The exodus of migrants walking through Mexico is, no doubt, a real story.
It’s just not the same story that much of the American news media is incredulously — at times hysterically — telling.
The “caravan crisis,” said an ABC News graphic, added with some classic false-equivalency in its chyron: “Both sides seizing on immigration as mid-term nears.”
An “army,” was how the Associated Press described the migrants in a much-criticized tweet that was later deleted.
It’s all a wonderful pre-midterms gift to President Trump, who on Monday declared those moving northward through Mexico a national emergency for the United States.
An “onslaught,” he called it — a word that was quickly picked up as a quote in headlines everywhere. In one tweet, he referred to an “assault on our country.”
Revving things up a notch, Trump floated the baseless idea that criminals and “unknown Middle Easterners” were among the group.
Fox News was there, as always, to help spread the word.

and being a good Nazi, told me we are being "invaded". He says 9,000 people are gunna bust down the border and take over...something. I asked him where they are coming from. He wouldn't answer (because he doesn't know). I told him to be a good German and stay glued to fox news and wait for them to tell him what to do.
