“When it comes to immigration, I think that among Democrats, especially Democrats who are debating this issue, interviewers and members of the media tended to minimize immigration during the first two and a half years when immigration was high. “There was a tendency to try to limit the number of people coming here,” Tarlov said. “And when they started busing immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, I thought it was a stunt. It was the smartest thing they ever did.”

“Well, it’s interesting, I have a friend who lives in Florida, and I said, ‘Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott have taken some of these immigrants and moved them to northern states. What do you think about it?’ And she said, ‘I thought it was great because no one had paid any attention to it before.’ And I think the untold story is that this huge influx of immigrants was putting a strain on social services and communities, especially along the border,” Couric responded. “And I think the mainstream media these days, however you define it, is ignoring that story at their peril.”
