Immigration

PBS doesn't care how liberal they sound when their White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor goes on the hot-talk programs on MSNBC and launches into how "cruelty was the point" of President Trump's immigration policies, "to try to torture immigrants at the border." On Tuesday's Deadline: White House, host Nicolle Wallace could only agree: "Trump turned human beings into portable…

​Las cadenas hispanas de la nación dedican gran cantidad de tiempo en el aire a impulsar la llamada reforma migratoria Biden-Harris, pero optaron por ocultar de su audiencia un sorprendente desarrollo: la reapertura de los centros de detención para niños migrantes en Carrizo Springs, Texas.

The Latino nets devote massive amounts of air time to push for the so-called Biden-Harris immigration reform, but have hidden one startling development from their viewers: the reopening of detention facilities for migrant children at Carrizo Springs, Texas.

Tuesday’s White House press briefing was perhaps Press Secretary Jen Psaki’s most combative one yet, facing tough questions on China, coronavirus relief, illegal immigration, Israel, and schools but also softballs on topics like COVID and impeachment. And on an equally important note, not a single reporter stepped up and asked Psaki about the embarrassing Daily Beast report that her team had…

For the hundreds of undocumented immigrants deported this past week, it must have been quite the shock to not see activists, television camera crews and (crying) politicians bidding them farewell.

Spanish-language media have, to varying degrees, acclaimed Team Biden’s most overt pander to Hispanics yet- the prominent placement of a bronze bust of César Chávez within the Oval Office- as a historic event of great significance. And in enabling this blatant pander, they have also abetted a historical whitewash of Chavez’ mixed legacy. 

In 1980, singer Neil Diamond recorded a song that celebrated American immigration, first in the early 1900s and then more recently. The song included this chorus: "On the boats and on the planes / They're coming to America / Never looking back again / They're coming to America." The song makes no distinction between the legal and orderly immigration of the early 20th century and the chaotic…

Not even a full day had gone by in President Joe Biden’s administration, and Big Tech had already taken to Twitter to do public relations for his leftist agenda.

In a preview of what Spanish-language news coverage of the Biden Administration will look like for the next four years, the networks focused their coverage of the Biden inaugural on what is most critically important to business: a renewed open push for comprehensive immigration reform.

On Monday, the broadcast networks ignored how a caravan of Honduran migrants fought with Guatemala police as they stormed their way into the country illegally. NBC Nightly News actually noted the existence of the caravan but intentionally failed to mention the violent broader crossing. Well, NBC doubled down on their downplaying on Tuesday as they again simply noted the caravan before…

El presentador de Univisión Jorge Ramos dio el extraordinario paso de aconsejar a las caravanas procedentes de Centroamérica que la frontera de Estados Unidos no está abierta, al menos todavía; y lo hizo para tratar de salvar el apoyo público al masivo proyecto de ley de inmigración de Joe Biden, el cual se anticipa que se anuncie poco después de su inauguración.
