Photo by @kirstenluce. In this photo from 2014, a young mother from Honduras holds her sleeping 18-month old son as she and others turn themselves in to Border agents after crossing the Rio Grande river into Texas.

President Trump’s controversial new policies have resulted in thousands of children being separated from their parents upon arrival.

Although there are no simple answers here, I can assure you that no young mother would leave home and carry a baby on an arduous journey unless they are truly desperate.

Background info:
This photo was taken in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, which is the busiest corridor for migration in the United States. The vast majority of arrivals hail from Central America.
It’s worth noting that this particular stretch of the border, near Anzalduas Park, already has a border wall (which is barely visible in the distance of this photo). Since it is structurally impossible to construct a wall in the actual river, the border wall is several hundred meters north of the actual border. This wall does NOT stop migrants from stepping foot on American soil and turning themselves in to authorities to request asylum.
