Media Research Center: On Friday's Good Morning America, co-anchor [liberal]* Chris Cuomo, the son of former Democratic Governor Mario Cuomo, slammed conservative immigration hawk Tom Tancredo for using "scary" words and wondered why he chose to "rip" down the Senate's immigration bill. [Didn't know Tancredo had this much power -- GO TOM]* The GMA anchor slyly asked if the Congressman was "driving anti-immigrant sentiment." Cuomo's overall tone fit the very definition of loaded questions and a liberal agenda. The ABC anchor, whose brother is the Democratic Attorney General of New York, began the segment by aggressively inquiring, "Why did you feel the need to rip a bill like this down?" He continued with a query about why Tancredo, who is also running for President, opposed a "humane" solution: "A majority of Americans want a humane solution. The numbers are in favor of giving some type of amnesty to these people. Isn't that the humane solution? Why are you so adamantly opposed to it?" Tom Tancredo: "Here is how you handle it. It's called, it's called attrition through enforcement. If we actually begin to enforce the laws, secure our border and enforce the law against people hiring people who are here illegally, you will see attrition. People go home if they cannot get the thing for which they came. And then they get in line and they come in the same way anybody else does." [Good answer Tom]*
Of course, Cuomo only presented half the story. Yes, a majority of Americans do support some type of guest worker plan. But most polls find agreement on enforcing existing immigration laws: www.foxnews.com Additionally, as the MRC's Tim Graham pointed out, a New York Times poll found that 69 percent of Americans said illegal aliens should be prosecuted and deported: newsbusters.org . Cuomo continued with his hostile questions . . . [Read More] See also: Gibson Rues 'Hope' of Immigration Deal Defeated by 'Polarization' *Editor's comments.
