Bernie Ups His Amnesty Bid On Univision

February 11th, 2016 4:44 PM

Univision News always finds a way to ensure that immigration is front and center, and that candidates are bidding against each other to see who is willing to provide the most amnesty to those who entered the country illegally. Yesterday's newscast was no exception.

Today's bit of news was laced into the network's recap of the New Hampshire primaries, and the triumphant Sanders' quest to engage minority voters. After mentioning Sanders' breakfast with Al Sharpton (which one twitter wag dubbed a meeting between the guy who wants to raise taxes and the guy who doesn't want to pay them), the report shifted to the Sanders campaign's promise on amnesty.

ERIKA ANDIOLA, HISPANIC PRESS SECRETARY, BERNIE 2016: Arriving to the presidency, he's not going to focus on immigration reform in Congress. He's going to focus on stopping deportations, stopping the raids.

Andiola, who herself is in the country illegally, thus boldly laid out the Sanders bid in Univision's amnesty auction. Of course, brief lip service was paid to the notion of working with Congress, but it goes without saying that much of what the left wants to accomplish on immigration rides on the ability to do it through executive action. It bears remembering that the next President of the United States will, in all likelihood, appoint as many as four justices to the Supreme Court, which will ultimately rule on the constutionality of these executive actions.

Of course, there was no dissenting view presented, no one to point out the illegality of executive actions, and no one to defend the rule of law...par for the course for Univision News.
