CNN finally admits there’s a crisis at the border!

by The Right Scoop

It’s amazing just how much it’s taken for CNN to finally do a decent job discussing the border.

Decent, I said. Not amazing.

Last night CNN’s Chris Cuomo went on location in Hidalgo, Texas to show his viewers what is really going on there. He even interviewed a border patrol agent. For one of the first times CNN viewers began to get a sense of the crisis that exists there that CNN had been denying all year long:

Here’s more, via Free Beacon:

CNN host Chris Cuomo on Monday night said there was a border crisis, acknowledging that there have been more border crossings in the last month than there have been during any month in the last decade.

Cuomo hosted his show, Cuomo Prime Time, from the U.S.-Mexico border in Hidalgo, Texas, where he talked about how U.S. immigration law was negatively affecting the role of border agents and forcing them to free apprehended illegal aliens into American communities.

“The numbers tell you the story. There are believed to be more crossings in just the last month here than any month in over a decade,” Cuomo said. “As I sad, here in Hidalgo, Texas in the Rio Grande Valley, this is the hot spot. Right behind us is Mexico. It’s actually this weird area where Mexico is actually north of Texas, the way the land bends around. The authorities say they have never faced the combination of threats, challenges, and federal inaction that they are facing right now.”

Of course it wouldn’t be CNN without taking a swipe at Trump.

But FB also notes that he took a veiled jab at Pelosi too:

Cuomo then hit President Trump and said that he should be doing more than just cutting funds to the countries involved in illegal immigration and closing the southern border before taking a thinly veiled shot at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) for saying,” It’s certainly not immoral to build barriers where they are needed.” Pelosi said back in December that Democrats were not going to fund Trump’s “immoral” border wall.

Cuomo also interviewed Deputy Chief Patrol Agent Raul Ortiz and he explained just how bad it’s gotten there.

Watch the video for more on that.

Cuomo even asked why Democrats “why the hell are you so quiet” when talking about this with Don Lemon.

I’m going to also make this an open thread for those of you who’d like one. In light of that, here’s a video that I’ve been wanting a reason to post all day long and I’m sure you’ll love:
