'Refugees': News Networks Refuse to Call Illegals Illegal
Breitbart's Big Journalism ^ | July 3, 2014 | John Nolte

Posted on 07/03/2014 9:56:25 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Newbusters reports that in the wake of tens of thousands of illegal aliens swarming over the American border, the broadcast networks are refusing to use the word "illegal" to describe these illegal aliens. And that's not because they are using words like "invaders" or "soon-to-be Democrats."

Instead, viewers are hearing words like "refugee" and "undocumented." NBC News went so far as to create the Twitter handle #RefugeeRiders.

NBC''s Lauer began his editorializing by arguing that “as so many issues in this country do it's going to boil down to politics. And wherever you stand on the issue, one side or the other, I'm not going to weigh in on that, it's hard to see those images moms and their kids in that situation.” The NBC host then encouraged his audience to share their thoughts using the Today show hashtag #RefugeeRiders.

Throughout the entire report, NBC’s Miguel Almaguer refused to use the term “illegal immigrant” and instead used the term “undocumented immigrants" to describe the 140 individuals being bussed to California[.] …

On ABC’s Good Morning America, reader Ryan Smith didn’t even use the term “undocumented” during the news brief and instead noted that “ new information about those government buses full of immigrants which were blocked from entering a processing center in California Tuesday by this group of angry protesters who say the immigrants are a public safety threat.” During the 8:00 a.m. hour, Smith did use the term "illegal" in his news brief.

Finally, CBS This Morning substitute anchor Margaret Brennan introduced its report by highlighting the “controversial government plan to transfer undocumented immigrants from Texas to California is set to continue this morning.”(continued)

How about “refugees swarm America, Rats look forward to establishing a new Democrat voter block.” Will that work?

attempt by libtards to control the languae and frame the issue.

it’s a full-blown invasion by illegals who have no respect for our laws, our citizens, and our way of life. fedgov has abandoned their oath to protect and defend our borders from enemies foreign and domestic and are actively supporting the invasion.

No, NAFTA and free trade do not apply when it is. Keystone pipeline... RINO Bushes are cowardly retards.

Merkel wants also free trade with EU-US but that does not include shipping Illegals to Europe and Siberia.

There’s got to be a way of hitting them in the pocketbook. That’s the only thing they’ll understand.
