Where is the coverage of this situation?

Posted July 14, 2014 5:01 am

There has virtually been little reporting in the Daily Herald of the growing flood of illegals walking right into our country from Guatemala, Honduras and other central American countries. There is chaos on the Texas border, with various governmental agencies scrambling to feed, house and medically care for thousands of unaccompanied children, teens and adults streaming into our country.

Why is there no coverage of this (except for two small articles regarding Obama's request for $2 billion dollars from Congress to deal with this situation)?

This is certainly an important story. These undocumented aliens, many of whom carry diseases, are being flown and bused to all parts of our country to be housed, schooled and become recipients of many other benefits paid for us, the taxpayers. The citizens of this area need to know what is going on. Are you up for the journalism challenge, Daily Herald?
