AJC “news” item HERE

Dear editor,

The recent front-page news report on a federal judge in Texas delaying Obama’s executive amnesty has a glaring inaccuracy and a direct contradiction of previous promises on legitimate use of terms and descriptions from the AJC regarding immigration reporting.

Readers were repeatedly told that “immigrants” are the targets of Obama’s now delayed amnesty and are “seeking relief” from deportation.

A graduate of New York Times Institute on Immigration Reporting and the UC Berkeley’s school of “Justice and Journalism,” the AJC immigration reporter should know that real immigrants, by federal definition, do not require amnesty, or defacto legalization by illegal executive actions from Obama.

Only illegal aliens have a need for that reward. Not that the Obama regime is deporting many “everyday” illegally present victims of borders anyway.

Immigrants should not be smeared and mixed up with screaming and defiant illegals, especially in a news report designed to drive public opinion. We ask for a correction.
