I nearly fell out of my chair when a family member emailed this article found today on the CNN website. Even the title is slanted:
Bad economy forcing immigrants to reconsider U.S.
Thelma Gutierrez and Wayne Drash
Now what does that title imply? Illegal immigrants? Legal immigrants? Actually they try to convince you its both. But its really illegal immigrants. But they let us know that rather clearly throughout the article.
LOS ANGELES (CNN) Pedro Pablo slowly folds up his American flag blanket and stuffs it in his duffel bag. With it goes his American dream.
"I left my family and lost four years with them. I will ask them to forgive me," he said.
Pablo is an illegal immigrant from Guatemala who came to the United States to support his wife and five sons back home. When he arrived, construction jobs were plentiful. Over the last year, he says, he's worked three days.
I cant believe this. Do Thelma Gutierrez and Wayne Drash actually think we feel sorry for this guy? Cuz I dont. This is journalism? Looks more like illegal immigration advocacy to me.
He recently boarded a bus with a one-way ticket home, paid for by the Guatemalan consulate in Los Angeles. "I thought I could get ahead here. I regret coming."
You regret coming? You f**king ingrate! You came here illegally! You sucked on the teat of the American trough for four years and gave nothing back. You took money out of my pocket, paying for your emergency room medical care and your childrens public school education.
And you say you regret coming. Thats like a burgler robbing a house, stealing your money and valuables, and then adding insult to injury by telling you he was dissatisfied you had in your fridge.
