Investment Watch: “McALLEN, Texas — The media tent that once stood in the parking lot of Sacred Heart Church is gone, as are the television crews and reporters who descended this summer when the flow of Central American immigrants illegally crossing the Texas border was major news. But after a brief lull, the surge of undocumented families passing through a temporary shelter set up by Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley seems to be rising again. The spotlight may have turned away, but if the sense of crisis is gone, the people have not stopped coming. “The numbers increased a lot this past month, almost to 100 every day [last week],” said Sister Norma Pimentel, executive director of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley. “We have seen some that have already been caught and tried again. They have hope that they have a chance at a better life here.” Opinion: On Monday we posted a Sheryl Attkinson report on the how media coverage on Ebola has gone from overtime to almost nothing since President Obama appointed the ‘Ebola czar’ Ron Klain. Klain virtually clammed up, and so did Ebola coverage; that, Attkisson believes, was by design despite more than 1400 cases being actively monitored. Illegals entering the US have virtually disappeared from the news as well. Over the past months, our editor asked me several times what was going on but there was little information as the news centered around racial tension. Finding information on the most transparent administration in history is becoming a full time job.
