Time magazine is getting a lot of attention for its provocative new cover that shows President Donald Trump looking down at a frightened child asylum-seeker.

Its also provoking people to ask the magazine to compensate the 2-year-old Honduran asylum-seeker as they would a professional model.

The names of the toddler and her mother have not been released. They crossed into the United States from Mexico last week and were apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and taken to a processing center.

A photo of the girl taken by Getty Images photographer John Moore has gone viral, which is why Time magazine remixed it for the cover.

Since the photo of the girl might be considered news, Time isnt legally obligated to pay a modeling fee to the girl.

However, some people think they should be morally obligated.

Moore initially expressed support to the idea by apparently retweeting Levines post, though the retweet no longer appears on his feed. He didnt immediately to respond to HuffPosts inquiry on the matter.

The idea of compensating the girl came from photographer John Ehrenfeld , who initially considered raising money for the girl via a GoFundMe campaign.

Then I thought, wouldnt it be great if the girl could be paid by Time. I dont know, but I think they can afford it, he told Raw Story . Ehrenfeld said that any money paid to the girl by Time could pay for legal fees or even be used for her education.

My life would be Id be the happiest person in the world if she could go to college because of this, Ehrenfeld said.

Time magazine did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
