The Star is all Stinking Mexican Today



I'm not placated, I'm still pissed, I didn't see any Latino surnames writing these articles and these stories are so insipid they make a hot button issue actually seem rather boring. Here are the stories SeƱor:

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS: Costs, gains for KC

Family members work hard to provide for themselves, but must rely on social safety net
- Or "How to blame Mexicans forperenniallyy screwed up Healthcare Industry." Big Pharma hates Paco just as much as you!.

Who pays? Answer is not always clear
- Or "Let's forget that white welfare built the highways out to JoCo while the Mexicans just work on nearly every roof in that part of town"

Do illegal immigrants pay fair share of tax load?
- Show me the sales tax.

Immigrants add benefits and burdens
- Or "While I enjoy the benefits of cheap labor, the knowledge that Pedro's kids will one day be able to vote scares the crap out of me."

Q&A: An Illegal immigrant
- Discussionss between Black people and Mexicans regarding "When are you going home?" can easily turn ugly.

I'm not sure what to make of all this coverage and I'm sure the conservative cornflakes are going to be crying about liberal bias. Personally, I think the only thing this deluge of coverage represents is how far behind KC's print media is on this issue considering that the Immigration Bill is pretty much dead and we've moved on to more interesting ways to ignore the fact that the U.S. is still losing the war in Iraq.
