Last week, CBS This Morning journalists warned not to politicize the story of a drunk illegal alien who killed Indianapolis Colts player Edwin Jackson. That instruction apparently no longer applies as the network on Monday focused on an illegal hiding in a Phoenix church, trying to stay with his pregnant wife and five-year-old son who has cancer. Cancer? Church? Pregnant wife? Talk about story selection.
Reporter Manuel Bojorquez explained, “[Jesus] Berrones is his family’s sole breadwinner, and the U.S. is the only country he’s ever known. his parents brought him here as a toddler in 1989. Now 30 Berrones doesn’t meet the requirements for a so-called DREAMer.”
Bojorquez breezily noted that Berrones was “once caught driving without a license. He’s been deported twice, in 2006 and 2010. Each time he came back illegally.” Talking to the reverend of Shadow Rock United Church of Christ, the reporter managed: “Some say you are harboring a criminal.”– READ MORE

Alex and Daniela Velez told CNN Money that Alex’s DACA status expires on March 6, and if there’s no deal, they’re gone.
“I will leave. I will leave America as soon as possible,” said Alex, a 19-year-old community college student who works at the clothing store Forever 21. “I want to be able to leave on my terms. I’m not going to be waiting for anyone to come for me.”
