Apparently, CNSNews.com doesn’t view immigrants as fully human.
Kharen Martinez Murcia wrote in a Sept. 6 CNS article: “An estimated 277 people are moving out of the New York City metro area every day, a loss that is being cushioned by a large influx of immigrants, reports Bloomberg News.”
That’s interesting wording. Immigrants are not people? Apparently not at CNS.
Martinez Murcia also cribbed from the Bloomberg article that “[f]rom July 2017 to July 2018, a net of close to 200,000 New Yorkers sought a new life outside the Big Apple while the area welcomed almost 100,000 net international migrants.” Highlighting that seems to betray the same anti-immigrant bias, since CNS apparently assumes that all the people leaving are fully fledged Americans and everyone coming in is probably an “illegal alien” or something. It also doesn’t account for whether any of the “people” leaving New York are also immigrants.
Martinez Murcia went on to state in the first paragraph that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo “claims the exodus is being fueled by a $10,000 cap on deductions for state and local taxes,” suggesting the issue was a state one — but waited until the eight paragraph to not that the tax deduction cap was “implemented by the Trump administration and Congress in 2017.”
But in the previous paragraph, she stated that “mass migration has more to do with bad administration on N.Y. Gov. Cuomo’s (D) part than it has to do with tax policies,” claiming this was “disclosed” by The Hill. In fact, the Hill article to which Martinez Murcia is referring is not a news article but an opinion piece by “libertarian writer” Kristin Tate.
