CBS Portrays Human Smugglers As Humanitarians In Misguided Border Coverage

In a misguided attempt to find an edgy new angle on the border crisis, CBS aired a documentary segment Sunday that casts a sympathetic light on a pair of coyotes, or human smugglers, in Panama.

Under the headline, “The human coyotes helping migrants survive Central America’s grueling Darien Gap jungle,” CBS portrays two men, Gonzalez Jimenez and his smuggling partner Augustin, as humanitarians just trying to help get migrants safely through a dangerous stretch of jungle:

Emerson Gonzalez Jimenez said he typically charges $700 to get people safely from Capurgana, Colombia, to Bajo Chiquito, Panama. He said he sometimes makes exceptions and lowers the cost, especially if he encounters migrants who were abandoned by their group. “Many get lost. They lose the path,” said Gonzalez Jimenez. “I helped a lot of people, particularly women with children,” he said. “Because many have passed through here and not made it.”

Viewers must take Mr. Gonzalez Jimenez at his word: there are no women and children featured in the CBS segment, and in fact no migrants at all who are interviewed on camera.

Democrats have even gone so far as to suggest that the recent mass releases of migrant families in El Paso and the Rio Grande Valley by Immigration and Customs Enforcement is a staged affair, designed to make the situation appear worse than it really is.

I don’t care anymore ..NO ONE is making an effort to STOP THE INSANITY! Even the churches have lost their freakin minds providing free hotels and bus rides to the invader’s chosen destinations....I wish you guys could see what us on the border are seeing...HORDES AND HORDES of invaders demanding enterance and freebies!! Because of health problems I have decided to turn a blind eye and pretend there is not a problem in this country with invaders! My sanity demands this!

“Misguided” isn't even remotely accurate. The media is in an active conspiracy to lie, obfuscate, and otherwise run interference for human traffickers, and force feed it to a gullible public.

I guess CBS would portray Slave Ships as no-frills cruise ships.
