Andrea Mitchell, a talking head whose grasp of facts is often not quite what news consumers should expect from their television hosts, took her own reputation down another notch on Tuesday with statements on last week’s immigration raids in Mississippi. The word “inane” would be a charitable way of putting it. The topic came up on “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” when Mitchell was questioning NBC correspondent Gabe Gutierrez about an interview he conducted with Matthew Albence, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. During the interview, a showboating Gutierrez insisted on playing a short video for Albence of a sobbing young girl mortified that her illegal alien father had been arrested. Albence said he’d already seen the video, but Gutierrez played it anyway — the better to make for dramatic television. “What would you tell that little girl?” Gutierrez asked. Albence fielded the question cleanly. While not losing a sympathetic demeanor, he patiently explained what — to most adults, anyway — were the obvious facts of the case: The illegal alien had broken the law. ICE agents enforce the law. A situation like that means someone – like a weeping little girl – isn’t going to be happy. And the parents are the ones to blame for that. “Every law enforcement agency enforces the law against individuals who have broken it,” Albence said. ”The parents or the individuals that are breaking the law are ultimately the ones that are responsible for placing their children in this situation.” He explained that when police officers respond to a domestic disturbance call, they often make arrests of individuals while their children are present. Mature people who in possession of their faculties generally understand that that’s the way the law works. Other people, like, say, Andrea Mitchell, pretend to be astonished at even the possibility.
