An Immigration Reality Check from New Yorkers

I'm glad Mayor Bloomberg was on CNN speaking out about a truth that other Republican's have refused to admit:

"We're not going to deport 12 million people, so let's stop this fiction... I wonder what world [House Republicans] live in you know, it must be easy. They're playing to a constituency back home... and that has nothing to do with what would make good long-term policy"

I never thought these words would pass my keyboard but Bloomberg's hit the nail on its head.

Speaking of which, Andrea was on CounterSpin Radio this morning (the syndicated show done by Fairness and Accuracy in Media and Reporting - a group I've loved since High School). If your NPR or Pacifica affiliate doesn't run the show you can download Andrea's wisdom on what the media's been leaving out when they talk about immigration and listen on your computer.
