As Illinois GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger appeared as a guest on Thursday's Wolf show to react to the Supreme Court ruling against President Barack Obama's executive order helping illegal immigrants get work permits, CNN host Wolf Blitzer at one point begged of his Republican guest on whether he "feels bad for" the millions of illegals affected by the decision.





Well, how far would you go in supporting comprehensive immigration reform, Congressman? Because we know Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, he wants to deport immediately, what, 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. He says they have to go back to their countries. The good ones, he says, they can eventually come back to the United States. He is the leader of your party right now. Where do you stand on this?

About 1:30 p.m. ET, after Rep. Kinzinger began by voicing agreement for the court ruling against President Obama, Blitzer followed up by asking his opinion on Donald Trump wanting to deport illegals, as the CNN host used the preferred liberal term of "undocumented immigrants." Blitzer:

After Rep. Kinzinger, a critic of Trump, voiced disagreement with the idea of deporting 11 million illegal immigrants, tagging such an act as "inhumane," Blitzer followed up by further pressing him about feeling "bad" for illegals:

But don't you feel bad for those four million people who began to come out of the shadows, if you will, started registering, hoping to start a new life? Some of their children are American citizens, were born in the United States, were legal here, and now potentially once again they have to start fearing about this notion they could be deported, these families could be ripped apart.
