PBS' NIMBY TAKE ON AN ILLEGAL ALIEN HIRING HALL

Although illegal immigration gets positive coverage on PBS, when it comes to actually interacting with the people that our porus border admits, PBS execs take a different tack. This became apparent during the debate over a hiring hall for illegal aliens in Arlington County. The County voted to put the hiring hall close to the studios of WETA, where the Newshour and other programming is taped. According to the Northern Virginia Journal, " WETA's Chief Executive Officer, Sharon Percy Rockefeller, who made an almost unprecedented appearance at the board meeting, was stinging in her rebuke to board members." According to the Journal, "She predicted a 'pretty hostile environment' for WETA employees who could be accosted by day laborers while walking from one building to another. Putting the day-laborer building in the planned location will also inconvenience high-profile guests who arrive to be interviewed on the 'NewsHour,' public broadcasting's signature news program that is produced from WETA's studios in Shirlington, Rockefeller said." One can only imagine the horror of public television guests having to confront America's open border, and the implications of their own support for illegal immigration.

Sounds good. Now, lets put such a hall near the offices of the CATO institute and the Wall Street Journal.

The New York Times and Washington Times could also use some.
