CBS: GOP Faces 'Demographic Death Spiral' If They Oppose Immigration Reform

Norah O'Donnell and Anthony Mason badgered National Review editor Rich Lowry on the 10 July 2013 broadcast of CBS This Morning over his opposition to the Senate's immigration reform bill. O'Donnell, who has a history of hardball interviews of conservative guests, wondered if there is a "civil war in the Republican Party" over the immigration issue, and hyped that "the Republican Party is in demographic death spiral unless they do something on immigration reform."

Mason touted the supposed "huge economic benefits" of the proposal, and brushed aside Lowry's slam of the bill as being "deeply flawed". The substitute anchor replied, "But you could say that about most legislation in Washington. Come on!"
