What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBreitbart reports that twenty-four states have an Office of New Americans, paid for with tax dollars, and it claims they push migrants' needs ahead of citizens'.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThat is Breitbart's framing, and it is a claim, not a finding.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTwenty-four offices with the same name. That is a franchise, Gloria, and I want to know who is running the loyalty card.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThey are state agencies, Dale, not a sandwich chain, and the story does not give a price tag for any of them.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNo price tag. So your taxes are funding something nobody will quote, like a mystery buffet.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBuffet?
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorEvery state wants one, and soon there will be a drive-through.
