California newspaper office vandalized over use of 'illegal' immigrant label
FOXNEWS ^ | Jan. 9, 2015

Posted on 01/09/2015 7:07:48 AM PST by PROCON

A California newspaper will continue to use the term "illegals" to describe people who enter the U.S. without permission, despite an attack on its building by vandals believed to object to the term.

The Santa Barbara News-Press's front entrance was sprayed with the message "The border is illegal, not the people who cross it" in red paint, sometime either Wednesday night or early Thursday, according to the newspaper's director of operations, Donald Katich. The attack came amid wider objections to a News-Press headline that used the word "illegals" alongside a story on California granting driver's licenses to people in the country illegally.

Terrorism is illegal, not the terrorists that kill Innocent French people.

The crime of stealing a job from a native American by a foreigner is illegal, not the criminal.

The assassination of Lincoln is illegal, not John Wilkes Booth.

It could go on and on...

*Funny, Mexico never seemed to feel that way about their Southern border.* Ridiculous double standard!

"The border is illegal, not the people who cross it" Think about the absurdity of this statement.

Have an illegal squat on his property and the author would sing a different tune...

” The correct term is illegal invader.”

Insisting on the truth, eh?

So this is another lesson for all on in the Eastern third of the US.

This is what the Mexicans here actually think.

We’ve repeatedly been lectured that immigration is great, assimilation will happen.

Hey have no intention of assimilating. This is colonization and settlement.

Same intimidation that Muslims use too. Any speech they deem offensive...lock your doors, they’re coming.

Santa Barbara newspaper = Charlie Hebdo

As Dennis Prager has noted: “Politically incorrect” is, in reality, that which offends the Left.

Taking lessons form the incessantly-offended Muslims, Latinos are now starting to act out in more violent ways. The Left WANTS America to lose a huge war, and get dismantled and “rebooted”. Never forget that.

I once had that discussion with a middle school student in American History class. She brought up the subject and whined that her granny was an illegal. “Whaa, people are sooo mean! She’s a good grandma!” The class warned me she’d never understand but I stepped in. I asked if she had doors on her house - yes. Did she lock her doors - yes. Wait, you lock your doors because you don’t want strangers wandering into your house - uh, yeah. What if you came home and a stranger was on your couch, watching your tv, eating your food and making himself at home - uh, but, but my grandma is nice!!!

The paper’s right. The correct term is ‘illegal’...

Too bad all Americans haven’t had the opportunity to spend 30 years in SoCal like I did. They will now learn the hard way.

Dennis Prager is a mass immigration enthusiast. He just wants Congress to make the flood from the 3rd world legal so that they aren’t sneaking in.

I listen to Dennis Prager quite often and have never heard him say anything like what you report. And from what he has said I never picked up on anything that would indicate what you say is his position on illegal immigration and border security.

Please provide a source for what you report or at least a few quotes you attribute to him. I'd surely like to verify or disprove what you say. One of us is clearly wrong about it.

Regards

It will probably be the only paper in California still profitable.

Probably moreso after this incident.

“I listen to Dennis Prager quite often and have never heard him say anything like what you report. And from what he has said I never picked up on anything that would indicate what you say is his position on illegal immigration and border security.”

My source is Prager himself. I’ve listened to Dennis since he began with Religion on the Line at KABC in 1982. I once sat in to watch him broadcast at his invitation. I used to get his newsletter in the days before the internet. I’ve heard him state his views on immigration more times than I can count. He supports a large increase in legal immigration. And he’s indifferent to the composition of those immigrants because he subscribes to the goofball notion that America is a Proposition Nation versus an organic culture that gets passed along by families.

I can’t find anything in print on the internet other than this bit; your best bet would be to call his show or email him. He won’t be shy in saying what he thinks.

“As for “immigrant phobic,” Cohen got carried away here, too. Virtually every prominent conservative voice wants an increase in immigration – of legal immigration, of people who can contribute to America’s development. It is illegal immigration that conservatives oppose. Is that distinction too subtle for Cohen to appreciate?”
