Immigration

Out of nowhere, non-politician Donald Trump has shot to the top of the polls by denouncing America's widely unpopular immigration policies. All those high-priced campaign consultants are standing around scratching their heads. Americans can see they're being forced to subsidize people who are being brought in only to outvote them, provide cheap labor and change our culture. All the donor money in…

NBC and ABC on Thursday morning ignored the latest example of an illegal immigrant, who could have been detained, going on a crime spree. However, the networks both found time to cover the indictment of a Cincinnati cop for murder. Only CBS This Morning highlighted the disturbing rampage of Juan Emmanuel Razo. Gayle King explained, "...Another illegal from Mexico immigrant faces murder charges in…

New York Times national reporter Jackie Calmes spent a semester at the Shorenstein Center at Harvard University studying "conservative media," and this week issued an exhaustive 16,000-word report with the oh-so-objective title, "'They Don't Give a Damn about Governing' -- Conservative Media’s Influence on the Republican Party," blaming the "far right" for killing the moderate, pragmatic GOP,…

Confrontations between unauthorized immigrant protesters and presidential candidates are usually gold to the national Spanish-language networks. They typically serve to advance this media segment’s favored immigration narrative, as well as depict immigration dissidents as “anti-immigrant” or “insensitive.” 

Las confrontaciones de inmigrantes no-autorizados, manifestándose contra candidatos presidenciales, son como oro para las cadenas hispanoparlantes. Estas, típicamente sirven para avanzar la narrativa preferida por estos medios sobre inmigración, así como también para pintar a los disidentes sobre inmigración como “antiinmigrantes” o “insensibles.” 

La postura del precandidato presidencial Rick Santorum en favor de los trabajadores estadounidenses le ha valido un ataque frontal en MundoFox. Tras el anuncio de campaña de Santorum, MundoFox dedicó un segmento completo de su noticiero nacional a un análisis de la posición de Santorum en polí­tica migratoria en relación con empleos, salarios y el mercado laboral.

Presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s stand in favor of the American worker has earned him a direct attack on MundoFox. Following Santorum’s campaign announcement, MundoFox dedicated a full segment of its national newscast to an analysis of Santorum’s position on the relation between U.S. immigration policy, jobs and salaries in the labor market.

Last night on The Kelly File, Megyn Kelly slammed the Obama Administration for refusing to “take seriously” those who have raised concerns about illegal immigration and sanctuary cities. The Fox News personality explained: “That’s the message 24 hours after a half dozen witnesses went before Congress to testify about this issue. Many were families who lost loved ones at the hands of illegal…

Appearing as a guest on Wednesday's New Day on CNN, Republican Rep. Bob Goodlatte disputed anchor Chris Cuomo's assertion that "there have been more deportations under the Obama administration than ever,"  as the Virginia Republican charged that the administration has inflated its deportation numbers by counting illegals caught at the border, in contrast with the Bush administration which did not…

In yet another example of bias by omission, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC all refused to cover on Tuesday night a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing from hours earlier devoted to sanctuary cities and murders committed by illegal immigrants who benefitted from the policy. As it often does, FNC’s Special Report was there to pick up the pieces left by their network equivalents with a full…

If calling constituents concerned about illegal immigration "crazies" is a term of endearment, what would be an insult?   On today's Morning Joe, John McCain refused to apologize to the thousands of Arizonans attending a Trump rally that McCain called "crazies." According to McCain, "crazies" is a "term of endearment" and a "term of affection."

Después de despacharse por semanas con Donald Trump, la policía de pensamiento parece estar apuntando a la campaña de Cruz. MundoFox dedicó un reportaje completo a un manifestación orquestada por una coalición de organizaciones latinas en frente a las oficinas de Robert Mercer, en Nueva York, quien es el principal patrocinador del candidato presidencial Ted Cruz.

Historian Rick Perlstein, the author of three books (so far) on American movement conservatism from the mid-‘50s through the mid-‘70s, believes, in essence, that conservatives are tribalists whose central task is to promote hatred against other tribes. According to Perlstein, two recent news stories serve to illuminate that process, which, he suggests, involves an almost scientific-sounding…

Al informar sobre un reciente sondeo de Rasmussen Reports que indica que el 62% de los americanos desaprueban la política de ciudades santuario, Telemundo, la segunda cadena hispanoparlante del país, brindó una cobertura distorsionada en favor de mantener la problemática política.
