We’ve seen “Little Amal” before — it’s not something you forget. Amal is a Syrian refugee, but CNN manages to tie her visit to New York City to the migrants who’ve been bused in from Texas:
She’s dodged protesters in Greece, met the pope at the Vatican and posed beside the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Now a 12-foot-tall puppet is bringing her message to the United States as she walks the streets of New York City.
Artists created Little Amal, whose name means hope in Arabic, to raise awareness about refugee children. Organizers of the theatrical project describe the puppet as a 10-year-old Syrian refugee searching for her uncle. She first made headlines as she trekked across Europe last year.
Now she’s drawing big crowds in the Big Apple at the same time as a growing number of asylum-seekers are arriving on buses from Texas.

Christopher (@christopher_981) ~ This is an old “doll.” It was originally introduced at the United Nations years ago. The View is recycling it for some reason.
Because it was in town.

Update:
It gets creepier!
Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) ~ With the puppet looming over the cast, Whoopi angers it by not having a cookie to feed it. Joy tries to appease it with a Tic Tac.

Infantile dingbats. ROTFLMAO at them!
