In a June 29 interview, Yahoo! News anchor Katie Couric, a veteran of NBC, CBS and ABC News, pressed GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz if he had any "empathy" for "undocumented immigrants."

“I know you staunchly oppose President Obama’s executive actions on immigration. You’ve worked to block every legislative effort to allow undocumented immigrants to remain legally in this country. So, given the fact that your father immigrated here from Cuba, do you have any empathy for people who come here looking for a better way of life?”
