Yep! Instead of the leading California Spanish news service reporting on the real meaning of "emigrado", La Opinión seems to have a "journalist" stirring it up instead. The reporter that decided to include the correct quote from the famous letter (#3), was Señor Almada. Correspondent Martinéz-Ortega, on the other hand, decided to play fast and loose with the quotes and change emigrado to inmigrante, among other things.
(Emigrado means a legal immigrant. Inmigrante means immigrant, irrespective of legal status.)

Here are the articles:

1. Araceli Martínez-Ortega, "Piden renunciar al candidato Nguyen," La Opinión, Viernes, 20 de octubre de 2006
2. Araceli Martínez-Ortega, "Catean oficina de Tan Nguyen," La Opinión, Sabado, 21 de octubre de 2006
3. Jorge Morales Almada, "Exigen ir a fondo," La Opinión, Sabado, 21 de octubre de 2006
And here are the quotes, all reportedly directly from the campaign letter (again, the third is the language actually included in the letter):
1. "Te advertimos que si tu residencia en este país es ilegal o si eres un inmigrante, votar en una elección federal es un crimen que puede resultar en cárcel."

2. "Estás advertido que si tu residencia en este país es ilegal o eres un inmigrante, votar en una elección federal es un crimen que puede dar como resultado la cárcel".

3. "Se le avisa que si su residencia en este país es ilegal o si es emigrado, votar en una elección federal es un delito que podrá resultar en encarcelamiento."
