Media bias?

When the newspaper reported the new laws in Alabama, do you think it was biased? One of the new laws is similar to Arizona's illegal immigrant laws, but it goes a bit further -- if you transport illegal aliens or hire them, you are subject to prosecution. Students will be required to show evidence of citizenship; however, under federal rules, they'll still have to allow illegals to go to school.

At any rate, the headline states: "Strict Alabama law targets immigrants." NO, IT DOESN'T! It targets illegals and those who aid and abet them. Linton Juaquin of the National Immigration Law Center says, "It is a sweeping attack on immigrants and people of color in general." NO, IT ISN'T! The law doesn't apply on the basis of skin color. It doesn't apply to legal immigrants. It applies only to ILLEGALS no matter what color they are.

And these laws do work. Next to the article on Alabama's law was one detailing how illegals are fleeing Georgia. Georgia passed similar legislation which went into effect July 1. One of the illegals who is leaving said, "I believe the law should be for criminals, not us." News Flash! If you're here illegally, you ARE a criminal.
