One of the great tragedies that often befall refugees happens while they are making their journey to what they hope to be their new home, or at least temporary sanctuary. Those making the trek on land can suffer violence at the hand of criminals as well as starvation or other calamities.
Those who try to make their journey via the sea faces those perils as well as the possibility of drowning. In fact, thousands tragically do drown each year in such attempts.
However technology has made it possible for “fake news” to be created by most anyone with some reasonable camera gear and the personnel to stage the hoax. This only adds to the problem of discerning what is true and what is contrived.
When a video is dumped on YouTube it might be very real, as we’ve seen citizens capture astonishing events and make the video and audio available to all. Then there are the hoaxes, some of which might be deliberately planted to push an agenda.

Garner sympathy from “tolerant” liberals.
It’s kind of like feeding rainbows to Unicorns.

Thanks for the incite! Too bad my sympathy is in such short supply for the left!
Staged why waste a good opportunity
Reminds me of the polar bear on the on the small thin ice pic. It conveniently came out just in time for Obamas Administration to allocate tens of millions to clean energy policies while doing everything possible to punish the oil and coal industry for giving their money to Republicans. Seems the left love to set a stage……
Just hand him a brick and promise him a handout if he makes it to America with the brick
