Mainstream media outlets are scraping the bottom of the barrel in their attempts to portray the Trump administration’s enforcement of the Immigration and Nationality Act as racist and immoral. The corporate newspapers and the “Big News” online outlets are awash in sob stories about migrants who are now facing deportation because they broke American laws.
Every one of these articles suffers from two common flaws: They deliberately omit key facts and intentionally misrepresent the state of U.S. immigration law to create the impression that foreign lawbreakers are hapless victims of an unjust system.
