After several days of silence, Univision finally got around to covering the horrific rape at Rockville High School (Maryland). In so doing, the network aired a stunning admission that blows its liberal narrative and immigration agenda completely out of the water.

I don't ever recall an expert coming on a Univision newscast to state that the Obama administration's immigration policies contributed directly to the commission of a horrific crime, nor did I ever expect such an admission to be made during a live report from the scene of the crime. But here it is: immigration attorney Joseph Malouf explaining to correspondent Pablo Gato that the new Trump executive order would have stopped one of the alleged Rockville rapists from ever getting to Maryland, had it been in effect when the suspect was detained in Texas:

PABLO GATO, CORRESPONDENT, UNIVISION: If this had occurred now, with President Trump’s new executive order, what would the situation be? JOSEPH MALOUF, IMMIGRATION LAWYER: It would be different, because they would have arrested Mr. Sanchez and they would have detained him, and eventually he would have been deported. He wouldn’t have been able to enter the area and obviously commit this crime.

The previous policy, left unnamed here, is the Obama administration's "catch and release" policy with regard to illegal aliens generally, and specifically for the tens of thousands of unaccompanied alien minors that have been streaming into the country from Central America these past few years.

I knew the live report from Rockville would be a blockbuster when visibly rattled Univision co-anchor María Elena Salinas went off-prompter, and proceeded to read her introduction to the story from the desk. Her intro speaks for itself:

MARIA ELENA SALINAS, UNIVISION ANCHOR: Well...much indignation has been caused by the brutal rape of a student - a young student that...had been abused by some Central American teenagers. But aside from the cruelty of that crime, the status of the defendants and the handling of their cases, it (the Rockville rape) is further agitating the climate of hostility towards immigrants. We now go to Pablo Gato with the latest information. Over to you, Pablo.

Such is the primacy of practically unfettered open-border policy at Univision. Even a horrific story such as this one (in itself, a macabre metaphor of the utter brokenness of our immigration system) was framed within the context of its potential detriment to the network's preferred liberal immigration policy. The crime itself seems to be of secondary importance - an inconvenient bump on the road to glorious immigration reform. That much was evident when Jorge Ramos coldly segued into the next story with "in other immigration news..."

Correspondent Pablo Gato further melded crime and policy by mentioning the specter of President Donald Trump and including portions of Press Secretary Sean Spicer's remarks on the matter. Gato then brought in attorney Joseph Malouf. None of Gato's subsequent caveats on lower immigant crime rates softened the blow of Malouf's citation of Obama-era policy as a direct cause of this awful event.

Univision's Rockville coverage ran about three minutes long. Caveats and anchor framing aside, the network ran a story that was totally detrimental to its long-term agenda, but certainly in the interest of public service.

Univision's top rival Telemundo, meanwhile, to its shame, was still silent on Rockville. That sister network of NBC chose instead to allocate time (2:02, to be precise) to continued coverage of the travels of Tom Brady's Super Bowl jersey.
