MSNBC may have made a big deal a couple of years ago about booting a number of its more far-left hosts as the network tried to shift more to "straight news" programs, but one only need monitor the news network for several hours to observe just how consistently to the left it still is.

In the aftermath of Attorney General Jeff Sessions announcing Tuesday morning that the DACA program that benefits many young illegal immigrants will be ended in six months, the left-wing news network immediately hosted several guests who trashed the decision, with guests using such words as "dark day," "shameless," "lie," "black eye for the country." One guest even invoked the "white supremacists that were marching in Charlottesville" as having a similar agenda.

It took from 11:12 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. for the first right-leaning guest to appear who actually voiced support for ending the DACA program as New Jersey Republican Rep. Leonard Lance argued that Congress should now pass a similar plan so that it adheres to the Constitution unlike the Barack Obama executive order.

Over those first three hours, eight left-leaning guests -- not including journalists -- who opposed the Trump administration decision appeared and gave their reactions against the action. There was one Republican guest (strategist Michael Steel who should not be confused with former RNC chair Michael Steele) who did not clearly state his view on the Trump decision, but did fret that "ending it peremptorily would be a humanitarian catastrophe, an economic catastrophe, and a national security catastrophe" as he argued that Congress should pass a replacement.

It was almost 4:00 p.m. before a second Republican appeared, and the first one to voice support for Trump ending DACA as Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton argued that it was unconstitutional for such a program to be created by executive order. He took no position on how Congress should respond to the program's end as he merely indicated a willingness to accept whatever Congress legitimately enacts as law.

At no point in the reactions to Sessions was there any inclusion of the right-leaning view that conservatives should press for more border security measures that would help prevent such a large illegal immigrant problem to exist again. Also absent from the discussions was anyone advocating the argument that rewarding law-breaking encourages more illegal immigration and short-changes those who followed the law to enter the country.

For her part, shortly after noon on her Andrea Mitchell Reports show, liberal MSNBC host and NBC correspondent Andrea Mitchell fretted over Sessions using the words "illegal aliens" during her discussion of the DACA move, and dismissed the suggestion hinted at by Sessions that rewarding law-breaking encourages more law-breaking:

ANDREA MITCHELL: Let me just play a little bit more of Jeff Sessions talking about controlling our borders, which has nothing to do with these people who arrived prior to 2007. [ATTORNEY GENERAL JEFF SESSIONS] MITCHELL: To say nothing of his use of the word "illegal aliens" which is offensive to a lot of people and not correct. But, Michael, the fact is, I don't know what he's talking about when he talks about the border because this has nothing to do with the border. MICHAEL STEEL, REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST: The surge of folks from Central America to the border in 2014 was not related to DACA. I don't think there's a credible argument to be made that it was.
