Is it possible to have just one of these stories…just one…without the open-borders smear? This story would be accurate and unbiased if just crossing the border back and forth where ever and whenever you please were legal, but it is not…and it should not be.
You don’t want to use the term “illegal immigrant” anymore. Fine. Whatever. But, you still owe it to your readers and to your profession to differentiate between those who came here legally, and those who didn’t. This story, like far too many others, lumps them all together. That is smearing the issue and an insult to all of those TRUE Americans who immigrated here legally.
I am NOT anti-migrant…I am anti-ILLEGAL-immigration. See the difference there?
I am pro-immigration….pro-LEGAL-immigration. See the difference there?
Come on Dylan…I know you import a lot of your news, but certainly you can find better than this. Do a favor for one of your most loyal readers and give me ONE unbiased border story. Please? There’s gotta be at least one out there somewhere….
