David Gregory: Republicans Have 'Harsh Stance' On Immigration Reform
Did David Gregory realize just how much he was letting down the mask and revealing his liberal bias? On today's "Meet The Press," Gregory stated as a simple declarative fact that Republicans have a "harsh stance" on immigration reform.
Did Gregory simply forget the "some say" fig leaf so favored by the MSM? Or is the MTP moderator so lost in the liberal media cocoon that he can't imagine anyone disagreeing with his assertion that the GOP view is "harsh"? View the video after the jump.
Gregory laid his charge at the feet of Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell in the guise of questioning whether a Republican presidential candidate could carry the state given the rise in the number of Hispanic voters. McDonnell made a strong case that the Republican candidate will indeed carry Virginia, though he regrettably failed to refute Gregory's allegation that the GOP stance on immigration reform is "harsh."
Watch Gregory parrot a Dem attack point as fact.
DAVID GREGORY: Governor McDonnell: immigration. Your state, as you well know, has a big increase, almost 19% since 2008, in Hispanic voters who are now voting age. This was a state that the president carried. If you look at the party's stance--a harsh stance on immigration reform--do you see him recarrying, on carrying Virginia again based in part on the reaction of Hispanic voters around the country to Republicans on immigration?
BOB MCDONNELL: No I don't. I think the president's way under water. The last poll, 39% approval rating. I carried the state by 18%, three new congressman elected last year. I don't see it happening. I do think that Hispanic voters, while they lean toward the Democratic party, are largely self-identified as conservatives. I think we have a great chance to reach them, because our message on job creation, economic development, restoration of the American dream, is exactly why people come here in the first place, because we are this shining city on a hill. And that's going to be our message over the next 14 months.

No, David Gregory. Republicans have the populist view on . . immigration.
Polls have always shown how the American people felt on both illegal immigration and legal immigration, and those views have been disregarded long enough.
Just last year, in the heat of the Arizona Immigration Bill and the resultant hate mongering by the Obama White House, city councils across the country, and the national MSM, the very liberal - progressive Pew Center conducted a national poll. It was a good straight poll. The results, not surprisingly went like this:
Let's see now, David Gregory. We can expect you to question the Obama White House and liberal Democrats who share that same fringe minority view, the following question, can we not?
Yea - I didn't think so.
And what else did that poll find? Well, the Pew folks went right out and literally summarized those supposedly two most contentious measures in the bill (the ones Holder blocked - the ones that the boycotts were over) and found that nationally:
That super majority of Americans - that 70%+ broad swath of Americans - they're the ones you folks in the MSM, and at the White House, keep referring to as racist, intolerant, a danger to civil liberties, etc.
The people are going to find their voice, Mr. Gregory.

Conservatives have taken the legal stance. Obama has no immigration policy, he only has a amnesty buy buying scheme. Come on obama, show us you are serious, deport the zeituni leech and the omar the drunk now.

The sooner we cut off the flow at the borders then the sooner we can end illegals in the USA.

Heres a transcript of Rep. Jordan's (D-TX) testimony to the House as Chairman of the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform. I've only skimmed it, but everything looks reasonable. Wikipedia says that Pres. Clinton endorsed the proposals. Wonder if he still does.
Apparently, for some.

Following the law can be a harsh stance to take.
David, are you having another mendacious moment?

You're correct Dave...

....it's called "law enforcement." Really strict indeed! Call them "old-fashioned", but they also have a strict policy on murder and other criminal activities as well.
