While most of the media’s immigration coverage consists of sad stories about Hispanic illegals being picked up by ICE, those reports are filled with lies and misinformation

The under-reported part of the story is about how immigrants from all over the world are being trafficked into local communities – and they are not coming to work on a farm or in chicken plants in Albertville, by guys like Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

The focus on sob stories is done intentionally to hide the truth.
