"And it's not just Border Crisis that gets scant coverage on the big three"
That is wrong and silly on so many levels.
For one, literally everyone in this country knows there is a problem with people illegally crossing the southern border, no matter what their information sources are. The only question is how big of a problem do they think it is?
For two, whenever something major happens at the southern border it is covered by all the networks. Sure the non-conservative, non-crazy networks don't have a scrolling chryon declaring it a CRISIS!!!!! every 1/2 hour of every day, but that is because those networks don't have a business model that relies on scaring their uninformed viewers, because in reality it isn't really a crisis. We have had a problem with people illegally entering the country for more than 50 years. Over that time the severity of the problem ebbs and flows like the tides, mostly based on economic forces, but it has been happening for 50 years and mostly worse in the past than it is now, yet despite going on for more than 50 years, the country has still survived and even thrived. That can only be described as a crisis by someone who is trying to scare you. Prey on your ignorance.
For three, I am willing to bet that there are quite a few posters (probably even most posters) here who are far more knowledgeable about many of the real issues surrounding immigration that you are despite the fact they get their information from sources that don't have a have a scrolling chryon declaring it a CRISIS!!!!! every 1/2 hour of every day. For example, do you know that one of the biggest problems with people illegally in this country is that the legal process for dealing with them is very slow. It is slow because it is overwhelmed. Not enough resources have been dedicated to the legal processing of potential illegals. Congress never appropriates enough funds to hire enough people to help speed up the legal process. Furthermore, I will give you one guess which political party keeps trying to shortchange the legal process by cutting the budgets? Yep, it is the Republicans.
You see, many Republicans don't really want to solve the problem of people entering the country illegally. They just want to scare you and use it as a political hammer to hit their opposition with because it is politically beneficial to them.
Three things are a good indication that you are not well informed about illegal immigration and instead are reacting to being fed propaganda by poor sources of information that take advantage of the fact that you will listen uncritically:
1. You cite Newsbusters as a source (LOL).
2. You refer to it as a crisis.
3. You honestly think non-nutty news sources don't report on what happens at the border.
