A month ago, the mainstream media was filled with stories about the so called caravans and about how these groups 1) were mostly women and children, 2) contained no criminals, 3) were people seeking asylum to escape from persecution in Honduras and Nicaragua, and 4) were unlikely to get to the USA for many months. It is now undeniable that these were all lies. Even MSNBC is reporting that the caravans are mostly composed of young men who are coming to find work, not to escape persecution. There have been about 500 different gang members and other criminals including human traffickers who have been identified and/or arrested out of the caravans. And, as we all know, the caravans are now at the border launching attacks on the border patrol while trying to push down the border fence and enter the USA illegally. So the question arises: will the lies in the media now end?
Sadly, the answer seems to be a resounding NO! When the mob of young men tried to break through into the USA while attacking the border patrol with rocks and other projectiles, the media coverage focused on a woman and her child who were fleeing the scene. To the media, the story was this poor family, not the attack by the young thugs on the US border patrol. But why was the woman there in the first place? And why did she have her child with her? If she really wanted to apply for asylum, she could just go to the border crossing and sign up on the waiting list to get an interview in the next few weeks. Remember, this woman supposedly just spent two months walking to the USA from Central America. What's the big deal about waiting for another week or two to follow the legal procedure? Why would she put her child at risk to avoid the legal requirements of the very country to which she was seeking entry? Isn't the answer clearly because her presence was a set up for the media?
It's time for the lies to end. We could easily have an immigration policy that made sense, but the left just doesn't want that. They want a political issue. It was what they wanted when they controlled the House, the Senate and the presidency under Obama but did nothing on immigration. It remains what they want today.
