The reporting is embedded with little subconscious biases ("The Obama administration FIIINALLY made an announcement!"). The anchor also makes her own points during her interviews, and she has to awkwardly cut off her first expert guest. The interview subjects are qualified and offer insightful commentary from a conservative perspective, and they are not cross-examined.

An articulation of the conservative perspective on immigration. Both guests do offer some insight, the first from a policy perspective, and the second from a political perspective.

While it discusses some of the issues around the Arizona immigration debate, it is done with a tone leaning in support of the bill. The reporter, Dana Perino, is the former White House press secretary under Bush 43, and Tucker Carlson's right-leaning commentary support the a more conservative p.o.v. on this issue; Robert Bonner is a knowledgeable source on this topic and is reasoned in his responses, though the interviewer awkwardly cuts away from him to get Carlson's commentary (which is a reiteration of what is widely believed). Not much new information or insight.
