Immigration

I tuned into the first installment of Paola Ramos’ MSNBC “Field Report” special on Florida’s Hispanic vote with an open mind, hoping against hope for an avoidance of the usual tropes when discussing the factors that have led Hispanics to shift to the right in 2020. I regret to inform you, dear reader, that this was not the case.

The network evening news in April rediscovered Joe Biden’s crisis on the southern border, offering more coverage than they had in the previous five months combined. And all it took for this was a record-smashing high for border crossings, the most in Department of Homeland Security history. In April, there were 234,088, topping the record high from March of 2022, 221,303.

In the wake of the shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday, former Homeland Security official turned CNN analyst Juliette Kayyem appeared on Jake Tapper’s The Lead and demanded that President Biden suspend immigration enforcement in the area of the town. She would go on to scoff at Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s desire to have armed protection in schools and suggest…

As migrants continued to rush to the U.S. southern border ahead of a potential removal of Title 42, Univision anchor Ilia Calderón called for "comprehensive immigration reform" in a rare on-air editorial.

This week, a racist mass shooter massacred 10 people and wounded three others at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket. The shooter was a white supremacist; his hate-filled 180-page screed about why he had committed the shooting was replete with neo-Nazi sentiments. According to the shooter, he had to slaughter innocent black Americans in order to prevent the white population of the United States…

The mass murders by a shooter at a supermarket in Buffalo inspired the New York Times to push liberal politics. Not gun control, which would be ridiculous enough, but in an even more malign direction, accusing mainstream Republicans of aiding deadly racism like the killer and his manifesto on “replacement theory.” Times reporters Shane Goldmacher and Luke Broadwater’s smear appeared in Tuesday…

Replacement theory is the belief that a large influx of immigrants to a country will dilute the vote of the native electorate. Yet on The View this week, co-host Whoopi Goldberg flaunted her apparent ignorance as she’s repeatedly suggested the theory is about people being abducted and literally replaced by other people a la Invasion of the Body Snatchers. She’s even shouted demands to see…

After the despicable, racially motivated mass shooting in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York Times congressional correspondent Annie Karni kept the paper’s previous political smears against Republicans going in Tuesday’s paper against a ranking Republican in Congress: “Racist Attack Spotlights Elise Stefanik’s Echo of Replacement Theory.”  Again, mainstream Republican positions on border…

From their stance on guns, to opposition to illegal immigration, to alleged code words, the Tuesday cast of Inside Politics on CNN declared that white people need “to come to terms with” their role in the Buffalo mass shooting. It was also alleged that America does not denounce white supremacy enough.

On CNN's New Day, the notion that Democrats are motivated by political gain in their soft-on-immigration policies is branded a racist, garbage, conspiracy theory.

Tucker Carlson wasn't the only person the media aggressively attempted to smear into the Buffalo supermarket shooting. The hot Washington Post story on Monday morning slammed Rep. Elise Stefanik. The headline was "Stefanik echoed racist theory allegedly espoused by Buffalo suspect."

Nicholas Confessore was the author of the New York Times’ vast smear on Fox News host Tucker Carlson earlier this month, in which he crowned Carlson’s show “the most racist show in the history of cable news.” Confessore eagerly brought the same nasty energy to blame Carlson for Saturday’s mass killing at a Buffalo supermarket by a murderer who apparently targeted black victims, to the front of…

The current baby formula shortage crisis was predictable, notwithstanding President Biden’s claim about having to be a mind-reader to see it coming: A story warning of shortages appeared in the Wall Street Journal back in January. Also predictable: The New York Times circling the wagons to protect the Democratic president’s reputation from unfair, even “xenophobic” Republican attacks: "Though…

Univision anchor Luis Carlos Vélez recently broke with Hispanic media orthodoxy by saying that Hispanics are "more than the immigration issue". Although true, such statements are unheard of in an institution that depends on Hispanics being limited to the immigration issue.
