CNN host Rick Sanchez defended illegal immigration during a discussion with Arizona State Representative Rick Murphy.
Sanchez’s line of questioning was bizarre.
Sanchez: Are you an elected official?
Murphy: Yes I am
Sanchez: So you think people come to this country all steal?
Murphy: I’m sorry I didn’t quite catch that
Sanchez: Do they all steal?
Murphy: No they don’t all steal, but let me give you an example okay?
Sanchez: Okay so no no just answer the question, do they all steal? Do they all live in caves?
Just a few seconds later;
Sanchez: So if they go to the grocery store to buy goods they pay taxes, it’s called the sales tax right?
Murphy: Well most cities here don’t tax groceries, but besides that let me give you an example. My wife and I are foster parents.
Sanchez: (talking over Murphy’s statement of being a foster parent) Okay let’s suppose since you’re going to be so smart, No let’s just continue the conversation. I don’t want your talking points.
This was some of the strangest line of questioning that I have ever seen. Asking Murphy if he thought that all illegals steal or that they live in caves was nothing more than an attempt to goad Murphy into saying something that would make him look like a racist or a fool.
When Sanchez didn’t get the answers he was seeking he was just plain rude by called Murphy smart as in smart ass and telling him he didn’t want any of his talking points. Of course it was perfectly fine for Sanchez to use his.
With interviews or more accurately interrogations like this it’s no wonder CNN can’t find an audience.
Sanchez owes Murphy an apology for the way he treated him, but we all know that will never happen.

5 Comments for CNN’s Sanchez Defends Illegal Immigration
There is no defense for any illegality.There is no defense for amnesty. We are overpopulated. We have too much dead weight on the tax rolls now. There is no need to spend money just to create more demos. It is inexcusable waste.
What a rude litle man brow beating his guest with goofy illogical questions. Even government stats clearly indicate the head of household earning a poverty level wage will breed a larger family than they normally would in Mexico only because they are being subsidized by the government (that’s you). They pay little if any in tax under the Earned Income Tax Credit(EITC) and in many cases receive refunds without even having paid taxes. This is, what I think, has many citizen taxpayers frustrated and angry, being forced to pay child support and educate a strangers family while having to deny their own families the benefits of their labor, all the while their wages stagnate from all the additional labor in the market.
At least when you get divorced, the Judge decides the level of child support. But when it comes to paying child support to illegal aliens the sky’s the limit. No judicial review. Just a government saying you are from now on required to pay a stranger to raise their family so they can buy nice things with their income while you need deny those things to yours.
Oh yeah. Now I remember. It’s called communism. No wonder “open borders” agenda dovetails so nicely with Obama’s Cloward-Piven agenda. We are forced to support and educate the families of the illegal aliens so they can vote against us demanding even more and more in social services.

Sanchez is a Idiot!!!!!! Is that clean enough.

The other day, an illegal went into a store for beer. he started to drink it as he walked out without paying. The store worker went out after him & said according to witnesses,”Sir,you have to pay for the beer”. The illegal proceeded to turn & SHOOT the store man & KILL him,,a husband with 3 children. Would that answer Rick SANCHEZ’s question about those who steal??? The illegals family helped him go BACK over the Mex. border & get away with it.
If SANCHEZ wants this type of criminal in HIS ‘hood,,it can be arranged.
Then we will see how he feels about ILLEGALS then. He will probably say that his ‘hood is ZONED so that poor illegals CANNOT live there. HA!
Think about it.
NOT RACIST,,,NOT VIOLENT,,,just NOT SILENT !!!
I feel like all the cable news networks do this. Even during the “serious” news programs, the reporters or anchors act the same as O’Reilly, Olbermann, Maddow, Beck or Hannity. I suppose Sanchez is more in line with those guys as a sort of “opinion” commentator/journalist. Not an actual news desk anchorman.
It is as though the producers of these networks feel so driven by sound bytes and the network personalities/reporters are so driven by ideology as to block the dissemination of actual news, viewpoints and information.
Substantive debate needs a revival.
