Big Moment in Telemundo's Census Coverage

Big Moment in Telemundo's Census Coverage. It came in a story that anchor Jose Diaz-Balart billed as revealing "the dark side of Hispanic growth" and showing why "many fear that the anti-immigrant climate will grow." The story was prompted by the new report from the Census Bureau that the Hispanic population had grown to more than 50 million, an increase of 15 million during the past decade. That represents a 43 percent jump since 2000. The big moment came as a Mexican immigrant woman told reporter Cristina Londono that she was concerned that Americans will "think that we are invading their country." Univision stories, which tend to be heavily slanted in favor of illegal immigrants, inevitably refer to concerns as "anti-immigrant" – rather than "anti-illegal immigration."
