From 'no crisis' to 'breaking point': Mainstream media changes its tune on border crisis amid illegal immigration surge
Fast forward, the same media outlets are now scrambling to accurately portray the border crisis, no longer fearing to quote top officials and their data, and declare that the southern border is at a “breaking point” amid a surge in the number of illegal immigrant crossings.
“The U.S. Immigration System May Have Reached a Breaking Point,” a New York Timesstory read Wednesday, detailing the unprecedented problems at the border.
“It was never like this before,” the article states. “The migrants come now in the middle of the night or in the bright light of day. Men and women arrive by the hundreds, caked with dirt, with teens and toddlers in tow.”
The story claims that a “breaking point” has been reached in America’s immigration system, which is no longer able to cope with the unseen levels of illegal immigration.
“The country is now unable to provide either the necessary humanitarian relief for desperate migrants or even basic controls on the number and nature of who is entering the United States,” the story notes.

The Post caught up with the Times' first report, admitting the crisis at the border only about three weeks later, printing an article titled “U.S. has hit ‘breaking point’ at border amid immigration surge, Customs and Border Protection chief says.”From 'no crisis' to 'breaking point': Mainstream media changes its tune on border crisis amid illegal immigration surge
