Telemundo Changes Tune on Border Crisis
By MRC Latino Staff | February 14, 2019 4:51 PM EST

Barely a month ago, Telemundo and NBC anchor José Díaz-Balart was harrumphingly telling his viewers that President Trump was all wrong about there being an illegal immigration crisis on the U.S. southern border. But now the anchorman has been forced to eat his words.

The about face came after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security released new numbers showing that between October 1, 2018 and January 31, 2019 Border Patrol agents arrested over 200,000 people who entered the United States unlawfully, an 84% increase compared to the 109,000 arrests during the same period the previous year.

Upon reporting the latest statistics, Telemundo’s top anchorman even grudgingly admits that the crisis level of illegal border crossings “somehow highlights the immigration policies of President Donald Trump.”
