On 8/17/21, Fox reported on the amount of coverage given by the three networks to the crisis at the southern border. During July, NBC Nightly News spent all of 3 minutes and 43 seconds on it. Which definitely beat ABC's World News Tonight of 37 seconds. And last was the CBS Evening News which spent zero seconds on the border. Fox, however, has been showing what has been happening at the border for months. Now, some of the mainstream media have awakened to the issue. Or perhaps they have been embarrassed by their ignoring the issue.
The Del Rio crossing in Texas has been much in the news. At one point an estimated 15,000 "migrants" (aka illegal aliens) were living on the US side in what can only be described as a shanty town. Texas Governor Greg Abbott asked President Biden for a federal disaster declaration. I am unaware of the President replying. 25 Republican Governors have requested a meeting with Biden in order to address the border crisis, and have been joined by one Democrat Governor.
There was a widely reported news story of Border Patrol agents on horseback allegedly using whips on "migrants." They had no whips. So the story changed to whipping the "migrants" with the reins. VP Harris, put in charge of the border by Biden, said this: "What I saw depicted, those individuals on horseback treating human beings the way they were was horrible. I fully support what is happening right now, which is a thorough investigation into what is going on there. But human beings should never be treated that way, and I'm deeply troubled by it."
That's a relief. You now what Harris is not deeply troubled by? Human smuggling. Drug smuggling. Cartels getting enriched. People being allowed to enter our country when they may have Covid. Or other diseases. Or may be criminals. Or gang members. Or terrorists. Current estimates are that 1.3 million people have entered illegally. We do not know who they are. But most are being given free access to go anywhere in the country. Press Secretary Jen Psaki said they have no intention of staying for a long period of time. Right. They have traveled hundreds if not thousands of miles, from all over the globe, just so that they can return home in a few days.
Here's more from Harris: "People want to stay home. They don't want to leave home. But they leave when they cannot satisfy their basic needs." As I recall, during the campaign Biden said the country could easily accommodate another couple million people. Well by year's end it is likely that 2 million illegal aliens will have entered the country.
Here is US Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA): "What we witnessed (Mounted Border Patrol Agents) takes us back hundreds of years. What we witnessed was worse than what we witnessed in slavery - cowboys with their reins, again, whipping black people."
What I'm witnessing is one moron after the next. Biden, who not only refuses to enforce the law, but by executive order on his first day in office, ended all of President Trump's border protection policies. I'm witnessing a VP who, as with her boss, has no respect for the law nor for US sovereignty. I'm witnessing a Press Secretary perfectly willing to lie in order to support Biden's open border policy. As for Maxine Waters - doesn't everyone know by now what a moron she is.
But Mike, don't you have any sympathy/empathy for these "migrants?" I do. But it is completely irrelevant. If having sympathy/empathy is the only determining factor as to who gets into our country, then come on in world. But understand that you no longer have a sovereign nation. The first, and most important, job of a president is to protect the American people. But not for these Democrats. When asked why they are coming now, many said that Biden invited them. And he promised "free" food and housing. Free for them, but not for the American taxpayer. This is Biden and Harris looking out for you.
