[See NewsBusters for more.] On the subject of illegal immigration, CNN's debate went left with debate panelist Juan Carlos Lopez hitting Bernie Sanders for not being liberal enough. Lopez demanded, “Senator Sanders, in 2013 you voted for immigration reform. But in 2007 when the Democrats controlled Congress and the Bush White House was on board, you voted against it.”  He then attacked the senator: “Why should Latino voters trust you now when you left them at the altar at the moment when reform was very close?” Following up, Lopez grilled Clinton: “Secretary Clinton, Governor O'Malley wants to open up ObamaCare to millions of undocumented immigrants and their children, including almost 90,000 people right here in Nevada. Do you?”
