Immigration Reform influencing the media

While both Garber and Barrett express the view that our media isn’t very partisan; there are some issues that seem to tell a different story. Immigration reform is such an issue. It would seem most media outlets can’t discuss the issue without bring up a party. Over past year tensions have been running high around Immigration reform.

One need only look towards the bill the Senate passed, which the house has failed to take up, and the executive order from Obama granting deferment to “Dreamers”.
The an article titled A Conservative Pathway for Immigration Reform plays the issue of immigration reform as an issue for conservatives to win voters.

While, TIME posted an article stating that many felt the President hadn’t done enough. However, only democrats seem to like such actions. As many Republicans pledged to file a lawsuit against the president taking unilateral actions.
