some shouting messages decrying illegal immigration and others speaking out in favor of immigrants

Notice the decryers are SHOUTING against "illegal" immigration, but there's no mention of legal status the other side is merely speaking out in favor of.

Notice the decryers are SHOUTING against "illegal" immigration, but there's no mention of legal status the other side is merely speaking out in favor of.

Unfortunately, that type of reporting is practically the norm.

There are also some discussions on this subject that go like this:

Statement: - "We are against illegal immigration."

Response: - "Why do you hate immigrants?"
