I've never seen folks so interested in citizens of foreign countries. They give more attention to these folks than they do homeless & veterans in the USA.
They worry more about border issues in other countries than they do their own. :rolleyes:

CNN Frets: Trump Success Keeping Illegal Immigrants in Mexico
Over the past couple of months, as there have been signs that President Donald Trump is finally making progress in turning the tide on illegal border crossings, Fox News Channel has given substantial coverage to several critical successes while the other networks have barely touched these developments.
And, over the past several days, as CNN has been acknowledging the drop in illegal crossings, it has done so by running a report several times that complains about the plight of asylum seekers who were sent to Mexico to await their hearings after Mexico agreed to house them so the U.S. would not have to release them into the U.S. interior, thus providing a way for the Trump administration to get around the tangled web of legal precedents.
On New Day Sunday, introducing a piece that also ran on Friday's New Day, and again on CNN Newsroom, co-host Christi Paul set up the story: "Now, President Trump says things are getting better along the U.S.-Mexico border. The reality is they're getting worse for families. There's families waiting for their immigration cases to be called on."
Co-host Victor Blackwell added: "Less than a five-minute walk from the Texas border, thousands of migrants are living in camps with deteriorating living conditions. CNN's Nick Valencia went there."
Correspondent Nick Valencia began his report by recalling the case of a Central American woman he spoke with who crossed the border into the U.S. -- illegally presumably -- and then was required to travel back to Mexico to await the asylum process:
It's part of the Trump administration's Migrant Protection Protocols -- a policy which now requires migrants like her to remain in Mexico for her asylum cases to be called on if they cross illegally or without proper documentation. More than 55,000 people are now scattered in camps all throughout the U.S.-Mexico border.
Soon came a clip of Acting ICE director Matthew Albence recalling that the policy change has led to a reduction of illegal border crossings:
MATTHEW ALBENCE, ACTING ICE DIRECTOR: What we have seen, which is consistent with my experience as we have seen time and time again, that when individuals cannot come into this country illegally and be released from detention, the numbers of those individuals that try to come to this country decreases.
Then, for a significant portion of the report, Valencia could be seen speaking with an immigrant rights activist who complained about the Trump administration's immigration policy. Valencia asked: "This is as a result of U.S. policy?"
ACLU attorney Rochelle Garza declared: "Yes. This entire encampment -- these conditions -- these deaths -- these drownings -- all of it is a result of U.S. policy."
The CNN correspondent then relayed her complaints:
ACLU of Texas staff attorney Rochelle Garza says the migrants are being denied due process. She says their fate is being decided in an unprecedented way in makeshift tent courts. The policy is being challenged in court, but for now, is being allowed to proceed. The Department of Homeland Security has credited the program with slowing the flow of migrants at the border.
