Don’t confuse legal, illegal immigrants

The recent front-page news report on a federal judge in Texas delaying President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty (“Judge puts hold on immigration policy,” News, Feb. 18) 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 “immigrants” are the targets of Obama’s now delayed amnesty and are “seeking relief” from deportation.

The AJC immigration reporter should know 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.
