The New York Times is admitting illegal migration has a big pocketbook impact on Americans and their politics, just two weeks after Donald Trump used the issue to win the 2024 election.
“Border concerns, driven as much by real challenges as manufactured ones — and wrapped up with voters’ other worries about the economy, housing prices, and crime — … fueled rightward shifts across the country, pollsters and strategists said,” admitted a November 15 article by Jazmine Ulloa, who usually ignores Americans’ views in her sympathetic coverage of migrants.
The admission is a win for ordinary Americans because the newspaper’s reluctant and late admission may open the way for many establishment outlets to show how migration shifts wealth and power from ordinary Americans to coastal elites.
