Yesterday’s edition of Fox News Sunday included a panel discussion of the border crisis featuring Fox News contributors George Will, Kirsten Powers, Juan Williams and Brit Hume.
After a viewer called out the show for failing to include an amnesty opponent — good point! — Fox News’ Brit Hume waded into the semantic controversy over the definition of amnesty.
RT @ningrim: @brithume why did the FNS panel have no one representing the anti-amnesty pov? <2 words, Intentional & Agenda

@Reenit @ningrim Who said anything about amnesty? Do you even know what the word means? I urge you to look it up.

@brithume amnesty meaning they get to stay in the country legally (conditions or no). That incentivizes more illegal immigration.

@ningrim That may or may not be good policy but it's not amnesty.

He made the same argument last month, after Dave Brat defeated Rep. Eric Cantor in the Republican primary in Virginia’s 7th congressional district:
Brit Hume is now saying that legalizing illegal immigrants isn't technically amnesty

@tlcopper @1RonnieD Did you hear Laura Ingraham & Brit Hume on definition of amnesty. Brit was fuming. Laura said legalization was amnesty.
