A Telemundo report on the chaos at the southern border quickly became a hit piece against South Texas authorities for declaring “an emergency due to invasion of immigrants, For those seeking the American Dream, this is quite a powerful phrase”.
Maricruz Gutierrez, reporter, tried to make illegal entry into America a symbol of the American Dream. However, Maricruz Gutierrez’s report was not able to hide the devastating effects that migrant invasion has on people living near the border.
Watch Gutierrez attempting to defend the indefensible, and failing: “The leaders accused the federal government of not doing its job This is at a time where the border patrol has broken records in apprehending migrants.”; yes, Telemundo, exactly 239,000 in May alone:
MARICRUZ GUTIERREZ : Texas Governor will support the counties which declared an invading emergency. Greg Abbott. The situation that they call open borders is a result of President Joe Biden’s government. The claim is that property loss and security have been suffered by Texas residents as well as merchants.
DON MCLAUGHIN – MAYOR OF VALDE: That’s it.
GUTIÉRREZ: The mayor of Uvalde defines it as a nightmare because they have to constantly deal with coyotes who traffic in people. They accused the federal government not performing its duties at a moment when there are so many migrants being apprehended and deported by border patrol.
…
They claim they want to defend the United States of America and Texas while migrants are only looking for opportunities.
“They are from south Texas and claim to want the United States and Texas protected, while immigrants only long for an opportunity..” In truth, it´s the residents of the counties who beg for an opportunity to live without the constant fear of, as Gutierrez mentions, suffering property damage, threats to personal safety, dealing with human trafficking (and drug trafficking, gangs and prostitution, to name a few more).
Or, being free from the nightmares lived by the already distressed residents of Uvalde, Texas, addressed during the report: “The mayor of Uvalde defines it as a nightmare because they have to constantly Coyotes trafficking in people are a problem..”
Ironically, it was Gutierrez who voiced the actual solution to the problem: “Authorities say migrants must cross through the proper paths in order to have things under control.”
Bingo, Telemundo: The same “proper paths” followed by millions upon millions of Hispanic immigrants, who did You have the opportunity to help your American Dream become a reality: follow the legal pathway.
