| ABC excludes Obama's criticism of 'open borders' from televised portion of interview |
| 2021-09-30 |
| [FoxNews] ABC News left out a remark from former President Barack Obama describing "open borders" as "unsustainable" from the televised portion of his interview on ABC's "Good Morning America." "Immigration is tough. It always has been because, on the one hand, I think we are naturally a people that wants to help others. And we see tragedy and hardship and families that are desperately trying to get here so that their kids are safe, and they're in some cases fleeing violence or catastrophe," Obama told co-host Robin Roberts in the excluded portion on Tuesday. "At the same time, we're a nation state. We have borders. The idea that we can just have open borders is something that ... as a practical matter, is unsustainable," he added. ABC did air a portion where Obama blamed Republicans for the failure of comprehensive immigration reform to pass Congress, and highlighted his administration's approval of temporary legal status given to Haitian migrants following the devastating 2010 earthquake there. ABC included Obama's full comments in the online article about his interview, although they weren't mentioned until the 13th paragraph. |

| #4 It's called lying by omission. They tell you what they want you to hear to fit their narrative but they never tell you the whole story. Of course open borders are unsustainable and some day, when Obama thinks he has admitted enough Third World types into this country to replace the current reluctant citizens and accomplish his socialist plans, he will slam the door shut. |

| #3 "Unsustainable"?? Try again, Champ. It's f--king ILLEGAL. A violation of our LAWS. A blow against our SOVEREIGNTY, an insult to our notions of citizenship, public order and rule of law |
