MSM on Illegal Immigration
There are many powerful interests in the United States dedicated to silencing the debate on illegal immigration. Not the least of which is the main stream media. As the previous post noted, CBS did a fine job promoting their pro-illegal immigration stance on their evening broadcast Saturday May 5th. How patriotic of them on Cinco De Mayo to offer their sympathetic and profit-driven voice. A search of the news will find a plethora of similar pandering.
It is rare to find any account of honest discussion of the motives behind amnesty, a path to citizenship for law breakers. Typically these stories are accompanied by MSM slants designed to tug at the heart strings of gullible viewers or readers. Here is a little reminder from Lou Dobbs at CNN.

NEW YORK (CNN) — The Bush administration and the leadership of the Democratic Party are preparing to take another legislative leap at imposing a massive illegal alien amnesty on American citizens.And the mainstream media are complicit in advancing this thinly veiled blanket amnesty. Instead of asking and answering important questions about why our immigration laws aren’t being enforced and why we’re permitting pervasive document fraud, the national media seem hell-bent on trying to obfuscate the issue, shamelessly playing with language, equating legal immigration with illegal immigration while obviously trying to preserve the illusion of objectivity.
