On Tuesday, a U.S. Army veteran claimed that while he was in Central America he witnessed CNN televising a segment on how people from Latin America can illegally immigrate to the United States.
“I was in Nicaragua, and I saw, essentially, a CNN infomercial on how to come illegally into the United States and get asylum,” Chris Holton told NRATV.
“They created this ‘news documentary’ that essentially was an infomercial,” Holton continued. “It was aired across Latin America, encouraging people to do this. And this is a real problem.”
Holton’s claim comes as a 1,500-person caravan from Latin America is making its way north, through Mexico, with hopes of entering the United States. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he was deploying the military to the Southern Border to enhance border security measures until he receives the proper funding needed for border security and a border wall.
