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.
