What isn't shown on the video link is the agenda behind the video. It's a conclusion-first, craft evidence later fare that is useful for generating outrage against unliked people.

About the creator (Reuters):

    One late afternoon in mid-May, a half dozen Hispanic day laborers
    were paid $20 each to parade in front of the White House on camera,
    holding signs with slogans like "I Love Biden" and "I Need Work 
    Permit for My Family."

    The stunt was orchestrated by Nick Shirley, a pro-[now potus] online
    influencer who often asks migrants on camera if they support
    Democratic President Joe Biden or think he made it easier for
    them to come to the U.S.

  • So the fraud doesn't matter? What journalist would you trust so this story is real?

    • You deal with the fraud in front of you first. Here the most prominent (and most egregious!) fraud is crafting stories out of nothing that tightly adhere to predrawn conclusions.

      There will never be enough facts (actual or otherwise) to sprinkle into this creator's stories that his tales will ever be anything other than bad-faith fiction.
