CNN is pulling at heart strings to get an emotional response from people to somehow support these illegals.   Why not a story showing their incompetence?   

Because we get bombarded with that from the White House?

No jobs? BUILD THE WALL!
Drugs? BUILD THE WALL!
Gun violence? THERE'S NOT ANY.... BUT BUILD THE WALL ANYWAY!

The GOP long-branded itself as the opposition party. Likewise, Fox branded itself as opposition news. Damn the liberalist elite agenda! Damn the majority in Congress! (later) Damn Obama!

Roles are reversed.

The GOP is now deficit spending like crazy, tossing gobs of money at donor problems that don't fix anything, worrying more about special interests than any real fixes. Likewise, Fox is no longer opposition news, they're propaganda spreaders. Which means CNN is now in that opposition role.

Whereas several years ago we had poor disheartened Joe the Plumber to rally folks, now you've got ... whoever this story is about, I honestly didn't read it.
