We’ve documented how CNSNews.com insists on calling any attempt at immigration reform “amnesty” even though none of the proposals forwarded do not fit the definition of the word. Now, another MRC employee wants in on that action.
Clay Waters complains in a Jan. 14 MRC TimesWatch item that the New York Times “has long been pushing for immigration ‘reform’ that would include amnesty for illegal immigrants and a path to citizenship.” Earth to Waters: If there’s a path to citizenship, it is by definition not amnesty, which implies no preconditions.
Waters followed that up with a Jan. 16 item again insisting that the Times backs “immigration ‘reform,’ involving mass amnesty for illegals in the United States. ” Again, Waters offered no evidence that what the Times supports fits the dictionary definition of amnesty.
