IT’S (D)IFFERENT: The Media’s Strange New Interest in Migrant Children

It is evident, with a Republican administration in power and immigration enforcement in the news, that the Elitist Media have developed a sudden interest in the plight of migrant children. This stands in stark contrast to the realities of the four years preceding.
