Immigration Lies and Truths

10:57 H | Topics: Controversia - Immigration - Internet

bc_060322fastimmigfedbldg5571g_100.jpgJust in case the war in Lebanon and Miss. Puerto Rico becoming Miss Universe distracted you, AlterNet reminds people that the immigration issue is far from dead by exposing some lies surrounding the issue and setting them straight. The Six Immigration Lies, Dispelled are:

1. Immigrants are not animals
2. Neither are they terrorists
3. Tent cities at the border would be 21st-century concentration camps.
4. There's no invasion
5. They speak English, just not "English only."
6. They do not drain public coffers
These are all things that we have written about before, but they are worth repeating.
