This doesn't seem like a problem to the welfare of Americans at all, while the caravan is. I presume that's the reason it's not in the news.
Also the Ebola scare was already sold back in the day and in the end nothing important happened, so it's going to be hard to sell this.

"better for the economy" doesn't always translate to better lives for the laymen. Also you have to understand some people don't want immigrants at all.
But I was just giving a reason as to why this isn't on the media. No point on making this political.

#15The real fear is that one person makes it out of the area and into another part of the world, similar to what happened in Dallas. The more people are infected in that area the more the odds of escape go up. Any place in the world can wind up with an outbreak within a short time. Given the response of the hospital in Dallas, it's very likely most medical facilities would not recognize Ebola before transmission had already occurred.

Sure. We have a huge shortage of unskilled labor in the US, if this shortage isn't addressed, it might put upward pressure on wages for unskilled workers. We can not allow this to happen to the ownership class

It arguably does far more times than it doesn't.

Putting aside the fact that 99% of the time they are decedents of immigrants, I've yet to hear one compelling reason why they should be taken seriously.

How is the caravan a problem to the welfare of Americans?

#19I would love to see regularly updated and triaged "backlogs" for countries, and subsequently the world. And then maybe just report on the top 100 in each news cycle.
Just lists of most important tickets in a global todo list - because this would just rise to the top pretty quickly and make us rethink mid terms, Brexit and train delays.

Whether you think that they should be taken seriously or not is irrelevant; they are citizens with a right to vote so their concerns are valid. Not taking people seriously and not listening to them over uncontrolled immigration is what led to Brexit. It is a serious problem for many people for a variety of reasons.
