Mom of crying toddler in picture was previously deported

Newsbusters:
The narratives surrounding the 2-year-old girl photographed crying at the U.S.-Mexico border have imploded so completely that it couldn't possibly get more embarrassing, right? Wrong. A later segment of CBS's This Morning revealed that young Yanela Denise Hernandez's mother, Sandra Sanchez, was deported in 2013.

This new information apparently surfaced shortly after This Morning's 7:30 a.m. Friday report covered by Kyle Drennan at NewsBusters.

Even though I separately noted yesterday that Getty Images photographer John Moore has been careful in describing his photo at his Instagram posts, Drennan crucially noted that he is "okay" with how it being used to manipulate the public's emotions, because he was able to "make people feel."

David Begnaud's next This Morning report disclosed the deportation. The video snippet below is the final minute from the four-minute segment found here....
...

It's not surprising that Sandra Sanchez isn't talking. According to her husband in a Thursday UK Daily Mail interview, she hasn't spoken with him or her other three children since she left without even saying goodbye a month ago.

Begnaud failed to mention the husband and children Sandra Sanchez left behind in both his early and later reports. He also didn't note the husband's claim that she paid a "coyote" $6,000 for her journey.

Given the collection of facts and circumstances, we can now understand why Sandra Sanchez didn't go to a designated port of entry to claim asylum status. That she allegedly used a "coyote" would also indicate that she had no intention of seeking asylum unless caught, and was instead trying to enter the U.S undetected.

There is more.

The photographer and those who have used his misleading photo are further proof of the dishonesty of the media on the border story.   Sanchez is unlikely to get asylum, and she could be jailed for a felony of illegally returning to the US after deportation.
