martinez to frame Trump as uniquely evil in the history of the US presidency is no big surprise.
