In an Aug. 14 CNSNews.com article, Terry Jeffrey asserted that President Obama “referred to American opponents of amnesty for illegal aliens as ‘demagogues.'”
But Obama said nothing about “amnesty.” Answering a question about “comprehensive immigration reform,” Obama said, “There are going to be demagogues out there who try to suggest that any form of pathway for legalization for those who are already in the United States is unacceptable.”
Jeffrey provides no evidence that the proposed “pathway for legalization” is “amnesty,” or even that only “pathway” critics (like Jeffrey) refer to any legalization pathway as “amnesty.”
Jeffrey has previously baselessly conflated comprehensive immigration reform with undefined “amnesty.”
