Click the Play Button, above, to see excerpts of instances in which the subjects of immigration or xenophobia were discussed during the July 12, 2020, Sunday public affairs programs.
For the third consecutive week, news coverage of the intensifying COVID-19 pandemic and of the 2020 presidential campaign crowded out coverage of almost any other issue on the five top Sunday public affairs news programs, leaving little room for any discussions or comments about immigration, refugees, xenophobia on the July 12, 2020 editions of those programs.
The only mentions alluding to immigration, immigrants, or xenophobia during the programs this week came from the panel on FOX's Fox News Sunday, which commented on President Trump's confusing announcement on a forthcoming executive action he plans to take on immigration and DACA; and NBC's Kristen Welker, who commented on President Trump's base's support for building the wall.
A summary of the discussions that took place during the July 12, 2020, editions of the Sunday morning public affairs programs, along with a link to video of those discussions, follows:
