Time for Journalists to Stop with Selective Compassion, Cheap Emotive Thrills on Immigration
In a recent post [1], I decried the propensity of many mainstream reporters these days to go for the quick, cheap human interest/"live in fear" aspect of illegal immigration to the United States, rather than consider at length the full spectrum of what it means for our country, good, bad, and in between.
In that vein, my attention was caught by a recent Miami Herald [2] article: “Fearing deportation under Trump, these immigrants prepare to become untraceable.†It speaks to the possibility that aliens previously protected under a plethora of amnesty-like programs will again be at risk when those programs — including Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and the time-limited administrative amnesty, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) — expire.
