Ms. Ludwig’s bias is showing. No such thing as an “unauthorized immigrant”...apparently she doesn’t know the difference between an ILLEGAL ALIEN and a LEGAL IMMIGRANT.
Open the article and click on Ms. Ludwig’s name. You can educate her.
What I got back...(S.O.P. and get back every time I’ve ever complained to a reporter about their inaccurate terminology)
“Thanks for your feedback on the story Kim, I personally do not have a problem with the term “illegal immigrant” but our editors have chosen the term “unauthorized immigrant” as the style rule that all reporters must follow.
Take care, Melissa
