CBS Reporter Shocked as Border Agent Calls Illegal Crossings a ‘Crisis’

Newsbusters: While many people in the mainstream media have said they do not consider the situation at the border between the United States and Mexico a serious problem, one reporter with CBS News was surprised to hear an agent of the Border Patrol actually refer to the setting as a “crisis.”

During an interview with Fernando Grijalva, correspondent Mireya Villarreal was taken aback when the agent called the setting “the worst crisis I’ve ever seen.”

“You actually use that word, ‘crisis,’” Villarreal stated.

Grijalva simply responded: “Yes.”

CBS Evening News anchor Jeff Glor introduced the report by stating: “This was a busy day at the Arizona border” and claiming that the correspondent “shows us the challenges agents face even when there is a barrier.”

Villarreal began with a video of dozens of people sitting near the border as she said: “This group is part of 180 migrants apprehended this morning by Arizona agents.”

She then noted that the agent “says this area has become a hotbed for illegal crossings.”

“I’ve seen six different presidents in the time that I’ve been with the Border Patrol,” Grijalva stated, “and this is the worst crisis that I’ve seen.”  more here

  1. How far away from reality does a person have to be to get a job as a journalist?

    At least when Claude Rains said “I’m shocked” in Casablanca, the audience knew he didn’t mean it.

    Claude Rains wasn’t in “Casablanca”. There was never even a movie called “Casablanca”! And I’m not going to show you the evidence that proves it. So that proves it never happened.

  3. ^^^ Sumbody’s from a nuther planet…

    “There are a lot of people on the [reservation] that don’t want a border wall. How do you wrestle with that?”
    The answer should be “we protect them too”
