Illegal Immigration and the Media

The Media, in their pursuit for "human" stories, are lending implicit approval to illegal immigration. Picking out "success" stories of illegal aliens, after obtaining legal status, becoming millionaires--fulfilling the "American Dream"--sends a powerful message of approval to many who would like to do the same. The many thousands who do not are ignored; and entirely ignored are the many thousands who end up in our prisons--or worse, those who do not, but should.
Then there are the "economic studies" done by liberal academics and institutions who predict "dire consequences" if we do not have illegal immigrants laboring for us. What ever happened to the "can-do" spirit of the American People. "Give the American People a level playing field and we can compete with anyone". Now it seems we can't do it without underpaid illegal immigrants doing our toiling for us.
I wish they would get their stories straight.
