One thing you may have noticed watching the media coverage on Baby Bryan... Is an inconsistency in the story.
Some reporters tell the story of them being smuggled here in intimate detail... Others say they are here legally. One report they didn't owe money to anyone, the next station reports they owe thousands.
A story that factually varies from reporter to reporter is usually a sign someone got the story wrong. But in the case of Baby Bryan it's evidence of a poorly organized PR campaign, confused with the message they want to send.
I'll explain:
In a recent sit down interview with Bryan's parents I asked what was sure to be a difficult question. "Are you here legally?" Mom shakes her head no. Dad shakes his head yes. The interpreter (supplied by the family) says yes. I question the answer... "Yes? They are here legally?" With mom still shaking her head no... The interpreter than changes her answer... "Oh, no they are not."
My next natural question: "Do you realize you may be deported?" The translator poses my question to the parents in Portuguese. Little does she know I speak some Spanish and can make sense of some of what is being said because the languages are similar. I couldn't translate word for word their answer but I did hear them say to the effect: "I don't care if I am deported I just want to have my baby. Once I have my baby I don't care what happens." So what does the translator say? "They just want their baby back."
The dishonest answers continued on for another 10 minutes... With the parents trying to keep on message... "We just want our baby back."
It makes sense, protect the parents while trying to get the baby back. Unfortunately the different stories have created a sort of distrust of Baby Bryans parents. While they may be dishonest or disguising their answers to protect their residency in the US, it raises my suspicions they are hiding a lot more.
By the way the media is asking the question did these parents sell the baby as payment to get ot the United States. The parents say no. Reverend Israel Suarez, lead spokesperson (or propaganda leader... Depending who you ask) quickly ducked the question by asking a question... "What are you with the FBI? You should work for the FBI."
