News Corporation CEO Rupert Murdoch gave a tacit endorsement to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and immigration reform in a tweet he posted Sunday.
Sen Reid right! Boehner should allow House of Reps to vote on immigration. Lead, for country’s sake.

The tweet came in response to Reid calling on House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) on ‘Meet The Press’ Sunday to bring immigration reform up for a vote in the House. Reid subsequently retweeted Murdoch’s tweet.
As Politico pointed out, this isn’t the first time that Murdoch indicated his support for immigration reform. The day after the 2012 presidential election, Murdoch tweeted:
Must have sweeping, generous immigration reform,make existing law- abiding Hispanics welcome. Most are hard working family people.
