Immigration

The nation reels over images of Venezuelan migrants beating up on New York cops in Times Square, and is disgusted to discover that the dangerous transnational criminal gang known as Tren de Aragua has established beachheads in New York, Miami and Chicago. Reasonable people might believe that it is time, perhaps, to accelerate deportation of these criminal elements back to Venezuela. But did…

On Thursday, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today tried to have their cake and eat it too, as they praised President Biden for finally taking executive action to secure the U.S.’s southern border, while also whining that Republicans forced him to do it. It was a seminar executive action they condemned former President Trump for enacting.

NBC’s Seth Meyers lamented on the Wednesday edition of Late Night that the Democratic Party is not further to the left on immigration, as he demanded the party stop “parroting GOP talking points” on the issue.

It is a commonly accepted axiom that in politics the buck stops with the president or, if you like, his cabinet, but for PolitiFact applying this standard to the border and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is “false.” At the same time, PolitiFact will go to great lengths to insist that gender is something completely different from sex.

According to NBC Late Night host Seth Meyers, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes is his most frequent guest and the two joined forces again on Tuesday to laugh at Republican misfortunes on the first vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas that failed, while labeling the second one “terrible” and “one of the most… shocking abuses of procedure I’ve seen.”

ABC's World News Tonight continues to distinguish itself as the main purveyor of Biden talking points among the national network evening newscasts. Tonight’s embarrassment of a report on Ukraine, the border, and reaction to former President Donald Trump’s remarks regarding NATO might as well have been read to us from behind the lectern in the Brady Room.

This past week, there was a stark contrast between CNN and Fox morning shows in their coverage of hate crimes allegedly inspired by the Israel-Hamas war as CNN used the stabbing of a Palestinian American man in Austin to push for a ceasefire while Fox highlighted a Palestinian illegal alien who beat a Jewish homeowner in New York.

On CNN’s State of the Union, host Jake Tapper tried to spin the dead border deal by telling U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) that asylum is somehow not a pathway to citizenship. And promptly got taken to school thereafter.

There were still more than 10 months to go, but John Avlon had the early lead in the race for The Year's Most Inapt Analogy. Predictably, on Wednesday, CNN This Morning raked the House Republicans over the coals for their failure to get the necessary votes to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, or pass a stand-alone Israel aid bill

ESPN First Take host Stephen A. Smith has had enough of the leftist economic policies exacerbating Americans’ struggles to stay afloat amidst high prices and an unsustainable cost of living crisis.

On MSNBC's Way Too Early, Mike Barnicle advises Biden that to "change the narrative" on the border, and "negate Republican strength" on the issue, he should go to the border and "sign something," and give more personnel to the Border Patrol.

As a controversial border security bill is held up in Congress, President Joe Biden is claiming he’s done all he can to keep the southern border secure, blaming Trump and Republicans in Congress for border woes. Yet even liberally slanted Politifact noted Biden ended President Trump’s "Remain in Mexico" program that required some asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while awaiting their…

After the vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas failed, host of CBS’s The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, and NBC’s Late Night host, Seth Meyers, took the time on Wednesday to celebrate and hail the “heroic return” and “dramatic” return of Democratic Rep. Al Green from the hospital that doomed the vote.

With the border deal dead, it’s all over but the shouting. And by shouting, we mean ABC News continuing to carry the Biden administration’s water in an update that practically reads like it came out of the White House press shop.
