Kind of the like the myth about there being a liberal media bias.

Via New York Times:

There is a reasonable way to confront the influx of Central American children at the southern border, and the White House is getting it mostly right.

It has asked Congress for $3.7 billion in emergency funds to pay for more immigration judges, for legal assistance to children and parents, and to help care for tens of thousands of children in shelters in Texas and elsewhere. [...]

Republicans are feeding the cycle, stoking panic about a border under assault, even to the point of demanding that Mr. Obama call out the National Guard. Nativist protesters are blocking buses of migrants in places like Murrieta, Calif. Homegrown militias are issuing calls to arms. Illegal border crossings, meanwhile, are still lower than they have been in years. The besieged border is a myth, and the arrival of a few thousand weary refugee children on buses does not make the myth true.

"All the News That's Fit to Invent"

The byline says this masterpiece is by "THE EDITORIAL BOARD". Anyone think that these effete snobs went any farther South than Lower Manhattan to view the crisis in action?

"Congress should swiftly approve it, since it contains pretty much everything that lawmakers — even President Obama’s Republican critics — have been demanding."

What a crock. First and foremost the bill contains no provisions to seal the border in order to stop the flood of illegals. It also contains no provisions to deport the recent influx. The NYT piece does, however, contain the customary Liberal smear of those who oppose Obama and his Leftist policies: "Nativist protesters are blocking buses of migrants in places like Murrieta, Calif."
