Hispanic Journalism BS!

Diggers Realm has a post about how the National Association of Hispanic Journalist want to the U.S. media to make Owellean Journalism the standard when it comes reporting on illegal immigrants. Here is the shovel full of BS they put out in their press release:
"NAHJ is concerned with the increasing use of pejorative terms to describe the estimated 11 million [Illegals] undocumented people living in the United States. NAHJ is particularly troubled with the growing trend of the news media to use the word “illegals” as a noun, shorthand for "illegal aliens". Using the word in this way is grammatically incorrect and crosses the line by criminalizing the [illegal] person, not the action they are purported to have committed. NAHJ calls on the media to never use “illegals” in headlines."

What journalistic nonsense! The illegal immigrants DID break the law when they entered the country ILLEGALLY. They are criminals but, thanks to lack of enforcement by those failure of the folks in the Federal Government have not been caught yet.
