Narrative BUSTED: 'Anti-Immigrant' Trump just broke ANOTHER record and no wonder the media isn't covering it

Wait, what now?

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services released their FY 2018 report and there was an increase in citizenship?!

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services @USCIS released their FY 2018 report and if you're wondering why ZERO mainstream media outlets have touched it this week it might be because there was a 61% increase from 2017 to 2018 in affirmative asylum applications.

GET OUTTA HERE.

That's right: Your anti-immigrant president just oversaw the highest approval of citizenship applications in 5 years.https://t.co/8Do3MEnboK

But we thought Trump was anti-immigrant and stuff? Who knew?

From the Washington Times:

Homeland Security reached a five-year high in approvals of citizenship applications last year, and swore in more people as naturalized citizens as well, according to the new statistical report released Friday night.

Those numbers contradict the criticisms of congressional Democrats who had complained about backlogs building at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Homeland Security branch that handles legal immigration.

The new report also suggests that far from a crackdown, the government is processing more asylum-seeker petitions than any of the last four years. That included a 61 percent increase from 2017 to 2018 in affirmative asylum applications.

Surely our good, honest, unbiased, reliable friends in the media are going to start covering this story any minute now, right? RIGHT?!

Guess not.

but it is the administration putting out these numbers.

Yes, it’s all a PLOT.

FFS.

… so your confirmation bias is so dogged that you want to believe USCIS—which is highly staffed by Obama-era federal employees—fabricated numbers in an official report?

You realize that's not a thing, right?

Who knew? Well, besides most of us on the Right who understand that wanting secure borders and legal immigrants aren’t racist …

WAIT A MINUTE.

This goes against the narrative. https://t.co/VIbEhfisiy

Which is why we’re not seeing much reported on it in the media.

Typical.
