ABC/Univision Project Launches ‘Arpaio Watch,’ Surveys Latinos On ‘Illegal’ Terminology

The ABC News/Univision project continues to develop, and we are beginning to get a sense of the tone that is being set. The network, which for now is just a sub-site on ABCNews.com, is launching a new series called “Arpaio Watch,” which is dedicated to monitoring the policies of Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, and the impact they have on the Latino community.

“The goal of Arpaio Watch is to monitor the effects of Arpaio’s policies on Arizona immigrant communities, and to report from the ground up about how immigration raids, disproportionate police stops and a disconnect between residents and law enforcement can impact a community,” writes the columnist.

In addition, the network has quietly put out a survey aimed at Latino immigrants. The goal is to determine which term is most appropriate for people “without authorization,” as the survey says.

Which term do you prefer be used when talking about immigration status: illegal immigrant, undocumented immigrant, or something else? *

Good comments at the source link, particularly agree with one that says this is activism, not journalism.

OMG! Don't the illegals and their supporters have something else to do like work? According to the MSM they are the hardest workers in the universe and do all of the jobs we don't do.

Who cares what they prefer?? They know as well as we do that they are illegal.

Sheriff Joe gave all the right answers. "It's a free press." If they cover the story truthfully, they will reveal that illegal aliens are being (illegally) protected, aided, and abetted by the media. Joe is NOT intimidated. It only make him (and exposing illegal immigration) that much stronger, and their case (protecting illegal aliens) that much weaker.
