Hello everyone. Today I found an article written by Breitbart while looking at recent news, here in the link if you want to check it out.
https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2022/12/01/bidens-2023-border-plan-two-migrants-every-u-s-birth/\
The article claimed that the American democrat government was bringing in roughly 4.5 million immigrants a year to serve as workers in low-wage jobs as a method to bolster those already rich. The article describes why this is very negative and how it affects America. Reading this article, it’s initial claims seemed to high and some points gave me the impression of a very opinionated writer. So I decided to verify this information.
- To start I went to their Wikipedia site to check their reputation and status as a news outlet. Checking their page I read that Breitbart was heavily biased and posted intentionally misleading stories or conspiracy theories.
- Next I checked snopes.com to check if they had reviewed this article. Turns out they hadn’t so I moved on
- Next I put the title of the article into google to check if anyone else had reported on this news. There was only 1 other article and it was written by a member of Breitbart. There was no other source that echoed what was written in the article.
- Finally I used checked Joe Biden’s official plan on immigration for 2022 and beyond. The site had no mention of attempting to increase the amount of immigrants entering the US to fill low wage jobs. Instead it describes a plan to support those who have entered America and help give citizenship to those working there.
After reviewing the validity of the Breitbart article I believe that it is incorrect. The news outlet was described as unreliable, fake and rather biased. The only article that echoed the information was written by a member of the organization. And Biden’s official plan on immigration never mentions the information claimed by Breitbart. So the facts seem to point to this article being fake.
