Show me the bodies.
The only fact I see is that its a MSM Headline on tv news. Everything else is subject to your level of education. If a tree falls in the woods will CNN be there? Only if they are being paid to promote how dangerous trees have become and they all have to be cut down. Anyone owning a tree is a criminal. This is our world...2018 Photos of the bodies are not proof... Those Honduran migrants should head right over to CROWDS ON DEMAND. Theyre looking for people with experience.
