Media Ignores Inflow Of 35,000 Migrant Youths
Photo Credit: Daily CallerThe government-facilitated inflow of Central American migrant children and youths into U.S. schools is at least 50 percent larger than has been reported by most establishment media outlets.
The media has copied President Barack Obama’s focus on 68,000 so-called “unaccompanied children,” but has mostly ignored the equally large inflow of 68,000 parents and children who crossed the border in so-called “family units.”
The media coverage has minimized the apparent impact of the 110,000 poorly educated migrant minors on Americans’ neighborhoods and schools. For example, the migrants’ arrival in the schools has shifted a large amount of resources away from poor and low-skilled American kids.
The skewed coverage was illustrated Oct. 10 when various media outlets reported the Oct. 9 claim by Homeland Secretary Jeh Johnson that 68,434 “unaccompanied children” have crossed the border since September 2013.
That 68,434 number was widely reported by the media, even though Johnson also admitted to the journalists that the inflow of “unaccompanied children” was matched by an equally large inflow of “family units.”
