CBS’s John Dickerson Misleads Public About Migration Crisis, Downplays Border Surge

John Dickerson, co-anchor of CBS Evening News, misled viewers by suggesting that the border crisis is improving, claiming that migration is at its lowest since the Trump administration. His statement ignored the fact that more than 10 million illegal crossings have occurred under President Joe Biden’s leadership, sparking criticism from conservatives who accuse the media of downplaying the crisis.

Dickerson’s comments were made during a segment discussing polling data that revealed a deep divide between Democrats and Republicans on the issue of migration. While 67% of Democrats believe the administration has tried to lower migration, 65% of Republicans believe Biden’s policies have worsened the situation. Despite this, Dickerson focused on a recent decline in border crossings, avoiding the broader reality of millions of illegal entries.

The Biden administration has been widely criticized for reversing many of President Donald Trump’s border policies, which had reduced illegal migration. Since Biden took office, illegal crossings have surged, overwhelming border towns and straining local resources. However, the media, including CBS, continues to focus on selective data that minimizes the severity of the problem.

Conservative critics argue that mainstream outlets like CBS are protecting the Biden administration from public backlash by highlighting short-term improvements while ignoring the long-term consequences of their policies. Border towns, especially in states like Texas, have seen record numbers of migrants and have been left to handle the crisis on their own.

The Biden administration’s failure to address the root causes of illegal migration has led to a sustained border crisis, with no real solution in sight. Despite the reality on the ground, Dickerson’s report painted a rosier picture, leaving many conservatives frustrated with the lack of honest reporting.
