Font Size Whether illegal immigration has gotten substantially better or substantially worse in the last year depended on whether you were watching CBS or Fox News. After Fox & Friends hosted a segment to discuss the recent surges in illegal border crossings in the last few months on Christmas Eve morning, about an hour later, CBS This Morning ran a brief informing viewers that border arrests were down overall in 2020 in part because of the pandemic, but without mentioning the most recent worsening of the situation. At 6:41 a.m. Eastern, Fox News fill-in co-host Griff Jenkins set up the segment: "Let's turn to the border with apprehensions on the rise along the Southern border in recent months. President-elect Joe Biden announced this week that he would not roll back Trump-era border measures on day one of his administration."
