NPR: Geraldo Rivera Takes on Anti-Immigrant Fervor in ‘His Panic’ + His O’Reilly Factor ‘explosion’ on YouTube

The hostility by some anti-immigrant activists against Hispanics is no different from that directed against earlier generations of Irish, Italian and Jewish immigrants, Geraldo Rivera says.

“It’s a hysterical whipping up of a mob frenzy on an issue that should be recognized that it is part of a process that makes this country unique,” Rivera tells Steve Inskeep. “And by exacerbating the differentness of the newcomers, what they do is a gross disservice.”

When it comes to immigration, Rivera puts himself on the side that has repeatedly lost. The television host has written a book favoring the kind of immigration policies that Congress defeated in each of the past two years.”*
