Apparently CNN’s stance is that illegal immigration is good, and that the correct way to refer to illegal immigrants is, “Latinos.” That’s according to a report about ICE raids that ran on Monday’s CNN Newsroom during the 9:00 a.m. ET hour, in which the network failed to use the term “undocumented” even a single time.

Fill-in host Ryan Nobles introduced the piece by describing a series of ICE raids in Mississippi as though a category five hurricane had ravaged the state:

A Mississippi town is still reeling months after a series of massive workplace immigration raids. Families say they’re living in fear and businesses are struggling to stay afloat after nearly 700 mostly Latino workers were arrested on the job back in August.

Notably absent from Nobles’s introduction was any indication that those “mostly Latino workers” had been arrested for entering the country illegally. Perhaps it’s a waste of time to criticize CNN for refusing to use a term like “illegal immigrant” — but amazingly, neither Nobles nor CNN correspondent Nick Valencia, who narrated the piece, would even admit that the workers arrested by ICE were “undocumented.” No, to Nobles and Valencia, these individuals were just “Latinos.”

“Latinos make up nearly a quarter of the more than 3600 residents in Morton Mississippi,” Valencia remarked, “but looking at the streets, you wouldn’t be able to tell. As rumors spread of another raid, most have chosen to spend their days in hiding.”

As with any pro-illegal immigration puff piece, the report included a clip of the town’s mayor paraphrasing the Christian perogative to “love thy neighbor.” Valencia added: “Despite what has happened, he says, Latinos are still welcome in Morton. But for the Latinos still left, the life they once saw for themselves here may no longer exist.”

Valencia’s description made it sound as though a gang of racist ICE raiders been scouring the town for innocent minorities. And considering CNN was so disturbed by the enforcement of America’s borders that they cobbled together this report, it’s difficult to imagine that this false impression wasn’t intentional.

A town “reeling,” families “struggling,” and a community “changed” — these are descriptors that one might expect to hear after a mass shooting or a natural disaster. But it’s also how the Facts First network portrays a nation enforcing its own laws.
