In the wake of yet ANOTHER federal judge’s smack down of a state’s (this time Georgia) attempt to enforce immigration laws the federal government refuses to enforce, some of Georgia’s finest illegals decided to have a little protest in downtown Atlanta.  Not just a protest – they decided it would be cool to sit down in the middle of a busy downtown intersection and tie up traffic for a while. 

Two issues to address here:  First is the boldness of these criminals bragging about their criminal behavior while disrupting the lives of people who are here legally, and the other is the way the Atlanta Journal-Constitution covered the story.

I think we can agree that the concept of the rule of law is pretty much dumped on its head when we have a group of criminals arrogantly celebrating their criminality.  In a rational world these criminals would be hiding for fear that they would be discovered and thrown in jail to await deportation.  After all, that’s what would happen to anyone who entered their native country illegally.

Now .. for the newspaper.  Political correctness rules!  Now I’m dealing with the online version of the AJC here, so I really can’t tell you what headlines were used in the printed version.  But you can click here for the main page.  Middle-left you will see “Six arrested at immigration law protest.”  Sub-titles include “Demonstrators block downtown streets” and “Students risk deportation.”  “Students?”  That’s how we identify them?  They’re criminals – here illegally – and we identify them as “students?”  And just why are they students?  Are they being supported by taxpayer funds in some state education institution?  Then click on the “Students risk deportation” link and you’ll see another headline:  “Immigrant youths demonstrate, risk deportation.”  “Immigrant youths?”  Immigration is a legal process.  These aren’t immigrants.  They’re part of an invasion.  The headline should have the word “illegal” in it somewhere. 

It’s one thing when these folks want to bring their dreams and aspirations to America.  Who wouldn’t want to be here?  Well --- who wouldn’t have wanted to be here before Obama started his “fundamental transformation.”  But there is a legal process, and if you don’t follow that legal process then you become a criminal – a lawbreaker.  Why is the newspaper, and presumably so many other media outlets, afraid to identify them for what they are?
