Is the liberal news media slanting its reporting of the immigration debate?

Here’s how James Gerstenzang of the Los Angeles Times spins the story on the immigration bill. On page one of the article, beginning in paragraph 2, he recounts a story of Senator Menendez saying it would cost $250 billion to deport all the illegals now here when he is confronted by “a guy” who says illegals should be deported (in accordance with existing law). The article quotes the senator as saying it would cost $250 billion to deport the illegals already here. To this, the “guy” is quoted as saying “I don’t care,” and that sums up the whole argument for deporting illegals as far as this Los Angeles Times article goes.





Isn’t this how good propaganda works, not through outright lies, but by simply framing the argument in terms that will lead the audience to the desired conclusion? Now what if the senator had been confronted by a “guy” who had asked which is cheaper, spending $250 billion to deport illegals or spending $2.5 trillion to support them with social services if you don’t deport them? Would that question and response have found its way to page one?

+THINK ABOUT THIS AND ASK YOUR REPS ABOUT IT???





By the numbers if this bill passes:





12 million illegals will get amnesty AND so will extended family members ...sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles etc. in Mexico to come here.


Say there are only 5 in the extended family of each illegal here now [WE KNOW THERE ARE MANY MORE THAN 5] .... that totals to 60 million more who can come here, granted amnesty and ultimate citizenship.





NO ONE IS ANSWERING THIS QUESTION:


How will they enforce this law???

Reply:It'll cost us 10X that amount if they are allowed to stay.





My neighborhood has become home to a whole nest of them. No wonder, being there is a landscaper, contractor, mover and car wash in the are to employ them.


My neighborhood used to be a nice blue collar community.... now it's a eyesore full of garbage, unkempt property, run down houses, cars all over, rowdiness, fights, drugs, and music blaring at all hours. The police remove 2, 10 come back.





We've caught them several times breaking into our garage. We keep the windows closed and locked, even when we are home, and I don't dare go out alone at night.





No need to tell me they need to be deported, and NOW!!!








EDIT:





km, that page is now a dead link. I guess someone had the article pulled!
Reply:I live in a city that is 98% hispanic. I am sure a good majority of which are illegal. I live this everyday. I don't need propaganda to tell me how bad it is.
